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

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!

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.

I bought this cube to replace my lost/stolen ZhanChi, which I will use as a model for comparison. First off, this cube is FAST. Although I greased it up with a little squirt of silicon lubricant shortly after I got it, this thing was fast out of the box. Maybe even too fast, because I've had to make my finger actions more precise and deliberate so I don't over-spin. It does have allow a good amount of cutting tolerance, so if you don't rotate out more than 30 degrees too far, you'll be able to cut into where you need to be without too much effort. It's also very light, if that's something you prefer. That being said, the quality and feel is not up to the Rubik's or ZhanChi standards. The cube feels a little hollow, and doesn't make a very satisfying clicking-snapping sound. While it moves extremely fast, the movements don't feel as smooth, fluid and precise as the ZhanChi. I'm also not a fan of the stickers. You may find your fingers catching ever so slightly on the sticker edges, and in my opinion, the black sticker edges inside the white cubelets look a little cheap and tacky. Moreover, in less than bright lighting conditions, it's quite difficult to tell the reds apart from oranges, and the same for blues and greens, which can be annoying, as you don't always have control over the lighting in your environment. Overall, it's a great cube at a great price, but I would not recommend it over the ZhanChi, unless you're purely interested in speed.
