Been using this as my main for how long has it been, a month? It's overall pretty good after setup. I don't practice often, so this is fine for when I want to compete once in a blue moon. It's probably not as good as the Qiyi, but there is no way I'm going to spend $30 on a cube that I don't think should even be in the WCA.

Alright. TL:DR, this thing is awful.
Scrambling one of these at comps is a huge dread, and dare I even say, some are about as bad as some LingAos I’ve had to scramble (if not worse)—and that’s saying quite a bit.
There have been multiple instances over the years where I’ve had to let someone else borrow my own QiYi to use instead of their ShengShou which is borderline not competition legal.

DNF Denniel has even made videos the last 3 years on January 27th—which for whatever reason is “National Punch a Clock Day”—to show how bad it is.
I don’t even have my ShengShou Clock anymore. I destroyed it with a hammer out of frustration around a year and a half ago.

I know this sounds like I’m being really harsh, but if you’ve tried the QiYi even once, you’ll understand why I’m talking so poorly about it.

Long story short, it doesn’t matter if you’re tight on money—this doesn’t deserve any of it. Save your money and go buy a QiYi.
You can thank me later.

So I bought this cube, because 30 dollars is a lot for a clock. I’ts been a week, and i average like exactly 20, which is pretty good. The thing is I got used to it and then I tried my friend’s qiyi and it made me realize how terribly slow this one is. A 3 on this is equivalent to a 9 in the amount of force on a qiyi. I would be averaging 12 right now with a qiyi. So unless you absolutely can’t afford it, get a qiyi.

I personally love it!!!!! It is a great starter cube for beginners. I started cubing 3 years ago when I was 8. the magnets feel like you touch it and they go. sometimes that can get annoying but rarely. I wish it had better grip but that's besides the point.

Why get this if there’s a better clock out there (Qiyi.) this doesn’t look as good as the other, and obviously performance and upkeep is terrible compared to the other. Honestly spending 10 dollars wasn’t worth it, and I bought the Qiyi clock anyway and it was a dream. So easy and so enjoyable to use. Do yourself a favor and dnt get this one lol

Get the magnetic qiyi

This clock is practically unusable out of the box, so make sure to get weight 5/50k with this if you don't already have this, and follow kit clements tutorial on YouTube on how to lube and tension this clock, and after that, the clock performs well. It's quite noisy however, and one of my magnets came loose and i had to glue it on, which suggests that quality control isnt great. TLDR: good clock with setup, if you have enough clock get the qiyi

cheap and feels like it, pretty good though.

This cube is very good for beginners. This was my first clock and its pretty good. my one gripe with it is that one of the pins came without a magnet. it had one on the light blue side but not on the dark blue. Every other pin was fine except for that one. Because of this i have to hold the pin up when i do cross on the dark blue side Yet somehow i still can average 25-30s lol. Overall ok clock.

Even after setting up I can barely turn. The screws in mine are sort of rusty so I had to pull out the gloves to set it up, which was also hard. I had to use A LOT of force to get to the springs. DO NOT BUY. GET A RUBIK'S BRAND CLOCK.
