| − | | |
| − | * Joystick
| |
| − | * Rocker switch
| |
| − | * 5 buttons, some are clicky and some silent
| |
| − | * Spinning disk
| |
| − | * 3 rollers/gears & rotating shiny ball
| |
| − | * Oval shaped indent (does nothing)
| |

| − | [[File:China_fidget_cube_worn_joystick.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Worn joystick "bearing"]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The joystick is prone to get stuck pretty quickly. This may be due to wear and tear on the metal ball inside, which rubs against a another metal plate, causing a flat surface there on the ball. Applying some grease might or might not help.
| |
| − | * Build quality is hit-or-miss.
