Fidget cubes are ...?
 
== Features ==
[[File:China_fidget_cube_open.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Opened clone cube]]
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 while others don't, some cubes allow you to press/click the shiny ball and joystick, number of clicky buttons and so on.
 
The body of the cube measures approximately 3 cm on each side (not including sticking out parts).

=== Common flaws ===
[[File:China_fidget_cube_worn_joystick.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Worn joystick "bearing"]]
 
* The joystick is prone to get stuck pretty quickly. This may be due to wear and tear on the metal ball inside, which rubs against a another metal plate, causing a flat surface there on the ball. Applying some grease might or might not help.
* Build quality is hit-or-miss.
