"Tangle doesn't make alot of noise" My tangle: allow me to sing you the song of my people.
Honestly though
Emerald Pines there only loud if there old
Olivia Mayberry Mine was years old and creaky and what I did Was wash it with soap and water and it got rid of the sound and made it more loose as it was going tight
Tangle tangles are so cool but u aren't confused by twiddle fiddle
Edwena Bennett no no it has tangle brand name on it. It’s like 6 years old tho and barely used
A lot of these are far louder for an office than you'd think. I had a colleague actively flip out over my infinity cube. Putty or a tangle is far quieter. Maybe someone could do a felt covered tangle so it's totally quiet. My dream is to create a fully quiet fidget cube. All switches move but make next to no sound, sliders are seamless, roller ball and dials are silent. Something ideal for a quiet office.
Well it just became a dream of me too💛 I would also love that for the simple dimple💞 The pop is satisfying, but the loudness bothers other people and also myself sometimes..(when trying to focus).🙂
I was just thinking about this. I can't believe the fidget cube won. If my cube neighbor had one of those and kept switching the switch it would drive me nuts.
My Infinity cube is very quiet
My fidget cube massivly helps my ADHD brain at school but when I need it most, Silent tests, its too loud. If this ever gets made, let me know!
Sometimes I have moments where sounds don't bother anyone else (chewing, tapping, etc) make my skin crawl. I have fibromyalgia and getting overstimulated easily because of pain is common. Your colleague may have misophonia, may have had a bad day, or may have an invisible chronic illness like me (and my mom as well). I don't know how many times I have had a sensory overload moment and it makes me look like a complete jerk. I'm sure that it wasn't meant in that manner. Thank you for reading and God Bless ✝️❤️🙏
My adhd brain appreciates the speed and efficiency of this video. No long intros, doesn’t linger on each toy, highlight a toy and move on to the next. Perfect!
Speaking as an adult with ADHD I would also say that some of those items would become distracting to the person doing them. I can't not look at a Rubik's cube while i mess with it, or try to make shapes with the tangle but good call on the fidget cube. The low key look doesn't inspire any customization (Rubik's cube or thinking putty) by the user or inspiration for tricks (like the old tech deck finger skateboards). Instead you can play with it in your pocket or under the board room table without it becoming a distraction to the people around you.
Agreed! :) Good observation.
I have ADHD too but I find that fiddle toys really help me.
@Francesca Porras they aren’t a Karen, they are sharing their opinion and you are rude
@Francesca Porras How are they a Karen? You don't have ADHD (probably) and they were techincally giving out advice. Sucks that you're an anime fan calling random people Karen.
@Josh Darnell When I was about 10 yrs old I had severe ADHD, and even I found these fiddle toys to greatly increase my productivity, I'm 16 now, and my ADHD is practically gone :)
I think that the popularity thing really decreased a lot of things that had potential
Ya popularity is a dum category because your trying to see the best fidget toy. And of course the ones like fidget cube and fidgetspinner are gonna be the most popular. But they are not certainly the best.
@@savoryseaweed495 ikr? unfair! :(
Yeah I agree, and plus it doesn’t even make sense
@@audbee14 yea
My therapist bought me a fidget toy, which inspired me to look into skill toys. I started with a Rubik's snake and have tried many others since. I think the baoding balls are best for low level skill (if rotating while balls touching) and is least distracting. Though the sounds they make can be somewhat annoying to others.
Thinking puty: does not make a sound Him: 4 stars
bubbles in the putty: pulling the putty: pounding the putty: throwing the putty hard:
why are we still her just to suffer
@@NiceEyeballs *here
*putty and it doesn’t have to make a sound. It can feel good too.
Is because thinking putty could get stuck in maybe hair or any carpet and that’s annoying
if anyone wants a very subtle fidget toy that’s not going to get taken away by teachers or peers won’t think twice about, i suggest trying a spinner ring. it looks like a regular ring but the middle spins, allowing you to have something to fidget with while it looks like a normal ring. they have ones that look more masculine, feminine, and everything in between.
yesss!! I just got a version of this (kinda different cause the spinner is on top of the ring instead of on the band) and it is so helpful, bonus points for being very hard to lose!
I have those as well they are so great and super subtle. I am surprised they are never included on any lists. They are super awesome too because since you are wearing them you don't lose them 😅. Most of my fidgets end up in the void because I lose them.
Omgosh yes! I got one for work and it really helps so much
@@jclyntoledois it quiet?
I personally love the mesh n marble and flippy chain bike chain thingy as they are both quiet and go under the radar at school and I love fidgeting with them and they calm my anxiety
Do a best fidget toy for school! (New one)
For school I'd say it's about the same other then maybe professionalism and popularity
the butterfly knife
I’m America some one will pull a real knife out
In my opinion, it is Infinity Cube. I bring mine everyday and flip while the teacher is teaching. It really helps me not get distracted.
1337 Cubing try the mobii fidget I use it for middle school and they come in different colors and sizes
I'm a huge fan of the marble and mesh at work. It ended up close to the middle of the pack here, but I've found them to be the least distracting fidget toy, both to myself and my colleagues, due to their size and simplicity. I do wish they came in more subtle colors (black, white, metalic), because sometimes I feel a bit silly with a neon-colored version in my more formal professional setting.
0:44 that editing doe
True
glad that was in the video
ikr
I just play around with a deck of cards and keep shuffling them. Looks cool to me and feels like I am about to make an important decision.
That is the best idea, I’ve been doing it since I saw the post. Thank you!
I like shuffling cards for fun too lol
Who else remembers when fidget spinners were the thing
🙋♂️
@@TheFriendlyReviewer still is yknow
Just bought a really expensive one for dirt cheap because no one wants them anymore. I’m one of the few people who actually liked them lol
Yeah teachers did not really enjoy kids playing with them
Football Fan no lol
I feel like noise should get it's own column. I know it's factored into some of the other categories, but really, being quiet is quite important in a work/school setting.
Yeah, it would be a way better category than popularity
For me personally, I like sensory toys that make noise. For example, popping noise, cracking noise, clicking noise. Idk why but noise has always calmed me. If there is no noise, that’s what triggers my anxiety. (In most cases)
My personal favorite fidget items include pencils (simple to find, easy to fidget with), stretchy bracelets/hair ties (again, simple to find, easy to fidget with), and specifically for when I'm on a stage for... Some reason (Plays, singing, talent show, class whatever), I find that an item of clothing such as a skirt/jacket around the waist, anything around the neck, or anything on the wrist does the trick without drawing the audiences attention to your fidgeting.
They let you fidget during plays? They tell us not to wear sweatshirts around our waists and not to fidget, but I guess every program is different.
@@mr.e.person1379 well with the roles/groups I’ve been put in I end up wearing skirts, so I usually use my skirt. also, technically they don’t allow fidgeting, but if they can’t tell, then they can’t stop me.
@@unicornofpeace48 very true
2020 goal: learn to solve a Rubics Cube :-) lol Love the breakdown and graphics!! And the puppet!!!
Buy a new one and never touch it 🙃
Brian Vlasich I can solve a cube in 9 seconds
I can solve a cube *By using a cheat app on my phone*
Brian Vlasich solving a 3x3 is easy! It literally takes like 1 day to learn
Any cubes
Gonna buy the figet keychain because its so simplistic and quet
Good choice
Ah yes, quet
Nice I got the same
Plz reply
I made one myself, but I lost it. I don't have any more materials to make another one either 😭
*_I can feel the power of ADHD within me._*
I have adhd and constantly looking for something to do
@Zoe Vishnitsky ye same

Same bro. *same* ✨👁👄👁✨
for years, ive literally just been using a mini number padlock in class as my school has a ban on fidget cubes and most fidget items but i can use the excuse that its for my locker, i can use this easily as its quiet and its fun to spin it- plus u can lock and unlock it. its rlly good
Bike chain fidgets and spinning rings are my favorites. They're some of the only ones I can use while working because they go in one hand and I don't have to focus on them at all.
Those rings are lit just ordered some
Hi Brock love your vids
are they good quality?
there underrated
Same
I made my own twiddle fiddle with those wood clothes pins spring. Just take out the spring and connect all them together and make a circle and it works awesome!
Interesting idea 🤔
I remember how I used to have a padlock as a fidget toy. The kind with the spinning dial and you has to turn it x way clockwise for the first number, y way counter clockwise for the next and so on and so forth. It was the first one I ever got my hands on, thus I felt so proud opening and closing it. 100% would buy one of the same model again just to play with, even if it was big and heavy.
🔒 🔓
I have a huge range if fidget toys and like the ones that were covered here. For others' sake, I recommend some kind of stress ball-type toy, some kind of picking/pulling toy, or some kind of fuzzy toy as well. While the toys in this video were very focused on the concentration aspect of fidgeting in the office, I recommend a squishy, pully, or fuzzy toy for stress relief in the office as well. It helps a lot
Great ones as well!
Any other cubers? (People that can solve it)

R, U, R’, U’
Yeet boi I know how to solve 3x3 My best is 21 seconds (pretty bad)
love how this video is formatted, you did such a good job sharing your findings. appreciated this. keep shining bright darling. xx
I have a whole bag of fidgets and my favorite ones to use at work are my tangles and my bike keychain ring. I used to love my fidget cube but after awhile it got too boring
My absolute favorite is the Bucky balls, as I like to call them, or magnetic balls. They come in a variety of colors, sizes, and amounts. 10/10 I would recommend them highly!
I want them so bad but they're like 30 dollars so I feel it's kind of a ripoff
I think keyboard switch testers could make it on top, but not enough popularity...
“The contact lens holder” 😂 it’s a simple dimple
Thank you! This was very helpful! Lately I’ve been looking for fidget toys and now I’ve got some of the best ideas!
Any cubers??
Omg I love the infinity cube I'm jealous staring at him playing with it
Sorry ... I think
love, literal anti-stress toys are super relaxing who thinks the same as me ✨💞👀
Really appreciate this vid man. Keep up the good work!👍👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Just got to get your self a quiet speed cube, learn how to one hand solve, and your set

I love the tangle and the big brain simple dimple one it really helps me in school when I have a presentation or something my teacher knows I am nervous so I bring that up with me:)
I personally love having a balisong trainer because it’s just very easy to do without looking and I could do it for hours and they do help me concentrate with work or things I am supposed to be doing
same but for begleri. Gotta have the skill toy to concentrate lol
My favorite fidget toy is ..... the fidget spinner ! Im literally playing with a fidget spinner right now, while watching this !
I was so shocked about the infinity cube annoyance rating. I've gotten so many complaints on how annoyingly loud it sounds (it's like when someone is constantly clicking their pen). To be fair, though, I could just be the only one who fidgets with it as fast and as loudly as I do 😭 But, it's because of how noisy it is that I've been looking for alternatives. I might try out the putty 👀
Those fin-gears actually look so much fun to do.
I love infinity cube and magnetic rings which is very interesting to reducing stresses & anxieties. But these are so much cooling..
Mesh marble is my fave, it actually relives my stress unlike the others
Infinity Cube, Fidget Cube & Rubik's Cube are the best!
Where can I buy the fidget spinners shown on this video? They look so cool, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I have a more silent way of playing with the rolling sticks (kururin) . Also fit for office I just hold it horizontally on the desk, and spin it. :) it's really addictive and helps me focus Love it
Good tip!
Ordering the top 5 rn omg i can't believe just because of this video my mom is buying me loads of stuff lol
Good for u! I'm happy for u ☺
My mom bought me a bikechain/ flippy chain and a simple dimple
I just bought a bundle back, the fidget pad is hands down my favorite. I can keep quiet or make obnoxiously satisfying clicky noises, and it gives me a lot of ways to fidget. I like it better than the die because it has less ways I can break it by fidgeting too hard.
After trying out all fidgets I like tangles the best imo, they have different varieties to choose from too which I appreciate cause I like both fidgets that has that satisfying sound and also quiet ones to use in public.
Also if you wear a chain, it can be a very good fidget toy. I wear a 6mm Cuban and it works very well to just fidgeting with in 1 or 2 hands.
The Thumb Chucks are also called Begleri
👍 ⭕️----------------⭕️
In greece we use begleri every Day ! 🇬🇷
i thought he meant the office as in the show lmao
We could only wish - #1 Stapler in Jello
Im trying go get some fidget toys since I have anxiety. What one is best for me?
nice video. was very helpful for me to finding another fidget toy
Thanks!
Il admit I love a stress ball myself but for a fidget toy I love a tangle or fidget cube
My favorite that fits all of the qualifications is the polar pen. I just realized that that I commented this on your last video. 😐
Still haven’t picked one up yet
And u should realize that it's 40 bucks :/
i need a fidget toy asap, i deal with anxiety and im always picking at my scabs and hands. it messes my hands up so bad cuz they start bleeding. which one should i get?
I love tangle because of its sound and it takes your mind off of things
I love using my counselor’s infinity cube whenever I go in for appointments
special needs LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOoOOOOoOOOooooooOooOOOOO
Do one for school Btw I like the speks magnetic balls
Eshan Ravikanthi so do I
Ya, the balls are dope.
I literally was just about to look something similar up and I have never watched/ looked anything up like this before. Weird coincidence.
i have a toy that is low Quality and it is hard to play with, some parts fall out but i can but it back together again, i can make shapes and stuff it makes a little click sound and i just wanna tell you that because i wanna know was it a waste of money or not
Remember me I recommended the fidget keychain last time.
Yep!
Yay!im happy to hear that.
Sorry I’m late.
@@nathanbunton7031 talk about late
kzhead.info/sun/oZeGn6ilbIereGw/bejne.html
Check the ONO Roller, that's on another level!
Perhaps ... soon
This is awesome! Love this
Stress balls and the bike chain toy are my go to fidget toys.
Everyone: I should get one of these. Me: I’ll get a butterfly knife
They are kind of fun and may have been fidgeting quite a bit with them lately now that I'm doing more from home
Definitely worth it. Personally Balisong is my Favorite hobby. Great community too
I just order a fidget pad on amazon
while the thumb chucks, aka begleri, are large and quite loud (visually), their smaller, usually handmade counterparts are nice to look at and are not as intrusive. they can be used with one hand without paying a whole lot of attention to it, with a little practice of course :)
needed this tbh
Tge Rubiks Cube is for SURE my favourite
Don’t bother with the FinGears (magnetic rings) they’re new so they’re cheaply made and there aren’t any high quality or even just good quality ones yet
what was the name of this capsule at the end?! Fidget capsule? I cannot find it anywhere and you do not list it in descrpition
I HAVE to choose between fin-gears or fidget pad. Please let me know which is the best…
3:01 sounds like my stomach rumbling
The hunger is real
I just got done watching the first video and I thought I wish there was a 2 video and poof
Almost like 🧙♂️ magic
The Friendly Reviewer it truly is Ps I love your vids
Thanks!
My favorite is to twirl my pen/pencil/remote/whatever around my thumb, catch it and repeat. Been doing it since high school! My second favorite is the thinking putty!
Can you make a fidget that bends? Basically you get a lot of clips and take the metal things off, then just put them together! I’m playing with it right now lol
For anyone wondering the “contact lenses holder” is called a simpl dimpl
Milo Grey tyy
That names so cute omg.
That name pisses me off
Me : has figit spinner in hand The friendly reviewer : “because of its popularity with kids” Me: I am finally going to be popular
I have one in my hand too 😂
That fidget cube will be my fidgety hands treat during school
I just like taking mdma and playing with those, trippy n dope
I like to weave boondoggle/gimp and that kinda acts like a fidget toy.
I had to google it, but yes - I could see that working well
@@TheFriendlyReviewer Huh. Didn’t think he’d see this.
@@kymarek307 as a wise shrek once said, "huh. didnt think he'd see this"
Next time try ONO fidget roller
Look Cool ⭕️⭕️
@@TheFriendlyReviewer thank you
Looking at the simple dimple, and laughing at him not knowing what its called.😂🤣
I had something like the flexi puzzle but i don’t know where i put it
Second
Third
I find tangles and fidget cubes really good But I also like to use things like elastic bands and fidget spinners (I can't bring the fidget spinner to school as they are banned and "not cool")
I can’t believe the fidget cube won. That’s so last year
DO FINGEARS EVEN SHIP TO THE US????!!!
What was that metal thing when you were playing with the thumb chucks
the fidget cube does have silent features two butons make zero noise and if you roll the ball and switch they are also silent thats why its so good because it has somthing for silent fidgeting and audible fidgeting it was an easy win but i love the infinity cube as well
Who want's a new toy? Let's all play together! 🥰👐🥰
This guy looks like Doug from telltale’s Walking Dead
I had to Google who that was ... and yeah, I kind of do look like him
Before I had thumb chucks,they were really fun to play with
I personally like fidget cubes, I used to have one back in high school for anxiety but sadly lost it, I need to get a new one
I really recommend fidget cubes,infinity cube,marble mush,pop it,and tangle it is super fun!
Great list
