the turning is WAY too clicky to be a skewb..Also the pieces are realy sharp, their so sharp,they cut " me-chin

This cube immediately popped when I unboxed it it turns pretty good but way too much popping plz dont get it.

I think skewbs, unlike pyraminxes, don't need magnets to perform well. I own the wingy and used to have the Qiyi Qicheng A. As much as I like this skewb, I prefer both of these to the Meichen. The Meichen is not that good out of the box, but with breaking in improves dramatically. I have got multiple good singles on this cube, and algorithms perform very well. I think that this is a great backup main, especially since right now it is on sale for only $5. It is kind of slow, and not as stable as the wingy, and that coupled with the wingy having a concave design prevent the Meichen from being my main.

Overall, I think this skewb is very underrated, and most of these bad reviews come from people not setting it up right. However, if you are a fast skewb solver, I would suggest the Aoyan or Wingy as a main.

This skewb is amazing. it is sluggish but, it is quite controllable. It has the best corner cutting a skewb could have. I put one drop of SCS weight 2 on the pieces and It speed up a bit but, it still remained just as controllable as before. it take very little resistance to turn and flows nicely. It has not popped on me yet but, it might not pop at all. It feels sturdy and solid it has smooth turning and feel like it has high quality material. If I where you I would avoid putting to heavy of lube on it (weight 4-5) this might make it harder to turn. Overall this cube might be my main and can be yours too!!

This cube is amazing.The feeling is very scratchy and very fast.I got this at a competition,out of the box it was great.After around a couple months of use it got sluggish I lubed it with lubicle speedy and the cube sped right up.I would suggest this cube to anyone beginner or pro,this cube is my main over the moyu or qiyi.

Out of all the skewbs I have tried, this is definitely one of the best. I think the top two are this and the MoYu Magnetic, but I find the MoYu Magnetic is too clicky for me, resulting in this being my preferred skewb. Corner cutting is great, due to the very large florian holes, the speed is really good, not too fast but not too slow either, and it's also pretty smooth. One thing that's kind of weird is that with the placement of the logo, either green or blue is on top, and I'm normally used to red being on top, but that's not possible on this cube unless you take of the logo and put it back on again. It's extremely good, so if you like skewb, you should probably get this. It's great until it gets sand in it (that's a long story.)

So I heard a lot of mixed reviews about this, most saying that it's not that great of a cube. My main at the time was a moyu magnetic skewb, so I thought I would order the congs design for a backup main. Out of the box, this cube exceeded my expectations. At first it was a bit sandy, and pretty dry. As I started solving, this skewb began to break in incredibly well. The sandy, dry feeling went away, and the skewb was now incredibly smooth. I did notice one thing though, it was slow. But this was actually not a negative, but a positive. The fact that this skewb is a bit slow, it is extremely controllable. Sledgehammers, hedgeslammers, and finger tricks can be done incredibly well on this cube. The skewb feels very smooth and extremely controllable, and I love it. The corner cutting is great, cutting a whole piece, and reverse is about half a piece, which is outstanding. In conclusion, I am now debating over my main. I honestly don't know why this cube got such bad rep, for it performs very well, and may be my main over my moyu magnetic. Don't get me wrong, the moyu magnetic is amazing, but the congs designs skewb lives up the moyu magnetic skewbs standards. I did not need to tension or lube this cube, for it was already a very good cube, and I am extremely happy with this skewb. I would definetly recommend to anyone. This skewb is honestly, completely underrated.

I just put some marulube in it and it was amazing!!!

It is a great skewb but the moyu magnetic is also great.I still have not decided which is my main because I'm not that fast but I am improving.

No merit for this cube. Performance not good as QiYi, outdated positioning system, and colors are same as Magentic one.(Black, White, Stickerless) Now MeiChen has No merit. Got a magnetic one or QiYi, Not Meh-ichen. No 'fake' thing in this review.
