1177. Fidget

I have one and a Fidget Cube. I really don't care about how much of a fad they are. I got them because I figured it would give my left hand something to do other than click a pen while I work. Some of my job requires clicking things rather than typing, so I got one of each and they're not bad.

I've heard complaints about the spinner saying they're distracting to the user…it really depends on how you spin it. I hold it between my thumb and middle finger and flick it with my ring finger so it's a one hand thing. Plus, I already click a pen, so it's exchanging one thing for another.

But I'll defend these things as a tool for people with ADhD, autism, or just fidgety hands. I won't defend them as toys, but I don't care if they're bought as toys. Easier for me to get one.
