"Tangle doesn't make alot of noise"
My tangle: allow me to sing you the song of my people.

[pinkmagicali]

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.

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.

Thinking puty: does not make a sound

Him: 4 stars

I think that the popularity thing really decreased a lot of things that had potential

[spagetd]

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.

Do a best fidget toy for school! (New one)

Who else remembers when fidget spinners were the thing

[VincentASMR]

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.

[izzyslife]

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

[donatas]

Gonna buy the figet keychain because its so simplistic and quet

[alexmartinez]

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.

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.

2020 goal: learn to solve a Rubics Cube :-) lol

Love the breakdown and graphics!! And the puppet!!!

[unicornofpeace]

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.

[DianaMirelly]

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)

00:01 a yes a butterfly knife to bring to the work totally normal

[hanna.h]
