Offered by the same seller that sells these squishies; described as floating on water and listed as food-safe. Designs range in size from 2.5in (6.35cm) to 4.5in (11.43cm) and you get a lot of them, so you can tuck them all over the place in stim kits/bags/etc.

[image description: two knock-off fidget cubes, one white with green buttons and one grey with black buttons, sitting on a red watermelon slice pillow. The white cube wears a thick knock-off pink Prism; the grey wears a stretched red Zuru Prism. The pink Prism is much thicker and wider than the Zuru Prism, and sits about three times as high off the cube, meaning the buttons don’t stretch out past it as they do on the red Prism. The white cube has a black USB-cable-style cord attached to one corner of the cube; this cord is not attached to the Prism.]

Knock-off Fidget Cube Prism - eBay, $1 USD.

Item has free standard international shipping and is as of posting part of a buy 1, get 2 (3 items total) at 5% off sale.

The knock-off Prisms do not have an attachment for a clip or cable. If you’re looking to use these as a way to attach a cube to a keychain or bag, they won’t work well. You’ll need to tie or hitch the strap around a side of the Prism itself–perhaps the most secure way to do this would be to close a large jump ring about one side and then connect the ring to a keychain or lanyard.

As protection or padding for a fidget cube, especially in the sense of preventing all but the joystick buttons from clashing against desk or floor, it’s fabulous. The fakes are very thick and muffle the cube quite well. For anyone prone to dropping or knocking, and fearing either making a loud noise or breaking the buttons/switches, I absolutely have to recommend this. It cuts down the sound so much and offers a lot of protection.

They are quite big. I suspect they’d be a little too big for the Zuru Fidget Cubes, which are smaller than my fakes. They’re also not as silky to touch as the Zuru Prisms, so they’re not quite as tactile.

As protection, though, especially for such a cheap price, they work incredibly well.

stimtoy resource/info blog here! mostly centred around finding stim toys related to people's special interests; we've been inactive for a long while but hoping to start posting again~

Hello, lovely followers. I’ve been caught up in real life, so it’s taken me longer to post this than I wanted.

As I said last time, a few of the blogs from which I regularly reblogged have deleted, gone inactive or seldom update, so I think it’s time to put together a new, more updated list of folks we can all check out for stim goodness. I’m getting such a scarcity of review posts on my dash at the moment, and I really need to do something about it!

A quiet ask of mine is that if your blog operates on a platform of hating a marginalised group or is a discourse stim blog, I’d appreciate it if you let this post pass you by. I prefer my stim space to be as safe and welcoming as possible for myself and those who follow me, and that includes people of a wide variety of identities and experiences. I don’t wish to take this into discourse or debate territory, as this blog isn’t the place for it. I just ask that those who intersperse their stim with expressions of hate or a lot of discourse discussions let this post be so the contents can be as safe as possible for the greatest number of stimmers.

So, if you are a stim blog or know of one, and the blog fits the above requirements, I would be grateful if you could reply to or reblog this post with at least a short line saying what kind of content the blog features. I am more interested in stim toy content for reblogging here, as I have no interest myself in the visual side of stim blogging, but I also have a need to put together a list of safe visual stim blogs, since I keep getting asked about this and can never remember names to recommend. So I don’t mind if all sides of stim offer themselves as a resource, as long as you give me a line or two explaining what content you offer so I can categorise you appropriately for a future list post.

(If there are any safety concerns with regards content or anything you think someone happening across your blog needs to know, please add this, too!)

If you don’t wish to reply to or reblog this post, the inbox is open to anon asks. (Just please provide the same descriptive line or two!) I won’t reply to all these asks individually because a lack of spoons, but I’ll collate all these in a future resource post.

I’ll let this run for ten days (posted on January 27) before starting to compile the post, so you’ll have plenty of time to get your details to me, however you prefer to do so.

Blogs attached to indie stim toy stores are absolutely welcome to join in; just give me a line mentioning that you are a store so I can indicate this in the post. And if you’re autistic, I’ll add you to the Autistic Retailers Master Post, so mention this, too!

Thank you so much, everyone, for helping me in my search. I really hope we can together develop a good, updated resource!

[Image description: The front and back of a two armed fidget spinner with no visible bearings. It’s black and on the front has a silver switch and slider and on the back it has three gears and five buttons.]

Found this on Banggood for 11.29 USD. There’s no reviews and the product description doesn’t give much information other than how to spin it and what the four other features are, but it’s hard to pass up a stim toy with multiple ways to stim. I don’t think it’d spin very well; it looks poorly balanced, but it might be worth a try.
