areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsers can move it in a circular motion, spin it or flick it according to their preferred movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis creates opportunities for repetitive thumb and finger manipulation while replicating an action familiar to many users of games controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRotating Disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the opposite side of the joystick is another circular component that can be rotated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA raised point provides additional grip, allowing the finger or thumb to move the disc around its circular path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe action differs from pressing or clicking and adds another form of continuous movement to the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFour

users with a choice between audible and more discreet tactile button pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quieter buttons may be preferable where unnecessary clicking would be distracting, while the click buttons provide additional auditory feedback when appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRocking Click Switch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the underside of the four buttons is a rocking switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMove it backwards and forwards and the mechanism produces another distinctive clicking action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rocker requires a different thumb or finger movement from the individual buttons, further increasing the variety available within the same fidget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTextured Sensory Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree rows of raised lines are positioned along one edge of the Fidget Controller Pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsers can repeatedly move their thumb or fingers across the ridges to explore the textured surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning a fingernail across the raised lines can also create an audible response, combining tactile and sound exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis provides a useful alternative when the user wants sensory feedback without manipulating one of the larger moving controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpring-Loaded Sliding Button\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA square button positioned along the edge provides a sliding

of resistance, movement and return action creates another distinctive fidgeting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Ribbed Rollers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo textured rollers can be turned individually or together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing one roller provides a straightforward repetitive finger movement, while attempting to manipulate both can introduce a more involved two-handed or multi-finger activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbed surfaces provide additional tactile feedback while the rollers turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmooth Spinning

ribbed rollers and raised sensory lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives users another option when they prefer a smoother repetitive movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTactile,
