This is my first and only 5x5. It is the best budget 5x5 NO doubt. The turning is nice and smooth and crispy. The inner layers have a really nice bumpy feeling which I find satisfying. And don't even get me started on the shades. They are probably the best stickerless shades in the world no joke. The only problems I have with it is that it gets lock-ups from time to time, and those lock-ups turn into center piece pops very quickly.But it is very easy to pop the pieces back in. I would recommend this to beginner-intermediate solvers. 10/10

Ootb was really tight and difficult to turn. But after some loosening and some weight 5 everywhere, it was super nice and smooth. If you don't plan on lubing and tensioning it, I don't recommend it. I'm not a very fast cuber so I didn't have trouble with lock-ups while solving, but it would happen when I was messing around with the cube or scrambling. For $8.99 it's pretty amazing (with setup).

I got this cube back in 2020 or so, with my Chinese New Year money. Out of the box, it felt good for a 5x5 that was 10$. Albeit barely any corner cutting after the first layers, it turned quite fast, though a bit scratchy (expected with no lubricant). It was my main until the core broke from overuse and misplacement from my siblings (without my knowing). It snapped in half and it popped. I got the YG MGC 5x5 on Christmas of 2021.

If you're looking for a budget 5x5 and want to get into cubes after the 3x3, go for the YuXin Cloud.

Great cube. It’s smaller than I expected, but in a good way. Needed some lube and minor tension adjustments out of the box, but once you get it dialed in, it’s as good as most other 5x5’s you can get.

I think that this cube is good for starting 5x5 but after a while it becomes difficult to turn and not pleasing to use. It locked up on almost all turns but it you want a cheap 5x5, go for it.

For the price absolutely phenomenal, the turning could use a little improvement, but as my first 5x5 the performance for price is great

So about a year ago I was starting to get into cubing I was averaging 45 on 3x3 and 2:20 on 4x4. I wanted to get a 5x5. But a cheap one. I saw this was only 8 dollars. So I bought it. It is really fast and has no reverse cornercutting. Locks up way to much and pops. If you want a better 5x5 the same company has the little magic for about 13 I think and the little magic m for 18 I belive. So if you want to start 5x5 do not get it.

Oh my god the cube was just horrifying out of box it was soo tight couldnt even turn so i dont at all

smooth, sandy feel. corner cutting is eh but what do you expect from a big cube. i like the stickerless shades, removable logo sticker.

The Yuxin Cloud 5 by 5 is perfect for beginners. It is by no means a high level speed cube but it is perfect for anyone who wants to learn 5 by 5 and wants a decent turning speed cube. It is sturdy and the turning is ok but not great. So, I recommend this cube to beginners maybe intermediate cubers. It is a good cube to start learning 5 by 5.
