If you can't get the original fidget cube, this is the one you want.
This is the best substitute available for a genuine fidget cube that I've found. All the details are as close as possible to the original design - There are 3 clicky and 2 silent buttons on the 'Click' side and the ball on the 'Roll' side rolls smoothly and also clicks when pressed which are the two things that always seem to be missing on the other fidget cubes I've tried.There are two very minor differences that I've noticed. First is that on the 'Flip' side of the original fidget cube the switch can rest in a flat position whereas on the Highline cube it can only be switched between two positions. Personally this doesn't bother me, the main thing is that the switch works really nicely and can be either rocked back and forth gently and silently or clicked loudly just like the original fidget cube The other difference is that the little gears on the 'Roll' side move completely freely with no resistance whereas I've been told that on a genuine fidget cube they have a slight click which is pretty much silent. I would prefer if they'd managed to get that one right but as I say it's a minor detail. However, if you're looking for the genuine fidget cube experience those are the two things that aren't quite the same and you may have to wait for the real thing to be more readily available here in the UK.Highline are also really helpful with any problems, I initially had a problem with the 'Spin' side not working properly and they sent me a free replacement without any hassle.As for my review of fidget cubes in general I think they're brilliant. I prefer them to other fidget toys as a distraction from anxiety or just as a means to help maintain focus, mainly because they're a lot more subtle and quiet than other fidget toys - you can quite easily hold this in your hand and fiddle with the silent buttons etc. without anyone noticing which I think is a big plus if you're using it to ease anxiety.A lot of cheap fidget cubes don't actually have all the silent buttons and are much noisier which is what makes the Highline cube so great. It also feels nice to hold and doesn't feel cheap like other fidget cube clones. The plastic on the cube itself is solid but feels smooth to touch, someone else described it as fuzzy like the outside of a peach which I think is exactly right. All the buttons that are supposed to click make a satisfying noise and feel sturdy, whereas on other fidget cubes they often feel like they're going to break every time you click them, and on the 'Click' side the buttons are soft rubber instead of hard plastic (the non-silent ones still make a nice clicking sound though). I'm fairly certain this is the same on the original cube although I couldn't confirm that. Personally I prefer it to the hard plastic on the other clones I've used though.Overall, while the genuine fidget cubes are still very difficult to get here in the UK without spending a lot on shipping (which would probably also mean paying VAT and handling fees), this is definitely the best fidget cube available and at a reasonable price considering the RRP of the original fidget cube is about £16.

High quality and well made
I got two cubes from two different sellers, this is probably my favourite one, everything has a nice, smooth glide to it while also having some resistance so it feels nice and secure, everything feels very well made, the material used doesn't feel cheap and is a nice quality, the texture of everything is very smooth, it fits nicely in one hand that you can comfortable still play with, the print is really pretty and the colours are nice and vibrant, it has a nice weight to it, it is all in all a very nice product that was delivered very fast. The company seem friendly and like they wish to improve their product with recommendations, and it's really helped calm my anxiety when in public and just keeps my hand busy while sitting at my PC so I'm not biting them!My only minor critique is, and i haven't filed a complaint about this as it really is absolutely no bother, but on the spinning disk there's just a TINY section where I'm guessing it's rubbing on something as it suddenly gets a little rough and is slightly stiffer to move, but it's only if I'm pressing on the bump in the disk, so it's easily avoidable and doesn't get in the way of the product or enjoyment of it in any way! So I'd definitely recommend this product :)

EASY FIX FOR ANALOGUE STICK - Product is decent
Before the review, If your analogue stick started jamming after only an hour of use, an easy fix is: You can gently slide the thumb pad off, and put a small amount of WD40 into the analogue stick hole. Start moving it around and it will regain it's snappiness. My WD40 came with a thin applicator that made this easy, you could put some WD40 on a paperclip or straw to help get it into the hole though if you don't have this.Actual review: When it first arrived I noticed a few scuff marks on the surface, but I wasn't too bothered by that. It all worked really well, I liked the feel of the plastic exterior and I was very satisfied. However, quite quickly, I'd say within 1 hour, the analogue stick started jamming, and no longer snapped back to its neutral position. I was going to return, but found a fix for this online, which I wrote above this review. Overall I am pleased with this product, although I wish the rotary dials had a clicking function more like a briefcase with a code dial, they don't feel very satisfying to spin.

Not Durable!
The highline fidget cube is an iffy product. The things I admired about the highline fidget cube is the prominent matte finish. There are many things you can do with this product such as spinning, clicking, rolling and gliding. The aspect that makes this fidget cube even better is the fact that there is no limit to doing anything you do (it can go on forever). One problem I had with this item was the durability. I bought it for my son and it was working fine for about two weeks before the joystick fell off. It wasn’t even a matter of me pulling it or damaging it in any way, it just was becoming loose and eventually fell off. Aside from the durability issues, this product was very stress relieving and fun to play with. If this was cheaper I would recommend it but I genuinely don’t think it is worth the price it is up for at the moment (£11.99).
