Black Based Sticker on Primary Body 3x3x3 New Fangshi Funs Speed Cube Puzzle, 5.46cm

Awesome cube! I just received it today, so I haven't "broken" the cube in, but oh wells. Excellent first impressions. Stock out of the box, it was factory-lubricated with a pretty high viscosity lube. It had a scratchy feel to the cube, very loose (But surprisingly impossible to pop when solving, just jiggly). So as a casual cuber, i lubed it with Team Associated 40 Weight Lube (Highly recommend it, high volume for a very low cost) and it was wonderful, BTW I used CrazyBadCuber's "Fangshi ShuangRen Assembly" Video. It still retains its scratchy feel, I mean it's not annoying, but without it, I'm pretty sure it would be a bit better. It sometimes overshoots, resulting in lockups, but you can solve that by tensioning the cube more. The cube can corner cut to about 45 degrees regular and around half a cubie on reverse, so excellent and when it can't corner cut, it NEVER pops, unless you force it with ALOT of force. The mechanism was cool to work around with when i assembled and disassembled it, but when you take the edge caps off, I had problems. But it's just probably my cube, several of the caps' prongs fell off that would ordinarily attach to the body of the piece. I put a mail-opener tool and pushed it out of the hole in the edge body. But that means it was a tight fit, so if you're not doing anything to it, like modding, it shouldn't be a problem, but if you are, just be careful. That's not really a con. This is my first FUNs puzzle, and I highly recommend it. It has a nice feeling and is very fast.

I ordered this cube just because the picture on Amazon makes it look pretty cool. It doesn't look as good in person as it does in the picture. It has a 'cheap' sort of look to it. And at first touch it feels cheap too. It is also very light and the corners twist quite easily. My initial impression was that this is a cheap toy.However, after playing around with it for awhile, I have to admit that I really like this cube. It is super fast and one easy flick will get you a 180 degree turn which improves my solve time a lot. The corner cutting is excellent as well with around a 45 degree reverse cut and a little more than that for a forward cut. I didn't have to lube it at all and the tension it came as is a perfect fit for me. Not too tight and not too loose. It took me awhile to adjust to the weight of the cube though. It is almost weightless, a very light cube. But once I got the hang of it that didn't bother me anymore.So in spite of the fact that it looks and feels like a cheap toy, it is actually a great cube and really good for practicing speed solving. I gave it 5 stars because it is a lot more fun to solve than I thought it would be. I will recommend it.

Phenomenal! The turning is amazing, and I absolutely love the fast and scratchy feel of the puzzle. If you are used to stickerless cubes like I am, then the recognition of the somewhat dull sticker shades might be difficult. On my stickerless mini Aolong, I get averages of around 17-18 seconds, and on this, I only get 27-28 seconds. However, I have no doubt that if I get used to the colors and the ridiculously fast turning speeds, I would be able to get down to at least a 15 second average in a few weeks. The black piece caps on the primary plastic body look amazing, and the stickers are not as bad as I thought they would be. Maybe its just me, but the stickers on my cube are quite substantial and are holding up well. If you have a heavy lubricant, such as Lubix or Traxxas 50k, don't lube the pieces, only lube the core. It is very hard to not overlube the pieces, and a bit of lube in the core is enough to speed it up. Additionally, I am making this my main instead of the mini Aolong. Although this corner cuts less by about 10 to 20 degrees in either direction, I feel that the faster turning and phenomenal feeling of the cube make up for it, not to mention that this does not pop on tight to moderate tensions and rarely does on loose tensions. My Shuang Ren is on quite tight tensions, with only around 4-5 millimeters of leeway per center piece. It is still insanely fast, and so far, I am LOVING the cube. This blows any cube I've tried out of the water, be it a Zhanchi, Guhong, Weilong, or Aolong. It completely deserves 5 stars!

OK, so the 'small' part is my fault, I accidentally bought the 5.46 instead of the 5.7 cm. Its just slightly smaller than the regular rubik's cube. For someone with small hands this would be good.Its very loose, which is great for cutting corners, but makes lining up a side difficult for the next move. If you are fast (kind of the point of a speedcube), then its easy to overshoot the alignment and accidentally perform a turn you weren't intending.Perhaps with practice on this cube I would be able to control it better. During a long algorithm, its easy to lose track of where you are because the cube is twisting in ways you don't want. I've had to re-solve the entire cube from the beginning multiple times because the puzzle becomes unstable in your hands when you are turning fast. Some might like this looseness and I only took one star off as it is good quality and the price is right. Perhaps there is a way to tighten it up, I'll look into that.I think I will likely give this one to a kid. They'll love it. Seems hard to pop btw, despite the looseness.

I took this apart and put N50 magnets in it, and re-stickered it. Now it's great. I think N42 magnets would have been strong enough. It's an old cube that i bought for a collection, it's not comparable with the latest speed cubes. But saying that, with the magnets it's so much better than without them. The cube came with imperfections, some dents on the white / clear plastic. Out of the box this affected middle slices and would scrape my fingers before i smoothed this off. The default stickers are thin but were neatly stuck on. I included a pic of how it arrived before i changed anything. It's a nice old cube and a must for a collection.

The cube is awesome but colors are little faded

It's very amazing cube . It is better than my dayan 5zanchi
