Nah, but I've thought about designing and making my own.

I don't own any fidget toys that are specifically designed as fidget toys (have been very tempted to get a fidget cube and one of those infinity cubes tho) but I do tend to have a smaller Transformers toy with me to fidget with as I mindlessly transform it back and forth. Sure, might seem more 'involved' than what most think of when someone says 'fidget toy' but like it works for me.

If I don't have a Transformers toy with me, I tend to just end up clicking my phone's stylus as a fidget thing. The top of my phone stylus has a bit that clicks in and out so you can pull it out and I'll just click it.

I have A LOT of stim toys. My favourite one at the moment is this ball that is filled with these orbeeze type things and that makes weird noises when I squeeze it. lmao

I also have these squishy gummy-textured little animal things. They're actually a collectible toy for kids, but they are super cute and I like the texture of them.

I also have these glow in the dark stretchy noodle things that are different colours.

Recently I've been using Core Slug from the Legacy line as my fidget Transformer.

ooh, I've seen that one! I hear the core class dinobots can be a hit or miss depending on the member, but if i recall correctly that's one of the good ones! They're usually too big but when I can I fidget with deluxe or voyager class ones like the new Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Cheetor or Legacy Scourge (yes both of those are voyagers, technically Scourge is a Leader but only because of the trailer but you get the point) can you tell that Transformers is one of my SIs lmao

My current favorite fidget it a metal mesh ring. It's smooth, goes from cold to warm, it can be smushed but not until it's flat, I freakin love rolling that thing in my hands, between my fingers. It is amazing.

Once years ago my kids didn't finish their craft at the library so I put the beads into my coat pocket and I haven't ever taken them out. I love having the beads in there. My niece borrowed my coat recently and was a bit perplexed.

Oh yeah, I like to sometimes fidget with bigger Transformers too. Like I have mostly been using Core Slug recently but I do like to sometimes use a bigger one if I want something more tactile, like I recently got Legacy Burn Out and I'll admit to sometimes using her a fidget toy.

I never got into those ones that most people seem to like. They're a little too engaging for me. It's hard for me to get my mind away from them. I prefer something simpler, like a rubber band I can stretch with my fingers, or one of those hair clips you bend to make it clamp, or a binder clip, or even just a ball of wax I can attempt to shape into a perfect cube as I'm talking to someone.

I got a pack of starry sky infinity cubes that were my companions while I got of a toxic workplace.
Infinity cube at Walmart

I have an infinity cube and a fidget spinner.

I also tend to like rolling spherical objects like marbles but I'm not sure that counts.
