I do very much so enjoy this cube. Love the curves, love the soft feel of the surface and love the feel of turning the layers.

My only real complaint is the center layer is much tighter than the outer layers. Out of the box one of the three center layers was extremely tight. It has taken many adjustments to get a tension I am content with. But the center layer consistently feels too tight, and loosening it more makes the outer layers too loose.

Despite that, I still find myself picking it up as often as other cubes.

Son says the SengSo 8x8 works great! A little tough starting, but loosened up after a while & after lubricant added. Don't expect to be able to use it for high speed competitions like a 3x3, as the inner rows & columns get stuck occasionally, just like ALL other 8x8s he's sampled from friends. Other than that, this is a great 8x8 for price & size! VERY HAPPY with the SengSo 8x8 and the SengSo 9x9 he just got. - These work BETTER than other, more expensive 8x8s & 9x9s he's used! Great products, they will pop out on you if you try to force them, but once you get used to it, it doesnt.

this cube is good because for one the box is amazing and yes the middle of the cube is bad but once you lube it, it's even better than before. I would not say this cube is good for solves but overall it is a great cube

SengSo Pillowed 8x8

I gave it 3 just because the middle is hard to turn otherwise super smooth. I recommend it.

I’ve adjusted tension every way but loose, and lubed every corner, and with every solve it still feels like it’s going to fall apart. I definitely recommend the Yishin Little Magic 8x8 over the Shang Shou any day of the week.

This is the most stable 8x8 I have purchased. That being said I only have 3 total different 8x8’s including this one. Breaks in a little after a couple of solves and starts to feel good afterwards. Totally worth buying if you are looking for a small nice fitting cube of this size.

This cube is extremely difficult to turn, even after adjusting the tension. Pieces lock up easily. This is the worst cube I've ever purchased. I'm literally going to put it out on the street for someone to take. Complete waste of money.

It has bad turning
