The BEST 3x3 on the planet... in my opinion. I was super excited for this puzzle, and it definitely did not disappoint! It has a soft feel like nothing Ive felt in a puzzle before, and because of that it's quiet and feels like it glides on butter. I 100% recommend this puzzle!

This puzzle had some serious problems right out of the box, but I did end up fixing them with different lubes and also tensioning the puzzle.
This puzzle is everything you've come to love and expect from QiYi's original WuQue, just in a smaller form factor. I prefer this size.
I hope Angstrom makes their own version of this puzzle. If they do, it will definitely be my main!

It's a very fast puzzle. So far it's too fast for me, but I think a little bit of practice with it and I will get used to it. If not, I might try and slow it down a little bit, add lube, tension... whatever it takes. We'll see.
No corner twists, no popping, and it's very stable. Everything you want in a professional 2x2.

In all honesty, I thought the prototype coated cubes I got a while ago were ok, but not great. These cubes are a big improvement over the prototypes. The coating adds a different feel to the puzzle, and the fact they are set up with Angstrom lubes makes a big difference.
I have a good feeling the black one will be my main, but I want to solve with them a little while longer just to make sure. It's a big decision, and a big recommendation to make.
As the puzzles are right now, I would recommend them.

Compound V is my favourite of the two. I prefer a puzzle that is already controllable, and then adding faster lube to make it as fast as I'd like it. Compound V is definitely a great lube for that.
Compound X is made to make a faster cube controllable. Meaning the puzzle is too fast out of the box and you want to slow it down.
One problem I've found is that when you use a thick lube to slow puzzles down, over time they will dry out and leave a more than usual gummy feel in the puzzle and it slows down. As a result, you need to either clean the cube and re-lube, or speed it up with a faster lube.
I recommend them both, it really depends on what you're trying to do. Hopefully this video helps :)

I was able to set this up so this puzzle is much better than out of the box. The only issues that still remain is the inner slices. Overall, I think the inner slices are not up to par with the other flagship 4x4's on the market.
The 3x3 stage on this is AMAZING. It's super fast, which I like. I think the honeycomb design on the 4x4 was a great innovation. It works really really well.
One thing I didn't mention in the video for some reason is that I don't really like the magnets showing. It LOOKS cool sure, but I keep getting flashes of the magnet colours while solving. It's not necessary, but also not distracting.
I'm looking forward to Gan producing another 4x4 in the future and I hope they fix the flaws the 460 has.

Despite the negatives I did point out in this video, I'm very sure that everything is an easy fix and this puzzle will become amazing.
This puzzle got a lot of attention due to it being a flagship puzzle from MoYu, and that it has ridges. Why the ridges? Granted, they are hardly noticeable, they just aren't necessary on a 3x3. That's also what people said about magnets and now look at all of us LOL
I'm excited to see what this can do, stay tuned for the full review!

Like I say in the video, out of the box the outer layers were pretty sticky and slow. The problem I had with this is that when I turn just the outer layers, they would take an inside layer with them. That's frustrating in the 3x3 stage, and sometimes while doing an edge flip alg during edge pairing. In about an hour though the lube started moving around and this problem went away. The outer layers are still a little bit more slow than the inners, but knowing Angstrom puzzles, it won't be long until they all feel the same.
I'm going to take a bit of time with this puzzle and get back to you all with a full review of this puzzle!

I was actually hoping that this puzzle has some turns that I couldn't figure out by pictures I saw, but it doesn't. You actually don't even need to know any algorithms to solve this puzzle. It's very intuitive. A really good puzzle for being just starting out, or for advanced solvers who want some quick satisfaction.
Guys! I'm giving this puzzle away on my Instagram. Just search for CrazyBadCuber, or use the link above! Thanks for watching!

I'm slightly disappointed with this puzzles performance, however I believe I might be able to solve some of the problems with some proper setup.
Like I said in the video, the 3x3 stage is great, the feel of the puzzle is great, it's a good speed as well. However it's faulted by locky inner slices, random corner twists, and it's starting to feel unstable.
I think with proper setup it can be a good cube. We'll see.

So this puzzle was quite unexpected. I expected a basic cheap magnetic 3x3 based on the price point. I was surprised to see and experience how good this puzzle actually is. It is the best budget magnetic cube, and I hate calling it a "budget" cube, as it performs like a much more expensive flagship puzzle.
Corner cutting is great, no corner twists, stickers are high quality and good shades (for me), it's super smooth and also very quiet. One thing I forgot to mention, when I added the DNM-37 to it, it became a little bit louder, but hardly, yet worth mentioning.
I recommend this puzzle to everybody, not just beginners. It's more than worth the money!

Although most reviewers would open this and say the cubes are bad, it would just be bad for them. This set is really good for beginners, and I'm pretty sure that's the intention towards making it.
All of the cubes have a really unique feel to the them. The texture is not just pleasing to the eye, but it allows for a nice grip on the puzzle. Usually I don't like textured puzzles as they don't allow for good grip, but ShengShou pulled it off somehow.
I recommend this set to anybody looking to get into speedcubing, or just looking to get something better than what they have.

I was super happy that ShengShou made a petaminx that is not pillowed. I much prefer the flat sided puzzles over pillowed puzzles.
This puzzle is not only very smooth, but also extremely stable. I've gone over all the stickers and only the one I showed in the video has a blemish on it, which isn't even a big deal because it comes with extra stickers!!!
If you like big puzzles and want a petaminx, I highly recommend this puzzle!

This is Yuxin's newest flagship puzzle. I heard it was fast, very fast. I didn't really know what to actually expect because everybody's view on "fast" is different. Out of the box it was the fastest 3x3 I've ever tried. Immediately I knew it had to be slowed down. I used a mixture of the Angstrom lubes and DMN-37 to slow it down. This worked instantly.
The puzzle is now very controllable, has great corner cutting, the magnetic strength now feels much more usable and the puzzle is not over shooting, which can be a result of lock-ups.
Overall I'm very impressed with this puzzle, it's now my new main cube. I recommend this to everybody, but I also recommend you get the lubes necessary to slow it down and use my video as a tutorial.

This is literally the best 4x4 I've ever tried. Out of the box it was VERY slow and sluggish and this was my experience with the first stickerless version I got so I felt disappointed right away. However after just a couple of days it has become the BEST 4x4 I've ever solved on. There is not a single thing I have bad to say about this puzzle.
I remember back in the day, when 4x4's were all crap, I was never satisfied with everything. Some aspects of some cubes were great but lacked in other areas. I've never been fully satisfied until the cubicle started putting their finishing touches on the newer flagship puzzles.
I highly recommend this puzzle to all speeds of solvers.

Definitely a nice looking puzzle! I personally don't feel like it performs nearly as good as the other versions, the plastic feels different too. That being said, it's not terrible. You can still speedcube on it.
For the price, definitely worth it!

This puzzle surprised me. As in, I didn't think it was going to be this good. As I said in the video, I like everything about it besides the texture of the plastic. It's extremely stable, no corner twists, it corner cuts great, it's smooth and the magnets are a perfect strength for me.
I recommend this puzzle for all levels of solvers.

I'm so happy that another one of my puzzles got mass produced! It's a very simple mod, didn't take too long to make the hand made version, but it really adds a level of difficulty and some interesting parity cases to deal with.

Honestly these are the best lubes I've ever used. Especially when combined with Lubicle Black and DNM-37. Be careful when applying these lubes though, it's easy to over lube the cube and hard to get it off. It lasts a very long time, and doesn't make the puzzle feel greasy at all.
