Choose an Infinity Cube If...

The Verdict
There's no wrong choice - it depends on how you fidget. Many people own both and use them in different situations.
For office/school: Infinity cube (more discreet, tactile satisfaction without looking)
For commuting/waiting: Fidget spinner (one-handed, visual entertainment)
Or Consider a Third Option...
If neither feels quite right, articulated toys offer endless posing and manipulation possibilities. They're one-handed, and the smooth joint movements are deeply satisfying.
