Quote from: lostpony on May 08, 2017, 02:44:05 AMWhats this fidget cube everyone but me knows about?I found a couple of traditional wooden tops that i like but they require a surface to use. I took one to work but my fingers never stop moving there anyway so i've only used it a couple of times there, but it's nice to have around especially after taking my ponies home.This is. It's a small cube, designed to help you focus when you're distracted. It has a lot of tactile aspects, including switches, buttons, and so forth, that you can "fidget" to burn off restlessness or excess energy. The goal is that by eliminating your desire to move around and fidget, you can focus on work or the task at hand. It can also give you something to fixate on, if you're anxious, to get your mind off of whatever it is that causes your anxiety. People have used similar coping methods for ages, they just condensed them into a tidy package.

In two months you will find millions of these in the trash.For a lot of kids, yeah. But, it does certainly have a purpose for people on the autism spectrum or have something like ADHD. Like Lhianneth says, the repetitive motion is good for relaxing/focusing. For my small hands spinners wouldn't be effective, but the motion certainly would for my ADHD. (I would also likely have used it privately or under a desk, but I am also an adult compared to the teenage demographic that seem to be attached to them right now)

From my angle it's just a dumb thing kids want because I think they'll all get bored with them after five seconds once they actually get them.
