- Welcome back to what's inside.
I'm Lincoln, this is Dan, and today, we have a fidget cube.
- Fidget Cube, what's a Fidget Cube Lincoln?
- I don't know.
I think you just push buttons?
- [Dan] Push buttons?
This has been one of the most requested videos
over the last month.
So this is for somebody who likes to fidget.
So it's a very good name.
What does fidgeting mean?
It's like you take a pencil and you always are
rolling it in your hand.
You take a piece of paper and you fold it up in your hand.
And you're always playing with it.
You probably know people like that, maybe you are like that?
At times, I'm like that and...
- I like holding a penny and just like,
moving it around in my hands.
- Yeah, so you like to fidget, that's good.
- Last year, this came out as a kick start
and it was one of the most successful kick starters.
It raise 6.5 million dollars.
The problem is, they had a bottle neck in their
manufacturing and there's a guy, they named Jack.
I don't really know his name.
He makes a living off of finding things that are
popular on kick starter, and then he goes and hurries
and makes them within like three or four days,
he had a company in China make some of these,
and he was selling 100 a day.
He's made 350,000 dollars off of selling
knock off fidget cubes.
I hope you like the history of that,
I thought it was super interesting.
And so what the heck is it?
Let's take a look at it.
It has a nice plastic case around it.
This is the black, with the green knobs.
- [Lincoln] Woo, look at that.
- [Dan] Fancy, woo, there's the top.
- [Lincoln] Fire, that was fun.
- [Dan] Three of them are supposed to click,
like a pen and two of them are silent.
Oh, that one doesn't.
So those two don't click, but the other one's
_ [Lincoln] Those three. - [Dan] ...click like a pen.
- [Dan] This one just has a little mark,
it looks like a finger print mark.
It's like a soothing stone, so you can put your thumb
on their and it just feels relaxing and nice.
- [Lincoln] I just like going like this
and scratching it for some reason.
I just want to scratch it, it's weird.
- [Dan] This one, you just can spin that around, okay.
- [Lincoln] And the little joystick.
- [Dan] Okay, a little joystick, what's the next one?
- [Lincoln] A switch.
- [Dan] A switch.
Do you like pushing switches, you can just switch it
back and forth, back and forth.
- [Lincoln] It's the rolling ball.
- [Dan] Okay, so that ball rolls, it's metal.
And then what do those switches do, you just spin them?
A combination lock almost.
Overall, what do you think, after holding
just for the first time?
Do you feel like it's something you would like to hold,
while you're sitting in class, or something?
- This feels like something that,
I don't know why, but when I hold this,
I just want to throw it for some reason.
Like it feels like something that fits in my hand perfectly,
that I could just throw it so far.
- [Dan] Okay.
- That's what I think.
I don't know why, I really do like this.
- It's nice.
If you know somebody that fidgets,
we're gonna put a link in the description
where you can get these, where you got them off of amazon.
I do like it.
- I know.
- What the down side is to it,
you can't really put it in your pocket.
I can see people losing these very easily.
Fidget Cubes are pretty cool.
Lincoln one of them has to die for science and for you guys.
Which one, which one?
- Uh, let's do the blue one.
- The white and blue, "the what's" inside version
colors, really?
- Yeah.
- Okay, what's inside colors.
And the big guns now.
This is going to hold the fidget cube,
while we take this knife and take it right down in it.
This is like surgery here.
- [Lincoln] Oh, look at that.
- [Dan] It's starting to pop off,
I wonder if we just go around and undo it.
Yeah, look at that.
- [Lincoln] Oh wow.
- Whoa. - Whoa.
- [Dan] The ball just came out.
Wow, did you see that?
The ball just rolled away.
- [Lincoln] I thought that that was a magnet.
Is that a magnet?
- [Dan] Is it?
- [Lincoln] No, it's not a magnet.
- [Dan] It's just metal to keep it on their?
Look at this, these little spools have this metal rod
that go along it, and that's how you spin it.
Weee, and then they all just came off.
Let's put the ball back in here, look at the back of it.
This, here's, oh...
- [Lincoln] There it goes.
- [Dan] There goes the buttons.
So here's your buttons that go on the other side.
- [Lincoln] That looks cool though.
- [Dan] That does look cool.
Oh right there, there it is.
- [Lincoln] Those are the buttons.
- [Dan] So there you go, you can see the buttons.
- [Lincoln] You can just tell that this one
makes that clicking noise, when you tap into it,
and these one's just push down with nothing below it.
- [Dan] Yup, there's the three buttons right there.
That's some very strong plastic right there.
- [Lincoln] Oh, you're doing that (mumbles) now.
That's gonna break something.
(screaming)
Okay, this is the metal piece that fell out of right here.
If I can get it in there.
- [Dan] So that's the one that was like the weight,
it was under the finger stone thing.
Okay, so right where you rub your finger
is metal...
- [Lincoln] This is where you rub your finger, right there.
(loud knocking)
- [Dan] Yes, finally.
Okay, here's your spinney...
Here's your spinney part right here,
see how it spins on that side?
- [Lincoln] Just some gears,
- [Lincoln] as simple as that. - [Dan] That's pretty much it.
- [Dan] Yup, there's the other side of it,
just spinning around.
It's still not telling us much.
- [Lincoln] Just that it switches.
- [Dan] Oh, okay, just popped that right out.
It just goes right in there like that,
and you can just take it right out.
Here is your little button that you can spin
and push and it was connected to this
ball on the bottom.
So that ball kept it in there,
so you could push it in...
I like this toy, if you find somebody that you think
needs this, not a bad gift.
- Not that metal ball, this.
- This, yeah.
So thank you guys for all your comments to say,
"cut open a Fidget Cube."
We wouldn't have known about it unless you guys commented,
so keep your comments coming, keep your suggestions coming
because it's fun to just do some videos like this
where we get to find something cool.
A cool new product and take it apart and see how it works.
That's what's inside a Fidget Cube.
- There it goes, I almost caught it,
I was off like by an inch.
- Oh, just missed it.
- Just barely.
