I just got this cube for Christmas and I quite like it.
The packaging and box are pretty good quality.
The auto alignment is very nice. It makes it pretty easy to turn, but it doesn’t feel like it’s doing the turn for you.
My only complaint is that the loosest settings are a little too tight, and the max magnet strength is a little too weak. I find the max magnet strength perfect, but if I wanted it stronger I wouldn’t be able to because it’s at max. Same with the tension settings.
And the hand tightening gimmick is kind of silly because the Centre caps clip on, which makes it really hard to get them off without the little tool.
So you why would you need to have the hand tightening mechanism when you need the tool to take of the centre caps. That’s just my opinion.
Other than that this cube is perfect for my turning style. I have a a strong and forceful turning style. So I tend to like controllable and stable cubes with strong magnets. And this is definitely an upgrade from the ys3m which I loved.
I’ve been doing 2 to 3 hour sessions and my hands are fine. The auto alignment was a little weird at first, but now I’ve come to really like it.
I have my cube set to 1 for elasticity, and 3 for tension. For lube I did a Combination of galaxy lube and lunar lube.
Would I recommend this cube?
Depends
If it happens to go on sale for less than $70, it would be worth it.
If you’re on a budget, I would recommend the ys3m Ball core maglev.
At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference.
I love this cube so much because it fits my turning style so well. It might not appeal to someone who has a light gentle turning style, because it was made to be a controlable and stable cube.
I hope to see more cubes like this in the future. 9/10
TBH I am not going to rate the ootb experience, but the final setup one, cause that is what most people are going to use( I also had this cube for a week now( and I usually average around 11 seconds with my normal ys3m ))
the first bad thing I am facing with this cube is IT IS TOO TIGHT, like I am putting this on the loosest tensions and it is too tight, to the point that I perform better on the rs3m 2020 and 2021 BETTER than this. ( I will add a pic to this btw)
the second bad thing is the core magnets are super weak, even on the strongest setting, though the edge magnets are ok
the third and one of the most important problems is
THIS CUBE IS TOO HEAVY, MA HANDS GET TIRED EASILY,
to the point that I have to switch back to my older ys3m or rs3m for a better weight or hand stress.
fourth bad thing is the momentum of the m slice turns make the u, z and h perms overshoot too much ( don't think about using roux )
the first good thing is that the cube is pretty quiet
the second good thing that is , this cube has good feeling on the inside
the third good thing is that it never pops ( because it is super tight on the loosest setting lol)
overall I don't think this is worth getting ( I am not talking about the price) just because the performance is bad, I mean way bad, get some other cube, ( waiting for the super weilong v2 btw)
I haven't tried this cube but I have seen reviews on it and it seems quite good. I will probably be buying it when available
