So I recently started to buy old cubes because I wanted to see the difference between the new ones and the old ones. So I got this one which looked really square. Turning out of the box was super quiet, and with lube it basically is impossible to hear noise from the turning. The corner cutting on this cube is not good at all which you can expect, but for some reason I decided to buy 6 of these things since they are really easy to mod. I florine modded this to look like a modern speedcube and with some DNM it works really great.

This was my very first cube way back in the day. The turning is very slow and sluggish, and corner cutting is pretty bad. However, why do I keep going back to use this? It's a great practice cube. If I always practice on my GTS2 or my Valk, my turning gets very sloppy. and I overshoot and lock up. This cube helps me practice algorithms/solves in a restricted state and significantly improves my accuracy and my times when I go back to my main.

good it corner cuts 45 degrees after lube but the main issue is POPS MORE POPS and EVEN MORE POPS another things is it does not reverse corner cut

The worst cube i've ever gotten.... out of the box the stickers were all screwed up and half peeled, and the dull color shades makes me feel less worse about the poor shipment. Anyways, turning is a struggle and gives a terrible feeling on the slowness. My shengshou pops every 2 solves and is a complete pain....I do not recommend this cube whatsoever and you should not get it.

I got this cube with the intentions of florian modding it but after receiving this puzzle, I lost interest. This cube is very blocky and beveled and that causes a very awkward feeling during solves. This cube has terrible lock ups, and the fact that this cube almost always overshoots turns does not help.

After I started to "outgrow" my Rubik's brand, I was looking for a new cube. I watched a few reviews and decided to get this one. It was my first speedcube, and it that is what it is very good at being. It is smooth and quiet and for $7, it's an amazing cube for beginner speedcubers. It is also quite fast. Some things that set it back are, the fact that it doesn't have much corner cutting, sadly, and the colors are a bit dull (although this can be fixed easily, re-stickering would be annoying for new cubers). I would recommend this if your times are around a minute or more. Overall, this cube is really meant for beginners, so if you are, you should definitely try this cube, otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

Because It is best cube with no florian.

Out of the box this cube is DRY, I broke it in with about 200 solves, i tentioned it with a 1/4 turn to make it a tiny bit looser and that helped the corner cutting a lot, DON'T PUT MARU ON IT!!! It got so fast could barely get a sub 30 solve (i average 18) Over all i would reccomend this cube, i am thinking of doing the 64 point edge mod but i dont know, it has the potental for maby a O.H. main or something like that...

This cube is not so great out of the box, but after breaking it in and some lube and tension adjustment it made this cube good but not the best cube but its good.

Awful out of the box, with too much lube on the outside. The only tensions I found fast enough for my liking were incredibly loose. The stock stickers are bad quality and wore away easily. Saying that, I practically worshipped this cube as a beginner. If your turning speed is slow and you need a cheap, affordable cube to replace your Rubik's brand (or other low-quality beginner cube), I would buy this. The turning is good enough after a bit of breaking in. Now that I am more experienced, it seems like a piece of crap compared to my AoLong V2 (obviously), but it is perfect for a new cuber or speed cuber who isn't used to faster cubes. However, if you don't know how to setup your cube, it may not seem like a change in quality from any Rubik's brand or other store bought cube, depending on how it is out of the box.
