I originally bought this as an addition to my cube collection because it is an old, legendary cube. I use a variety of cubes when cubing, just for fun. And I've noticed the Valk was just, so nice. I dialed it in with some lubes and adjusted the tensions for more corner cutting, and oh boy, it was so good, I had to switch mains from the tengyun v1 to the valk. Even though it is 7 years old, it is still a great cube that I think can provide a similar performance to modern flagship cubes. Get this cube before it's out, I guarantee it'll be worth it!
