Whether you're in the market for a basic fidget spinner or something a little more interesting, we've got you covered. Below are the best fidget spinners and cubes you can buy in the UK right now. They've all been tested so you know exactly what you're getting for your money.
Love My Fashions Captain America Shield Spinner
Price: £10 approx.
This is one of the most striking fidget spinners around, thanks to its Captain America shield design. It’s made from lightweight metal, with the design etched on both sides - on one it’s Cap’s traditional shield, on the other an alternate spiral design that proves rather hypnotic when it’s spinning. The central bearing feels loose in its setting but it still works well, spinning for just under three minutes.
Spreaze Copper Wheel Spinner
Price: £19 approx.
The simplistic design of the Spreaze Copper spinner may not appeal to everyone, but it’s definitely designed to run and run. It outlasted every spinner we tested, going for well over four minutes thanks to its ceramic bearing and textured wheel, which provides superior grip.
Freelove Russia UFO Tri-Spinner
Price: £17 approx.
This futuristic spinner is made from materials as advanced as its design, with a zinc titanium alloy chassis and silicon nitride ceramic bearing, which runs smooth and lasts longer than traditional steel bearings. A single spin keeps it going for well over three minutes, making it one of the best spinners on test.
KomVox Fidget Spinner Hand Toy
Price: £13 approx.
Made from aviation aluminium with a stainless steel bearing, the Komvox is certainly more striking to look at than many of its rivals. Performance is decent too - a single spin keeping the Komvox going for just under three minutes. It also comes with a carry case, plus there are three colourways to choose from.
YCDC Tri-spinner
Price: £9 approx.
Machined from metal, this spinner has a single central bearing plus three ball-bearing counterweights in each of its three arms, which make a satisfying noise when you move the spinner around while it’s rotating. It’s well made and looks smart, and goes for around 70 seconds with one spin.
B3 Blue Sky Fidget Dodecagon
Price: £15 approx.
This 12-sided fidget cube is packed with things to keep your fingers busy, with multiple buttons to press, rubber balls to squeeze, sliders to push and switches to flick. Measuring 6cm in diameter, it’s not the most compact cube, but the build quality is excellent, and is therefore reflected in the price.
Vivvalifestyle Fidget Pro Fidget Cube
Price: £10 approx.
Despite its diminutive size, this classic fidget cube has lots going on: five rubber buttons, a thumb stick, three rollers, a ball bearing, a circular spin pad and a finger switch that works with the most satisfying of clicks. Build quality is excellent and it’ll fit easily in your pocket.
Kearuie Six-Hands Spinner
Price: £11 approx.
Beautifully made from solid brass, this six-hand spinner is striking to look at and is satisfyingly weighty. It comes with a hard carry case, adding to the overall premium feel, and the quality continues through to the bearing itself - it has one the smoothest actions off all the spinners we tested, continuing for over three minutes with just one spin.
U-Miss Fidget Pad
Price: £11 approx.
This take on the fidget cube looks more like a game controller, but it has everything you could want to keep your fingers busy: a thumb stick, four face buttons, two rollers, a finger switch, thumb pad and a side clicker. Its ergonomic design means it’s more comfortable to hold than traditional cubes, but the two-colour design is a bit plain.
Elecjoy Finger Gyro
Price: £8 approx.
Don’t be fooled by the interesting gear design - the Elecjoy is just the same as any other spinner because while the connecting cogs can turn, they’re so stiff you can’t really doing anything with them. It doesn’t boast the best build quality either and the resin material feels cheap compared to metal rival, but the bearing works well, continuing for around three minutes on one spin.
Lesen Tri Hand Spinner
Price: £3 approx.
This one of the cheapest fidget spinners around and it’s easy to see why. Unlike other tri-spinners, there’s only a single bearing in the middle - the three around the outside look like bearings but they’re counterweights. The centre bearing doesn’t run particularly smoothly either, spinning for just over 40 seconds with a single push. On the plus side, while the plastic finish looks cheap, it durable.
