Original Fidget Toy Game, Rubberized Classical Controller Fidget Concentration Toy with 8-Fidget Functions and Lanyard - Excellent for Relieving Stress and Anxiety

I'm a fan of the original Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs. A lot of the knockoff and counterfeit cubes lack a certain "quality" especially when it comes to the individual fidget functions and the tactile feel. While the black case part of this doesn't feel all that special, just basic cheap plastic, the fidget functions are surprising in their quality. I'll start with the joystick, I think this is probably the best joystick I've ever felt on a fidget device. It springs back into place, it feels low to the surface beneath it, and it has a convex curve both in the head of the joystick and in the base underneath it. My next favorite is the switch, it's stiff and has a great snap to it. I would say it's better than the original fidget cube in this regard. Next up, the 4 buttons. Two that click, two are soft. Next, the spinning wheel. One of my favorite things about the original FC is the clicking spinning wheel. This wheel does not click, in fact it has no resistance at all because there's a tiny bearing under the wheel. But, that smooth motion is satisfying in its own way. Next, the spring-loaded pull tab. This thing is fun. You can pull and release it to hear it "snap". Or you can pull back and let the spring pull it back slowly with resistance (alter the speed as you wish). You can also rub your thumb up against the tab the wrong way to have a nice solid stationary tab to rub or pick against. Next, the side rollers. One side is two rollers that spin freely, but have a slight click resistance as you turn. The other side is a single roller that stops at the ends, so you basically roll it back and forth in the middle. I got the yellow one for my own reasons, but I'm glad to see they sell this with a lot of different color options. I like the black body and colored buttons. Also, the non-bulky and smooth edge design means you can put it in your pocket. The original fidget cubes don't fit well in your pocket. This thing is basically the size of a keyless entry fob for your car. I still have my fidget cubes, but this thing might become my new favorite fidget device.

A fun little distraction. I bought it for a workmate, and he often uses it when in an online meeting. It doesn't exactly feel like an actual controller, and it isn't rubbery at all, it is entirely plastic.

My wife is recovering after a stroke. She's using this toy to train fingers on her left hand. To early to report any kind of improvement, but she loves it!

Really good quality compared to its price

This little thing has so much to mindlessly fiddle with - it's perfect for holding while working or on the phone. I bought it for such a low price that I can't complain about the build quality, but if I could wave a magic wand I'd want it to feel a bit more "solid". Because it's all plastic, springs, and switches, it is a little bit noisier than I wish it was, and it can rattle around a bit. It's fine for me working from home, but if you wanted to use this in public (school, library, office), you might find it too noisy.
