MX-01 Speed Cube Lubricant brings elite glide to your cube's plastic pieces. It's a fast, water-based lube with a soft turning feel, a little control and almost no drag.
Why you'll like it
Elite glide: Speed scores 7 out of 10, third in our lineup behind Stardust and Lunar.
Soft turning feel: Gummy scores 2. Gummy is the thick, slowed-down feel a heavier lube adds, and MX-01 adds very little, so turns feel soft without feeling heavy.
A bit of control: Control scores 3, so turns stay quick without feeling loose.
Retains moisture: Maintains a smooth turning feel.
Performance & design highlights
For the pieces, not the hardware: MX-01 is water-based. Keep it off screws and springs to avoid rust, and use a silicone lube there instead.
No chalky mess: It doesn't leave the chalky residue most water-based lubes do.
Re-apply every 2 to 3 days: Lasting scores 1, the shortest in our lineup.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How much should I use? A: Start with 3 drops and add more as needed. If you use too much and the cube feels slow or heavy, wipe off the excess.
Q: How often should I re-apply? A: Every 2 to 3 days for most cubers.
Q: Can I use it on springs and screws? A: No. Water on metal hardware can cause rust. Use a silicone lube like Lunar on the hardware.
