Description
Galaxy Speed Cube Lubricant V2 is our middle-ground lube: balanced speed, balanced control and a smooth feel. If you're not sure where to start, start here.
What's new in V2
We reformulated Galaxy for modern speed cubes and the way people solve on them now: faster turning and newer solving styles. Its stats are re-rated for the new formula, so they differ from the original. Reviews before October 2026 refer to the original formula.
Why you'll like it
- Nothing extreme: Speed 4, control 4, gummy 5. Every stat sits near the middle of our lineup.
- Lasts between applications: A lasting score of 6.
- A good base for mixing: Because it sits in the middle, a little Lunar makes it faster and a little Nebula adds control.
Performance & design highlights
- Made for cube plastic: Silicone-based, unlike household oils and sprays that can damage a cube.
- Smooth, not thick: Gummy 5 out of 10. Gummy is the thick, slowed-down feel a heavier lube adds; Galaxy has a moderate amount.
- Easy to apply: Add drops where the pieces touch and turn to spread it.

Highly-rated cube lubricant praised for creating a smooth, controllable, gummy feel. Customers said it "makes cubes feel buttery smooth" and provides "perfect balance between speed and control." Ideal for beginners and experienced cubers. Some noted it can slow cubes slightly and requires minimal application (2 drops recommended). A few found it too gummy/slow for their preference.
- The control and smooth feeling is amazing if you want speed and control. 100% try this lubricant.
- Galaxy keeps the speed while adding a smooth, plush feel. It's a great balanced lube.
- Love how it glides and makes my cube have a more comfortable feel, a lot less overturns!

Got this lube because I was curious and it was amazing making lockups go away. It makes the cube controlled and smooth. Only use a little like two drops because if you use too much it will slow down your cube a lot. Amazing lube overall.
I've tried out most of the SCS lubes and galaxy comes out too gummy and slow for me. If you like that in alube, it may work, but i prefer something on the lighter side of the spectrum.
Lunar has the perfect balance of speed but stays where i need it and lasts quite while.
The picture is my ranking of the SCS lubes from best on the left (Lunar) to my least favorite on the right (cosmos). I used them on a bunch of Little Magic cubes to do a lube comparison for this review.
I haven't found a use for galaxy except this comparison.
Good for bedroom
Great lubricant. Packaging was very easy to use and apply, and it distributed itself quickly into the cube
really good lube for control if you have a to fast cube really helps with control
I’m uneducated on lube, but this seems to do the trick. Used it in a few cubes and I like it
slows the cube down slightly and give it a more heavy, gummy feel.
Excellent
This is the way to go for getting a lubricant for the first time. The control and smooth feeling is amazing if you want speed and control. 100% try this lubricant.
pretty good, it helped my cube reduce spring noise when i put some in the core
I have galaxy, lunar, and martian as of writing this review, im planning to try others. lunar speeds up a cube a lot and keeps the cube smooth. martian has a gummy feeling and makes the cube slightly faster. Galaxy, though, keeps the speed of the cube while adding a smooth, plush feel. I love it. it's a great balanced lube to put in any cube, and you can add cosmos or lunar/stardust to make it faster. I run lunar and galaxy in my gan 356 air m (discontinued cube now but basically a lighter gan 356), and the galaxy gives it a wonderful plush feeling while the lunar speeds it up. in short, the galaxy lube lasts a while, is plushy and smooth, and does not gunk up the cube or slow it down.
Galaxy lubricant is a really good balance lubricant so it makes your cube the perfect balance between speed and control and I highly recommend it
I finally tried other Cosmic lubes. I picked Galaxy to add some gumminess and gotta say that just a tiny amount (2 drops) per cube was enough - it works really well, especially combined with SPC's Weight lube.
This lube is a nice balance of everything I wanted. Speed, Control, Gummy, all of it. Great lube I would definitely recommend if you just want your cube to feel great.
It worked perfectly with all my cubes, I love the purple color and the way it makes the cube feel. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that it is a bit expensive unless its on sale (although this is a problem for all lubes on the site)
this lube gives you a little of everything, perfect for your first lube
It in my skewb but not in my Gan 12
pretty fast with good control
if in doubt just buy this it is good for everthing.
It's the best.
The title says it all.
Great for those who prefer a gummier/heavier feel but not for me personally
This lubricant is very good for a fast or slow cube! The heaviness gives a contrast on a very fast cube, and the slow cube gives a phenomenal boost of speed! I definitely recommend this lubricant!
Very smooth, good for starter lube.
Love how it glides and makes my cube have a more comfortable feel a lot less overturns and mistakes!
Smooth, slow, controllable. Good lube, good price.
wow
Get your cubes and cube accessories here. No argument, no comparison, this is where you should be shopping. I've never had an easier and faster experience with any other company, even outside of cubes. No delays, no having to track down my orders, it's amazing. If you don't shop here, that's on you, but anything I need for my cubes from parts, to lubricants, even apparel and accessories, they got anything I could ever want. Shop elsewhere at your own peril. I would put Speed Cube Shop on the side of my race car if I could!
Great. Son loved it.
