Review on Unleash Your Focus With PILPOC Fidget Pad - The Ultimate Stress-Reducing, Anxiety-Calming, ADHD-Combatting Toy by Christopher Shah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great design and feel, a little room for improvement.

The controller shape is great. I hold it lengthwise for the most part. This design makes it a little more discreet and less bulky than cube shape designs. Aside from the buttons, this has the best feel of any fidget cube I've used. The joystick is smooth and has great snap-back. Also has a little bit of vertical play, which almost feels like another button. Joystick press-in is something I've been wanting in fidget devices since the beginning. This doesn't exactly provide that functionality, but is another available action, which is nice. The flip-switch is pleasantly rigid and really snaps with purpose. Other fidget cubes always have a loose switch that gets pressed accidentally while messing with other parts. Thankfully not the case here.Rollers are very nice as well. Top one moves fluidly and has good resistance. Imagine rolling clay. Bottom two roll independently with a clicking action. The spring-loaded slide switch is something I haven't seen before. This is nice, but would have been better oriented the opposite direction to feel more like a trigger. As it is currently, there is no good way to grab it while in the left hand. The spring also doesn't feel quite right. The face buttons is where this fidget device needs the most improvement. The buttons are hard plastic. This matches the controller aesthetic but doesn't feel as nice as the soft rubber buttons on other cubes. The springs also feel flimsy here, and cause the buttons to wobble a little as they are pressed. This also makes the two clicking buttons feel and sound more like a pen, which may or may not be desirable for you. A small gripe here, but I wish the two clicking buttons were adjacent to each other, and same for non-clicking. This is just the standard design for all fidget devices though, so nothing out of the norm.This is nitpicky stuff though, mostly because they nailed the rest of the design. Overall, this is my favorite fidget device I've used, just a few design tweaks would make it perfect.

Pros
  • It is a perfect gift for anyone who needs help dealing with stress or anxiety, providing a unique and thoughtful present
Cons
  • It may not be an effective tool for those with severe anxiety or panic attacks
