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.

Customer Reviews
The Thunderclap V3 M is a really nice budget cube for novices and professionals alike. It is a really nice speed cube if you are a starter as most speed cubes people start of with are on average worse than flagships, but beginners don't need flagships either. The best budget 3x3 OOTB today is most likely the RS3 M 2020, with some setup, the Qiyi MS, Thunderclap V3 M, and YuXin Little Magic M are all really nice;
The thunderclap v3 M is in essence a Valk 3 Power M but with cheaper plastic, but to me there's not much of a difference. The cube is a little tight, that is why it locks up a little on fast turns, loosening won't help as it will be too uncontrollable and snappy, so I recommend lubricating it with a heavy/gummy silicone lubricant like Angstrom Compound X, Max Command, or Traxxas 50k to make it more controllable. Under the springs I recommend Traxxas 50k as well. If lubricating with a heavy lube makes it slow, I recommend some Cubicle Silk or DNM-37 to speed it up. In conclusion this a nice cube, but OOTB it needs some setup, tensions are fine, it only needs lubricating, but after setup it is otherwordly. It is a Valk 3 Power M with cheaper plastic, but it has the potential of the Valk Power M.
I like the coating on the outside. Other than that it is pretty average. Check out my video for a full review and unboxing.
I got this cube as an Easter present, and oh my god, it is THE BEST budget magnetic 3x3 on the market (imo) . If you are looking for a good magnetic 3x3 I would highly recommend this one. Only one problem though. It had pretty loud spring-noise out of the box, but it can be almost completely eradicated with some washers. But that was not a big enough problem to take away one star, other than that it just needs some lube and tightening and you're all set. I was able to do a U3 with one flick. So overall it is the best budget magnetic 3x3 on the market. It even beat my guiguan yuxiao EDM by a looooong shot.
if it’s one or the other get the rs3m 2020 but they’re both cheap and worth the money. i have the stickered and stickerless version and they both have really nice shades and the stickers are nice and durable but not too thick.
QiYi Thunderclap V3 M 3x3
Its really not bad. Its relatively fast but the magnets are too weak and I get lockups frequently. The plastic is kind of cheap and somewhat translucent. And this is purely cosmetic but I don't like the colors very much, especially the green side. I recommend an rs3m 2020 over this one. For about the same price its a great step up.
For a cube that is $9.99 it’s such a great cube
it is my main 3x3 and it turns great
THIS CUBE IS AWESOME AND WITH LUBRICANT IT IS AMAZING. I REALLY LIKE THE MAGNET STREGHTS AND THE CUBE SIZE. BUT I RECOMEND YOU GET THE CUBE IN STICKERLLES PLASTIC. THE ONLY THING THAT IS BAD IS THAT IT IS REALLY BAD OUT OF THE BOX AND IT NEEDS ADJUSTMENT BUT ONCE YOU ADJUST IT WOW!! IT REALY GOOD.
It was briefly good at first then developed an annoying clicking feel and noise on turning and m slices that refuses to go away no matter how much lube is put into the springs. Then it popped and the edge piece achieved escape velocity and could not find that piece again I was just trying to break it in to see if it goes back to normal. From looking at the lube/scratch pattern the corners was rubbing on other pieces despite not being that tightly tensioned.
