Fidget Cubes and spinners are taking over the planet! It's the Giga/Nano pet of this generation. At least this one doesn't require batteries. :)
We looked into getting a Fidget Cube for our fidget friendly family. Let's just say I've broken many a pen while fidgeting with the clip portion. And my kids and husband wanted to try them too.
We bought our first Faux-Fidget at a local itsugar store for $9.95. We planned on giving this one to our 9 year old daughter to use.
Then a week later I ordered my husband the original Fidget Cube from the inventor of the product. This project started on Kickstarter and the inventors raised over $6.5 Million (so far) of their original $15k goal. Wow! You can now purchase the original Fidget Cube from that company for $22 (mine was $25 with tax/shipping). So...it's a lot more than the knock-off cube.
So how do they compare? Let's look at them side by side.
They look almost exactly the same at first glance. Both have the same features which include: Click, Glide, Flip, Breathe, Roll & Spin. Both of the fidgets have a similar weight although the original one feels a bit more solid and is a bit smaller.
Although they are very similar each has a benefit over the other. The Fidget Cube has a smooth spinning circle (top R photo) while the knock off barely moves. However, the knock off spinning circle (bottom R) both spins and clicks (pushes down) while the Fidget Cube only spins.
So which do we like better? Well the family is divided, 1/2 like the original and 1/2 the knock off. So save your money and get the cheaper one! :)
