Be aware that if you buy this cube now in 2021, the out of the box experience might be a bit rough. This cube comes pre-lubed from the factory, and it's not a popular selling cube anymore, so you might get one that has sat around for a couple years. Mine was really sticky and dried out. Plan on taking it apart when you get it and washing and scrubbing all the pieces thoroughly.

The box comes with an extra set of weaker springs in case you want to swap it out, and a set of ball bearings in case you want to add a bit of weight to the corner pieces.

Always recommend to people interested in cubing!

At a comp, I got this from Cubedepot. This cube is great out of the box. Sandy, and fast. After lubing with SCS Weight 8(since thecubicle has no weight 8), wiping, and relubing with Traxxas 50k, is is fast but controllable. It feels smooth and the inertia balls help add weight to the turn without making it uncontrollable. The cube currently has them inside. I use this as my main now, and it fits me very well. It feels like a faster, less sandy, and more premium Little Magic. It is also more stable than the Little Magic. The cube is a good size for OH, and I used it at my comp as my OH and 3x3 round 2 main. Bottom line is, buy it if you like the LM but want more speed and stability.

When I received the cube in the mail, it was very fast out of the box. And that was before the ball bearings were in the corners. So when I put the ball bearings in and lubed it with Maru Lube, it was so fast. The turns were so effortless. Made my Gans 356 Air feel like a Rubik’s brand a little bit. It’s so much fun to solve. It became my main in 15 minutes. Love this cube. Definitely recommend this cube to the world of cubers. Especially the stickerless version.

my huanglong was only ok out of the box, no lube on the prices whatsoever, it felt unstable and lock. This cube is very crunchy, might need some setting up to do. As the cube also has this squeaking while putting force on the edges, this does not happen on my gts2m. overall, the cube seems to have potential, but I might have just gotten a bad one.

I was lucky enough to try this puzzle at Minnesota meltdown 2018 and I competed with it in the competition. It was way too fast for me, If you like a cube that is fast then this is the cube for you. NOTE: If you want a controllable cube this cube is not for you. I would recommend the Valk. If this cube was slowed down a bit it might be my main, but for now, I'm sticking with my SM.

The light weight of this cube makes it feel incredibly fast and modern. I can achieve my best times despite the lack of magnets on this cube. No lock ups ever and corner twists are rare. Truly one of the last great pre-modern era cubes right there with the GTS 2 and original Valk

I wanted something that would last, and found this on clearance. Great price, good to learn with. Others say it needs some cube lube but I skipped out - I can see how for advanced users it would be good, but as a beginner I was fine.

This cube is 3+ years old, got it to try my hand at magnetizing a cube, was pleasantly surprised at how stable and well turning it is OOTB with good corner cutting especially since I'm used to newer magnetic cube tech, very nice cube for what it is. Actually better As-Is than after magnets, the plastic is real thick so would need 4x2mm N42+ all around, maybe then even add the RS3M magnetic upgrade kit for best results still quite nice overall
