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.

Before the spark, I was using the YLM 7x7 m as my main, and averaging around 4:20 (nice) with a rare sub 4 now and again. However, after getting the spark and setting up with DNM, Qiyi lube, W5, and GAN magic lube, the first solve I did was a 3:35.34, which was a PB. I am hoping later in the future, I will be using this cube to become top 100 in the world. Pretty optimistic, but I believe in myself!
Wish me luck!
It’s been almost a year since I have in my possession the X-man Spark 7x7 I can conclude that one thing : it is monstrous.

| How does it turn (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ ? |
(First impression) This cube is super fluid, stable, smooth, speedy and never pop! no lockups occurred during my resolutions
(after one month) The cube turns even better after a lot of resolutions, it does his job well!
| The design ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ |
the color scheme does not displease me, even if I have a preference for those being brighter it is not disturbing for all
this cube also has another positive point : his size! it is not imposing as the other 7x7, it has the perfect size according to me, neither too small nor too big (in comparison we can see my YJ MGC 6x6)
| Final opinion ƪ(ړײ)ƪ |
I’ve had a lot of 7x7 like the YJ Yufu; MGC 7; Yuxin; Little Magic 7x7 or the Hays 7x7, and this one is the best I’ve tried, if you’re still hesitating honestly go for it! this cube is amazing..for me it's a must have. This is the most complete 7x7 I’ve ever had in 2021, I’ll sum it up in one word : INCREDIBLE
it's an instant buy!
Long life to the king! he deserves five stars ♪♪ ヽ(ˇ∀ˇ )ゞ !
Pro Tip : Do not forget to make some adjustments because it can you arrive some worries as some people in the reviews! (tightening etc..), a solving video is available below :)
Have a nice day!

This is a great cube but after about a month one of the centre pieces popped and it snapped while I was trying to remove it. I then bought another one, this time the pro shop version (I live in the UK so not cheap when you add postage). Again after about a month the same piece popped but this time stayed intact. I don't want to take the cube apart but I don't know how to get the piece back in! So I now have two useless spark 7x7's. I won't be getting another one. So unless your confident in taking a 7x7 apart and rebuilding I wouldn't recommend.
When I first bought my Hays7, I thought that it would be the best 7x7 on the market for a very long time. I was WRONG. When the Spark came out, I was like, "bruh," but when I got it I was like, speechless. The turning was as smooth as BUTTER and the cube is very stable! I did an avg of 12 on it and I was averaging about 30 seconds faster than my Hays7. Would recommend to ANYONE! Great puzzle!
Can't say too much except that it's a massive improvement in every way compared to the Moyu Aofu I used to use.
I own three 7x7's (yj yufu & mgc)
This is the Best by far..the smaller size, & lighter weight works for these old hands.
It really is a dream to solve.
I have zero issues, & no spring noise
This cube is amazing but there is a color deformity on one of the green pieces
I'm a huge 6x6 solver, never really got into 7x7 due to my medium-large hands not being able to comfortably use them for long sessions. The spark is smaller than older 6x6's and it feels incredible, like others say it feels like it could pop if you're not careful (i'm on looser tensions) but that hasn't happened yet.
It's a decent 7x7. However, it came way too tight out of the box. I could barely loosen the settings, like it was tightened by the strongest person in the world. I also gave this cube a chance, but couldn't get as good times as my MoYu Aofu. I was severely disappointed based on J Perm's praise of the cube. Think I'll stick with my MoYu.
If you cubers saw my review for the Hays 7, you know that it is my main. Just recently, cube manufacturers like QiYi and MoYu are trying to put down the Hays as the best 7x7. In this review, we are going to take a look at the X-Man Spark M. This cube is 1 mm smaller than the Hays7 which feels smaller in the hands and it is almost the same price as well. Out of the box, this cube impressed me by its very fast speed on all layers and it is very controllable. It does have one problem though, the cube is very oily on the surface which makes it hard for me to handle it. The problem can be fixed with some cleaning on the surface. The turning of this cube is similar to the Shadow 6x6, it has a fast, hollow, and smooth feeling with slight crispiness that QiYi puzzles are known for. The stability of this cube is top notch, I have experienced less catching and locking up than on the Hays7. Furthermore, no pops occurred. Due to the stability, my average dropped 5 seconds and my PB single, 3:30, which is 10 seconds faster than my previous single. To conclude, this cube has a fast and crispy turning with a moderate amount of flex to it. It can depend on personal preference whether you like the rigid feeling of the cube or not. This cube could be better than the Hays.
