All six sides of the official Fidget Cube, ranked from worst to best

Before fidget spinners took the world by storm, there was the Fidget Cube. The original became one of the highest grossing products on Kickstarter, raising nearly $6.5 million, and kicked off the current trend of small plastic toys designed entirely for your restless fingers to play with.

I found out about the Fidget Cube in late 2016, after the Kickstarter fundraising period was already over. I knew I would have to wait at least a month or two to receive my cube, but I didn’t want one of the knockoff versions that were flooding Amazon. I ponied up the $22 that Antsy Labs demanded on its website, and got ready for a long wait. When it finally came in late April — after months of delays — I couldn’t wait to explore the wonders that awaited me with the six unique sides of the cube.

However, I soon learned that not all sides of a fidget cube are created equal. Some facets of the fidget’s blocky physique are clearly superior to others, and after months of testing I have determined exactly which is the best of all.

Here are all six sides of the Fidget Cube, ranked from worst to best.
