A Fidget Cube

The Fidget Cube is a small handheld device designed by Antsy Labs to help users focus.[1][2] It has sensory tools on all sides: an on/off-style switch, gears, a rolling ball, a small joystick, a spinning disc, a rubbing pad, and depressible buttons.[3] The cube is intended to provide a discreet way to occupy one's hands and other senses, particularly for self-soothing.[4][3]

The Fidget Cube was the subject of one of the highest funded crowdfunding projects[5][6][7] (the tenth highest funded Kickstarter project).[8]
