Fidget Toys 

Fidget toys from cube manufacturers

A fidget is a small toy that keeps your hands busy. You can spin it, fold it, flip it or click it, and there's nothing you have to solve. In this category you'll find fidget toys from brands known in speedcubing: QiYi, MoYu, ShengShou, YJ, FanXin and Zcube. Some are simple gadgets that keep your hands occupied. Others combine a fidget with a real puzzle.

Types of fidgets we offer

• Magnetic folding cubes (Magnetic Folding Cube from MoYu, QiYi, SengSo and Zcube). Their segments are held together by magnets. You can flip them and fold them into different shapes.
• Infinity cube (QiYi and ShengShou). This cube is made of smaller cubes. You can fold and unfold it endlessly, and the movement always returns to the starting point.
• 1x3x3 spinners, e.g. QiYi 1x3x3 Fidget Cube, QiYi Windmill S, FanXin 1x3x3 Spinner (in small and large versions) or SengSo Spinner Floppy Cube. Each of them works like a fidget spinner and is also a fully functional 1x3x3 floppy cube. So you can both spin it and solve it.
• Spinners and haptic coins, e.g. QiYi Haptic Coin Spinner. You hold it between your fingers by the fixed centres on both sides, while the coin between them spins freely. This group also includes the ShengShou Pentagram Spinner, Magic Beans Triangle Spinner and the spinner version of the QiYi O2 Cube.
• Magic Bean series: Single-Sided and Double-Sided Magnetic Bean, Pyramid Magic Bean Cube and Magic Beans Pop Can. These are small fidgets in various shapes and versions.
• Cube-shaped fidgets: QiYi Fidget Cube, QiYi Fidget Plus and the Fidget cube from Zcube. They are small and easily fit in a pocket or pencil case.
• YJ Tick Cage is a two-player game similar to tic-tac-toe. On their turn, a player inserts a coloured piece, turns a layer or flips the whole cage. The goal is to line up three pieces of the same colour.

How to choose the right fidget

For spinning in your hand while studying, working or watching a film, spinners and haptic coins are the best fit. They are easy to use and you don't have to think about them. Magnetic folding cubes and infinity cubes are for people who prefer flipping and folding pieces. These toys can't be scrambled, so there's nothing to solve afterwards.

If you want the toy to be educational too, choose a 1x3x3 spinner. A floppy cube has only a few possible moves, so it works well as a first introduction to solving, also for children. People who already solve cubes usually treat it as a light puzzle for a break. YJ Tick Cage is a choice for two players, great for example for playing together with a child.

Many fidgets are made of small parts. If you're buying for a young child, check the recommended age on the page of the selected product.
