I only just learned skewb, it's a fun puzzle to learn other than your main. Though I found it to be a struggle when I gave it the first turn, literally slipping out of my hands, so beware of that. That's just me, not the puzzle. Because some people are used to a different puzzle as their main or they want to just try this out, it might be a struggle and quite uncomfortable to some people. Now onto the actual twisty puzzle itself. The black kirin is a nice cube, and it is very great for beginners to learn from, though I will take away a point for the packaging, legit a piece of cardboard in the box to fill up the box size. a little smaller than the MoYu RS3M box or GAN box packaging. It's very nice, and I love the little reference to the actual black kirin during the dynasty times. The box it came with me had a design of a black kirin based on the Qing Dynasty which is a mythical animal from the poem "Shijing" or "Feet of the Lin" poem in classical poetry from 11th to 7th BCE. Though it is a wide arrange of different types of kirins, in Chinese it is called "Qilin" with multiple different ones from other countries. It is a legendary mythical creature resembling a hooved chimerical, a legendary mythical creature according to Greek mythology times was a fire-breathing hybrid. Ok too much qilin, more cube. The cube is actually great, it basically aligns easily though with wrong hand movements it can slip out or misalign. Lovely great cube, it is a 10/10, for beginners and intermediate. I suggest using another skewb for something I would say like a magnetic or a trustworthy skewb. Color schemes seem the same as usual. I just suggest getting a good hand coordinate for the cube in itself, not this specific cube but all of them. Honestly though, love the cube, I've been cubing nonstop for about 2 months and this just came in 2 days ago. Love it! Finally, a new cube to learn. I still would suggest it because it's sorta cheap for a broke cuber like me. This is quite a long message just for a cube. Oh well, too late to turn back because I did all this already lol. Love the cube, beginner friendly. Ok, hope you all have a great time cubing and have a good Cubicle experience. Y'all have a good day now, goodbye! (By the way, if you need to lube it, lube it.)

my first skewb and 1st day i used the manual to learn how to solve it. i can hear the springs. so if you dont want to watch youtube it comes with a great little booklet that teaches you how to solve and it has a good method. turns OK. i would recommend to everyone

I got this cube for my brother and it was pretty nice and the bearings felt okay and good. It obviously kind of felt cheap. The problem was that the box it came in was so different to the image we panicked and thought we got the wrong puzzle

This was my first Skewb. It’s an easy puzzle to solve, but quite strange. Ootb, the turning was meh 😑, but after breaking it in, it started to get better. There’s nothing special about this Skewb (in my opinion). There a few problems though: this Skewb is quite flimsy and hard to control. There is an irritating spring noise, that I do not like. It’s not my biggest problem though. Anyway, these aren’t big problems. Maybe, I could just add some lube to help its control ability. I would recommend this Skewb (for beginners). Hope this review helps.

All though it is expensive I got it as a gift, and taught the recipient how to solve the Skewb. All in all, worth the price

Pretty good can hear the spring

It has a satisfying click sound it comes with a stand and a Cubehead logo from using discount code Cubehead.

It won’t be my main, I think I would just recommend it to beginners. Right?

Turns easily nice corner cutting, very good colours, design and texutre, but the only flaws are crunchy feel and occasional loudness.

It’s snaps into place but it’s not magnetic and the logo came right off and has a sandy feel but I think it will be better with lube
