Our Promise to You

All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you. Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.

Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop". This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces. This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts which come off can be reassembled by hand.

The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

Its decent

The skewb Lbl kit was used for my gan-enhanced skewb. Overall, it didn't change the skewb too much. This is the case because the skewb is already very stable and contains 32 magnets already. If you are going to purchase this kit, don't expect huge results. It's good, but the Gan Skewb is already great. The only problem now is that my skewb broke when I tried to insert the magnets. The orange centre cap broke off from the fall.

love the upgrade

very easy to install, took less than an hour to put these into 2 of my Gan enhanced Skewbs, using cheapo Dollar Tree superglue. for me it feels it added/accentuated the "Gan crunch" turn feel (akin to Gan 11 3x3) to the skewb.

Amazing!

This mod is awesome. I’m not a huge skewb solver myself, but this mod makes me want to practice more. It’s essentially the 20-magnet ball core of skewb. The installation was really easy and only took a few minutes (and then I had to wait for the glue to dry). It doesn’t make the magnets too strong either. It keeps them at a good strength; adding alignment, better turning, more stability, and an overall better experience. Definitely worth the buy if you have a GAN skewb.

Makes Your Skewb Faster Without Sacrificing Stability

I have this on the Enhanced UV on the settings tension 2(out of 4) and compression 4(out of 6). The lube setup is a typical Angstrom setup with Gravitas and Dignitas in the feet/torpedos and DMN-47.

The installation process is farily simple, it takes 15 minutes and another 15-20 minutes to dry. Despite having stronger magnets, this kit makes the cube faster, due to that it has more auto-alignment from the repelling edge and corner magnets. I find the extra auto-alginment makes me +2 less (well at least more noticable becuase +2ing on the GAN Skewb is almost always exactly half a turn away) and I don't have any issues with overturning. Overrall, there is not much to be said here, TheCubicle did a good job making the best skewb on the market even better.

One thing I wish for TheCubicle to do is to make their stickers opaque so I wouldn't see the GAN Logo underneath the UV version. But I guess that if people want to put the logo on non-white sides it would contradict my complaint.

Its alright

For me ir worked okay, it made the cube uneven on some sides where some sides felt like it had stronger magnets than others, but on the favorable sides the magnetic feel was really good.

Hi Teodor,

Thanks for your review! Installing this kit may cause the settings of your puzzle to change. I recommend checking them to make sure that they are the same. You should also make sure that you pushed the center inserts in all the way. If you didn't, that could cause uneven strength. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
