Inventor(s)Antsy Labs

The Fidget Cube is a small handheld device (known as a fidget toy) designed by Antsy Labs.[1] It has sensory tools on all sides: a rocker switch, gears, a rolling ball, a small joystick, a spinning disc, a "rubbing stone", and 5 buttons.[2] The cube is intended to provide an easy way to occupy one's hands and other senses, particularly for self-soothing.[3][2]

Reception

In a positive review, The Verge described the cube as "basically a baby toy for adults".[4]

After its 2016 Kickstarter campaign, The Fidget Cube was one of the highest funded crowdfunding projects[5][6][7] (the tenth highest funded Kickstarter project).[8]
