Out of the box, the Fangshi Jieyun is very smooth and fast, but not uncontrollable. The middle slices are very nice, just like any cube from this company. I especially like the grooves, as they increase grip and protect the stickers, both I like very much.

After a short break-in of fifty solves, the cube has smoothed alot more, while retaining it's speed. And after lubricating it with weight 3 and hand sanitizer (i was bored), this cube is fast among anything else, corner cuts better than a yuxiao, and becomes more controllable.

I am beyond impressed. The only thing I would suggest is releasing it in teal.

This is by far my favourite 3x3 to exist on the market. Nothing come even close to comparing to it. It is MUCH less sandy than previous FangshiCubes, corner twists less, and after setting it up with Traxxas 50k on the core and Weight 1 on the pieces, it was Heaven in a Cube. At first, the feel of the dips for the stickers may be a bit weird but you just need to get used to it and it will benefit you in the long run. I definitely reccommend the Fangshi Jieyun. Much better than the mainstream Moyu cubes. Obviously my new main.

My main right out of the box! Comes in really high tensions but turns super fast. After tensioning and lubing it felt great! Reconmend the Fanshi JieYun to anyone!

As a big fan of the previous FangShi cubes, I preordered this cube the day it was available on thecubicle.us. Out of the box, the cube was extremely tight, and the mechanism made it nigh on impossible to pop. After unscrewing all the centers, lubing the core, and reassembling the cube with moderate tensions, I performed my first turns. Almost immediately, I was blown away by the JieYun's speed and controllability. This cube is almost nothing like any of the previous FangShi cubes, as it is crunchy, not scratchy, and is very stable, unlike the flimsier feeling GuangYing and ShuangRen. As of the time of writing, I have the JieYun set up with Traxxas 50k lube in the core and a light layer on the pieces, and medium to loose tensions. The corner cutting is mindblowing; the cube is able to cut 55-60 degrees with the smallest effort, and reverse cuts a full cubie. After around 1000 solves, the cube becomes extremely fast and smooth with a faint underlying crunchiness. Out of all the cubes I have tried (Aolong, Weilong, Meiying, Yueying, Yuxin, etc.), this is by far the best. My main since the day it arrived.

The fangshi jieyun was very dry out of the box. It was also vary tight. Valero bad out of the box. After lube and tensioning it was ok but not that good.

this cube turns great, very fast and the grooves help me grip the cube better but(t) it didnt have the same sandy feels as th shuang ren

Out of the box this cube was very swooshy and a little sandy. The cube feels much heavier than the fangshi shuangren v2. The cubes dips in the pieces dont feel that noticable during a solve. I noticed that the dips caused my look ahead to be not that great as i couldnt see the stickers because of the dips but i will probably get used to it and gain the ability to look ahead on it. This cube honestly doesnt need to be lubed and is perfect out of the box. Though, it is very fast out of the box it is still competition ready out of the box. I recommend this to all puzzle collectors and people who are sub 30 and under to get this cube. It corner cuts well and it fast.

By far the best cube in the fangshi line, which is my favorite line of cubes. My new main. With corner cutting over 45 degrees and caps that don't pop off, you can't go wrong. It maintains that classic fangshi scratchy/hollow feel even after living it with weight 3 lubicle. I like this cube so much I'm going to have to buy the primary color version as well as the mini version as well. BUY THIS CUBE. Easily on par, if not surprising any other speedcube right now.

I really was not expecting a lot because my previous main was the Moyu Along. I personally think this cube is better out of the box, with again a nice crunchy feeling, nothing like any or Fangshi. I had an extremely tough getting the pieces out, even after tensioning the cube, to lube the core. In order to see how awesome this cube is, you need to buy it. Must have in any collection.

All I can say is wow. I wasn't excepting much when I ordered it but after a little Maru lube, this cube blew me away. I have around 200 solves and have had almost 0 catches and 0 corner twist. Sometimes my Along v2 (my old main) slipped around in my hands, but the little ridges made a huge difference. There is no reason why you shouldn't buy this. Give it a try!
