The latest tech craze comes in the form of Fidget Spinners, which are fast becoming the favorite desk toys for people with restless hands. If you have caught yourself spinning ball pens, caps, books, or knives, this new tech toy is a better alternative for all those traditional and extreme materials. The form and style of these new spinners are currently charming office workers, students, kids, and even their parents.
What is this new fun cure for fidgety fingers? Just like the outdated stress balls, these tiny widgets can take your mind off life, and find something for your hands to keep busy on. The most popular brand of this gadget is a ninja star-like toy that you can perpetually spin between your fingers.
Designed to help people manifest their fidgeting tendencies in a more discreet manner, the Fidget Spinner comes in different forms and styles, which range from simple to extremely awesome such as the one laced with LED lights, creating a wonderful light show when the lights are turned off. According to Stuff, thousands of orders have been pouring in on Trade Me, resulting to Forbes labeling it as the "must have office toy for 2017". Logan Mudge, Trade Me spokesman, said that sales and searches of the widget had been "going mad".
Mr. Mudge added that nobody has heard of fidget cube and fidget spinners last year, but since the start of 2017, demand has dramatically spiked. He predicted that the craze would only get bigger as it had caught on not only to office workers but also to kids and their parents. According to Popular Mechanics, it's also incredible to see how a lot of spinners are being made using various materials, pushing these simple gadgets to the pricier part of the spectrum.
Take for example the Torqbar, which is a sturdy metal fidget spinner luxury that basically has no other use. This brass model starts at $140, while the stainless steel jumps up to $180, which is pretty expensive for a fidget device. If you want to join in on the craze, start small and simple; but just like with committed tech users, it's hard to resist expensive pieces of well-made widgets.
