Black Based Sticker on Primary Body 3x3x3 New Fangshi Funs Speed Cube Puzzle, 5.46cm

Awesome cube! I just received it today, so I haven't "broken" the cube in, but oh wells. Excellent first impressions. Stock out of the box, it was factory-lubricated with a pretty high viscosity lube. It had a scratchy feel to the cube, very loose (But surprisingly impossible to pop when solving, just jiggly). So as a casual cuber, i lubed it with Team Associated 40 Weight Lube (Highly recommend it, high volume for a very low cost) and it was wonderful, BTW I used CrazyBadCuber's "Fangshi ShuangRen Assembly" Video. It still retains its scratchy feel, I mean it's not annoying, but without it, I'm pretty sure it would be a bit better. It sometimes overshoots, resulting in lockups, but you can solve that by tensioning the cube more. The cube can corner cut to about 45 degrees regular and around half a cubie on reverse, so excellent and when it can't corner cut, it NEVER pops, unless you force it with ALOT of force. The mechanism was cool to work around with when i assembled and disassembled it, but when you take the edge caps off, I had problems. But it's just probably my cube, several of the caps' prongs fell off that would ordinarily attach to the body of the piece. I put a mail-opener tool and pushed it out of the hole in the edge body. But that means it was a tight fit, so if you're not doing anything to it, like modding, it shouldn't be a problem, but if you are, just be careful. That's not really a con. This is my first FUNs puzzle, and I highly recommend it. It has a nice feeling and is very fast.

I ordered this cube just because the picture on Amazon makes it look pretty cool. It doesn't look as good in person as it does in the picture. It has a 'cheap' sort of look to it. And at first touch it feels cheap too. It is also very light and the corners twist quite easily. My initial impression was that this is a cheap toy.However, after playing around with it for awhile, I have to admit that I really like this cube. It is super fast and one easy flick will get you a 180 degree turn which improves my solve time a lot. The corner cutting is excellent as well with around a 45 degree reverse cut and a little more than that for a forward cut. I didn't have to lube it at all and the tension it came as is a perfect fit for me. Not too tight and not too loose. It took me awhile to adjust to the weight of the cube though. It is almost weightless, a very light cube. But once I got the hang of it that didn't bother me anymore.So in spite of the fact that it looks and feels like a cheap toy, it is actually a great cube and really good for practicing speed solving. I gave it 5 stars because it is a lot more fun to solve than I thought it would be. I will recommend it.

Over the years I have tried many different cubes, but have always gone back to the shuangren as my main. Its such a crisp and satisfying cube, the scratchy feel and sound gets me every time, bringing me back to the old days of the A5, albeit without the crazy popping. This cube has popped on my once. Once in 3 years, and even then it was because I was trying it out on a looser tension. Simply amazing.As a rough seasoned intermediate cuber, this thing is perfect. I average 19 using beginners f2l and 2 look. Yes this cube needs breaking to corner cut well as it has difficulty cutting over 45 from stock, but after breaking in, this thing will destroy your zhanchi.My averages on other cubes (over time, all beginners f2l & 2 look):Alpha 3: 26.57Alpha 5: 26.43Type C: 25.64Shengen f2: 25.63Guhong: 22.63Lunhui: 22.61Zhanchi: 21.32Shuangren: 19.87As of now I only actually own the Zhanchi and the Shuangren. My Zhanchi average is affected by the rather frequent popping, as I am a very rough cuber.

I have many cubes from MoYu, Dayan, Lanlan, Shengshou, etc. I really love this cube almost the most, and here's why:It's light. It weighs significantly less than any of the 8 different 3x3's I have, which makes solves easier. It also has a sandy feel, it's not clicky.(just the way I like it) After about 230 solves, the sandy feel went away a little bit, but it still had a unique feel. Corner cutting is absolutely fantastic on this cube. ALSO~~ this cube does not pop! It's structure makes it hard to even disassemble, yet it turns so fast.(I prefer very loose tensions)The reason I only gave 4 stars is because the stickers weren't all placed right. Some were really crooked. But over all, fantastic cube, I am happy with it.

Phenomenal! The turning is amazing, and I absolutely love the fast and scratchy feel of the puzzle. If you are used to stickerless cubes like I am, then the recognition of the somewhat dull sticker shades might be difficult. On my stickerless mini Aolong, I get averages of around 17-18 seconds, and on this, I only get 27-28 seconds. However, I have no doubt that if I get used to the colors and the ridiculously fast turning speeds, I would be able to get down to at least a 15 second average in a few weeks. The black piece caps on the primary plastic body look amazing, and the stickers are not as bad as I thought they would be. Maybe its just me, but the stickers on my cube are quite substantial and are holding up well. If you have a heavy lubricant, such as Lubix or Traxxas 50k, don't lube the pieces, only lube the core. It is very hard to not overlube the pieces, and a bit of lube in the core is enough to speed it up. Additionally, I am making this my main instead of the mini Aolong. Although this corner cuts less by about 10 to 20 degrees in either direction, I feel that the faster turning and phenomenal feeling of the cube make up for it, not to mention that this does not pop on tight to moderate tensions and rarely does on loose tensions. My Shuang Ren is on quite tight tensions, with only around 4-5 millimeters of leeway per center piece. It is still insanely fast, and so far, I am LOVING the cube. This blows any cube I've tried out of the water, be it a Zhanchi, Guhong, Weilong, or Aolong. It completely deserves 5 stars!

Great cube; would buy again in a heartbeat!Some notes:1) The action is very loose, but also precise. That is, the torque is very even across all faces and degrees of rotation. 2) The smaller cube is much friendlier on small hands like mine. 3) The degree of corner rounding is good both on the inside and the outside. Feels pleasant and never snags. 4) Easy to realign during solving with gentle pressure to the faces. 5) The colors are nice; distinctive but not weird.One thing however: this cube rewards a light touch and good precision. It's more like driving a sports car than a monster truck. Treat it well and it will treat you well.

TL;DR: DO try this cube if you are a speed cuber.I have used ~10 cubes over the years, and this is so far my favorite. I initially discovered this cube while watching this youtube video about PLL([...]) and decide to try this brand. This cube is NOT the model in the video: it is slightly smaller (54mm each side vs 57mm regular), and lighter as well.Pros:(1) Looks good!(2) Very smooth and great corner cutting capability due to its special internal design.(3) Has not popped even once after some intense solving.(4) It comes perfectly lubricated and the center screws are well adjusted.Cons:(1) Some pieces were not cleanly cut off the sprue when they were manufactured: small plastic residues on the corner of some pieces may hurt your hand when speed solving. I used a nail file to polish those corner pieces and it's good after that.(2) It's not that easy to adjust the center screw (luckily the tension is fine for me).That being said, I recommend trying this cube if you are a speed cuber.

This is likely the slickest and fastest cube I own. The corner-cutting is superb. I get great times with this and enjoy the coloring as well. A significant weakness I see with this cube is that it does not take much effort to accidentally flip a corner piece into an unsolvable position, and because it moves so quickly you may not even notice until you are solving the yellow corners. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with this puzzle as long as it lets me solve it!
