== Introduction ==
 
Fidget cubes are ...?
 
== Features ==
 
All cubes have these common features that can be found on the sides of the device:
 
* Joystick
* Rocker switch
* 5 buttons, some are clicky and some silent
* Spinning disk
* 3 rollers/gears & rotating shiny ball
* Oval shaped indent (does nothing)
 
Exact implementations of these features can vary. For example, some cubes do have rubberized buttons, some cubes allow you to press/click the shiny ball.
 
The body of the cube measures approx. 3cm on each side (not including sticking out parts and things).
 
== Chinese Fidget Cubes ==
