The Z Metal Cube is a bit larger than the GuoGuan YueXiao, a "lot heavier" than any 3x3x3 I have ever owned and an overall amazing cube!... and here is why. 1- Turning: Out of the box this cube turns incredible. I honestly would have never guessed that a cube made with an outer metal element could turn with such fluidity. With just one flick of the finger you can get a 180 degree rotation. The turning on this cube reminds me of the Lan Lan 4x4x4; in which the rotations are effortlessly fast and responsive to finger flicks. There is no major catching of the cubie's whatsoever and absolutely no lockups, no corner twists or no popping; in which I think would be nearly impossible in all three aspects. The feeling and sound of solving this puzzle are crispy, crunchy and a fast sliding metal "clicky" noise. 2- Corner cutting: The corner cutting is what is to be expected from a twisty puzzle with a metal outer shelled surface. It is roughly 1/8 of an inch clockwise corner cutting and the same counter-clockwise.*Note that I solved the Z Metal Cube with finger tricks and another with old school hand turns; it was very enjoyable and effortless in both solves. 3- Workmanship: The Z Metal Cube is so much better than I expected in overall quality and material choice. All three layers are full cubie's; meaning they are not uncapped to save on the metal quantity. The cubie edge's are very smooth to the touch, with not a sharp edge in feel or sight; nor any unleveled metal on the entire perimeter of the cube. The stickers are the standard Rubik's color scheme; (W,L-R,O-B,G). They are applied nicely and seem to be of pretty good quality. At first glance there appears to be bubbles under some of the stickers; though I think that they are not bubbles at all; but simply the face of the metal underneath the stickers is revealing it's texture. On a fun note* After solving the Z Metal Cube; I then picked up my GuoGuan YueXiao Cube and it totally felt like I just came out of a Rubik's Cube weight lifting gym.

SPECS: Fast Turning, Finger-Trick-Able, Old School Turn-Able, No Popping Or Lock-Ups, Awesome Workmanship, Totally Collectable and "HEAVY!" (Which Makes The Z Metal Cube So Very Unique And So Very Cool.) *A nice blue draw string bag is included.

this cube is not what you think it turns really fast BUT the lock ups are through the roof. it literately has no corner cutting and its so expensive but over all its a cool and heavy cube to have for collection purposes.
