Reviews

Good cube, bad lube service

Cube is awesome. I paid for supernova lube service, and it was a bad idea. I am not sure if the lube service is supposed to be only for 3x3s, but for this 5x5, it is as though they dumped half a bottle of supernova into the cube. The plastic wrap and outside of the cube was soaked in lube. I had to disassemble, clean, and reapply lube, as the massive quantity made the cube unmanageable to handle and extremely slow. Once I undid the lube job that SCS did, and reapplied lube properly, the x-man Hong is awesome!

Greattttttttttttt

this was my first 5x5 and i am pretty much addicted to it

Buy it.

Great 5 x 5. I have not been able to put it down. Seriously great feel of the cube. Only thing I would ask for is stronger magnets in the outer layer but that's preference. Corner cutting is great, shades are awesome. My hands are normally tired after 10 solves on the Valk 5. Have solved 50+ times today.

Probably the best 5x5

I ordered this 5x5 a while ago because I was missing a 5x5 in my collection, so I ordered this one specifically because it captured my attention. Out of the box, this puzzle is a bit dry (at least for me it was), so I recommend setting it up or at least applying lube to it so that it becomes smoother and have a more enjoyable feeling. It doesn't have any adjustment system (well, it has a **** and spring mechanism
but who counts that), but I personally think the factory adjustments are perfect. As for the magnets, they are moderate-strong, and there is a ball-core but I don't really feel it that well (then again, maybe because this is my first 5x5). It doesn't have an excessive amount of accessories, only a screwdriver, a cleaning cloth, a pamphlet, and a cube collector card (I think that's what it is). Overall, this 5x5 is definitely a go-to option whether as your first 5x5, or as an upgrade, as long as you don't mind the price (which is worth it only if you know you will use this cube a lot).

Pretty good

Allot better than the mgc, but not as good as the gan, i would recommend if you are on a tight budget. This made me want to practice more and improve.
