I ordered this cube as a collection cube, so it wasn't too devastating when it broke right out of the box. It was extremely dry, sandy, scratchy, and slow. Reminded me of an old Rubik's brand I once got at a garage sale. The stickers were pretty cool, but two corner pieces broke within my first solve. I don't know exactly what happened, but the inside of the corner pieces popped out and refused to go back in. But what can you expect from a $4 cube? It feels very unstable, has no corner cutting, and is EXTREMELY dry. I would not recommend this to anyone as a speed cube, but it's OK as a collection cube, because of the stickers. You would probably be better off buying A Rubik's Brand 3x3. I hope you found this review helpful!

Well I got this cube not expecting much for it to be simply a collectors sort of cube but I found a very nice speed cube... it certainly felt very sandy out of the box and reminded me of the mf3s which was sandy until I lubed it. This probably will not be my main or anything but would still be fun to play with. I would recommend this to anyone who isn't looking for a main and just wants a fun cube. I didn't want to spend to much effort setting this up so I just applied some maru and weight 3 to the pieces but only a bit, then broke it in a bit.

This is what you'd expect out of a Z cube puzzle. The colored carbon stickers are incredible. Easily the best looking stickers I have ever seen. Wish you could buy them separate. The cool factor alone makes this a must buy. Very tight and dry out of the box, but once it was tensioned and lubed, it's a very fast puzzle.

I received this puzzle and it turned outstandingly out of the box. It did feel a little dry so I added a couple drops of Maru lube and it turns better than my Moyu puzzles. It feels like a cheaper puzzle but performs amazingly. Didn't think it would work as well as it does. Corner cutting is outstanding, and the carbon fiber stickers look and feel really cool. Rated 4 stars instead of 5 because it does feel like a cheap puzzle.
