Customers said this iconic puzzle is "great for beginners" with excellent durability and nostalgia, but noted it's "not for speedsolving." While praised as "the original" where "everyone starts," shoppers found turning stiff, corner-cutting poor, and price high. Many recommend it works better with lube, though most suggest modern speedcubes for faster solving.

  • This is the original. This is a nostalgic cube and everyone should have it 1000/10
  • Lubed, this puzzle is on the whole quite good. I like the clear colors.
  • This is a great cube. Good quality fast cube. Good corner cutting and speed.

Good Starter Cube!

Good cube to start off with, but it sometimes is hard to turn. Great to learn slow algorithms to start your 3x3 journey!

bad

The Original Rubik’s Cube 3x3 is honestly pretty disappointing compared to modern speed cubes. Right out of the box, the turning feels stiff, slow, and scratchy, which makes solving way less enjoyable. It locks up easily, corner cuts poorly, and sometimes even pops or misaligns during solves.

For beginners or anyone trying to learn speedcubing, it’s frustrating because it doesn’t behave like today’s smoother magnetic cubes. The stickers also wear down pretty quickly, and the overall feel just feels outdated compared to newer cubes that are faster, smoother, and more controllable.

If you’re just collecting it for nostalgia, it’s fine — but for actual solving or practice, there are way better cubes available for the same or even lower price.

Good rubik's cube for beginner

Pros:
Colors are clear on the cube
Works really well lubed
Cons:
Doesn’t do well with corner cutting
Pricey
Works best lubed

This cube seems pricey for its quality, so I’m going with 4 stars.

Great beginner cube

I like this cube a lot because I lubed it. So if you don’t have lube to put in it and you want something smooth, stay away from this.

Lubed, this puzzle is on the whole quite good. Corner cutting is so-so but you can easily go under 40 seconds with this. HIGHLY recommended for anyone who wants to learn. I like the clear colors.

not good enough

Decent cube but not good enough use a speedcube they are way better!Magnetic or not!

Amazing control and durability and somewhat satisfying turning, but slow.

The tiles and plastic(?) allow this cube to be thrown around as much as you'd like without damaging it, which completely prevents breaking it. It's by far the most durable cube, but the corner cutting only goes on line to line reverse, and a little bit under halfway forwards. This cube is great for a beginner, but terrible the second they try to learn any algorithms or finger tricks. It's also completely resistant to synthetic lubes. (Atleast when I used Lunar)

3/5 stars for durability and control but slow turning.

Wonderfull

People hate Rubik's. I love it. This is a great cube. All of these other cheap stickerless cubes say they are "speed cubes". Yeah, no. Those things feel and look so cheap. This is a good quality fast cube. And it is stickered! Even better! Good corner cutting and speed comepared to Jurnway cubes and other cheap things.

It's not a speedcube

It's not a speedcube because it isn't made to be one. If you want a speedcube buy just about any other 3x3 on the site, but if you want something that kids can mess around with and be rough with this is it.

The cube is not built for speed but it is where it all started so I cannot give it less than a 3 :)

Great for beginners

This is great for beginning your cubing journey and better than the original with better construction and no stickers to come off. Not good for speed solving unlike cubes like gan cubes which are made of speed solving and have magnets so unless you want to get a low time then not for competitions

At least you can't choke on it.

My mom got me this "real Rubiks cube" for Christmas and I learned how to solve it, and I thought it was great. Or at least, that it was good enough.

I had no idea just how bad it was at that time. The stickers can't peel off because there aren't any, which sounds good except that the drab colors are dull and offer low contrast which makes them difficult to tell apart under low light. There are no pieces to lose because you can't take it apart or adjust it at all. The cube feels heavy and the turning is slow. Because it features no corner-cutting, or magnets, or springs, or really *any customization at all*, this puzzle stopped being my main as soon as I got a second 3x3. I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

I would only recommend this cube for someone who has concerns about small parts, since this cube is solid and can not come apart. However, if you're not going to put the pieces in your mouth, you will be much happier with a Chinese brand instead, like MoYu or DaYan.

Lol

Not terrible unless speedsolving. I thought this was SPEEDCUBEshop though lol.

Ok first cube

I suck at not having rubik's cubes break upon use, so I can say that Rubik's brand can fit the bill, but it really is just okay. Its corner cutting is bad but possible, no magnets and quite expensive, but it never pops. Some lubricant can make this a four star for sure, but it's just not the best

Good, but not for speedsolving

We all know that the originals are bad at speedcubing, but it is VERY useful for other things such as challenges, collections, etc.
Overall bad for speedcubers, but it has SOME uses, I guess..

This is bad……

I mean this cube is bad at everything it’s bad at turning it’s bad at corner cutting and I don’t really like sticker cubes (that’s just my personal opinion) it’s garbage and the fact that it’s 10 dollars u could buy rs3m plus delivery with that price the only reason why I gave this garbage 2 stars bcuz it’s the original Rubik’s cube and we all started with this but people seeing this do not start with this cube u deserved a better one
