So today I’m taking out my fidget toy to work (neatly hidden away in my pocket) and so far I do have to say it helps. Every now and then I click the buttons and it shuts my mind up for a few seconds during which I can refocus.
It’s strangely soothing. It also does give me a headache when I do it too much.
What are your findings?
These are the beans I want on lemmy
I can’t stop playing with them and making her claws extend/retract!
BEHOLD!
I’ve been yelled at because of these.
The corner of the phone case.
This looks exactly like my phone and case, and yes I stim this way a lot. OnePlus Nord N200 5G?
This specific GAN356 M speed cube. Don’t buy a Rubik’s cube. The GAN cube is way more satisfying to turn. They are so incredibly satisfying I’ve bought like 4 of them after losing them/giving them to friends.
Cube gang checking in. GAN has the smoothest, perfectly clicking spins, I love it so much!
Yes! I’ve got a Moyu with magnets and it’s just such a vast improvement over the official brand.
I don’t have a picture of mine but one if my favorite fidget toys is a metal mini slinky
I’ve got a fidget cube and spinner, but my lifelong tradition of finding and fidgeting with blue tac has never gone away
Doesn’t that like… make your hands all gooey and smelly?
Somehow not really, it’s probably since I wash my hands pretty regularly and don’t really sweat on my fingertips since I’ve been doing it for so long lmao. Although I do replace the blue tac whenever it does eventually get dirty from other things, which is probably like once every 2 years or so.
I don’t think this instance allows those kinds of pictures…
I had one of those! Just recently I wondered where it went…
It was probably hidden by someone who isn’t a fan of the fact that these thing’s buttons make clicky noises.
I do wish the one side with three clicky buttons and two silent buttons made them feel different so you could avoid the clicky ones when needed without testing them.
Put a drop of super glue on the non-clicky buttons. Now you can tell without looking AND have new stimulation points.
Do not have mine on me right now to make a photo. But it looks like this:
I honestly don’t have a dedicated fidget toy. I have a leather phone case with a magnetic strap and I use that. It’s pretty satisfying to flick the little strap open and shut and listen to the little noise of the magnet snapping it into place.
I have one exactly that like that, and it’s one of my favorites for sure.
Not a fan of that thing, I need something with more texture or a different / interesting shape I can move around in my hand.
Just imagine a pic of a phone and a gaming PC.
My old car used to have a switchblade key (Mazda 2) and that was the best fidget when I was out and about.
Right now on my desk I have a 7mm or so, heavy allen wrench that provides plenty of mindless, quiet, fidgeting. My only wish is that it would stay colder longer.
I’ve used one of these spinny toys for years now. It works great for me. Usb for scale.
