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.

Very Smooth Zhanchi 2018

I threw in some GuassBoys 4x2 N35 magnets, lubed, and tensioned it...and Voila. it is very smooth, similar to other capped designs like the Gans Air SM. It is also quiet due to the plastic washers contacting the springs. Not to be confused with the Zhanchi 2017, this cube will take you anywhere you want to go (with magnets). I also like the old school color scheme...it looks less like a kids toy and more like a finely tuned professional puzzle.

Very Smooth Zhanchi 2018

I threw in some magnets, Angstrom lube, set it up, and Voila! I haven't been able to put it down for close to a month. It has a very smooth feel similar to other capped designs like the GAN Air SM. It is also quiet due to the plastic washers contacting the springs.
This cube will take you anywhere you want to go (with the right magnets). I selected GuassBoys 4x2 N35 magnets to create a 0.06-0.07 lb. pull force. Note that not all 4x2 N35 magnets are created equal, as most are much weaker than their rating and measure more like 1.5-1.7 mm thick.
I prefer the old school color scheme to bright color schemes found on most cubes today because it appears more like a finely tuned professional puzzle and less like a kids toy...and yes, I do have a few too many of those as well for low light. This color scheme is currently rare and nonexistent on sticker-less cubes anymore.

Not Well For Speed Cubing

This puzzle is good and all but not good for speedcubing. the corners are squarish which prevent it from reaching its full potential of a cube and all in all just isnt good. But if the pieces were a bit more round and the fixed some edge piece designs this could have great potential.
