Another item I picked up from Aliexpress recently (and strangely, it's ONLY available on Aliexpress, not on Temu) is the Xiaomi Mitu Fidget Cube. While they sometimes go as low as $1.00 USD, the usual price is $3 or so, which makes them a little overpriced when you can find a metal version for about $5 on Temu. These are supposed to come in a "blind bag" (i.e. random, could be metallic, ceramic, or just plain plastic in a couple different colorways) Personally, you would probably end up with the most numerous white/gray plastic version, which is why I said it's a bit overpriced if not on sale.
Anyway, my "cube" arrived UNASSEMBLED. It has no less than 8 small cubes, 8 cross-links, and 16 connecting rods, plus a double-length rod to help alignment in assembly. Fortunately, there are clear graphical instructions. Please study it CAREFULLY. If you assemble it wrong, you won't be able to get it to bend properly, and thus, won't be able to fidget with it. It took me a couple times to assemble it properly, mainly because I missed a few details on the assembly diagram.
This is someone else's video, but it's basically this, except I got a white and brown with white connectors, not blood orange connectors like the one in the picture.
At about $1 USD, this would be worth it. Try not to pay $3, okay?
