Where it was purchased: Friend gave it to me
When: February 16
Thoughts: This is the only non-rubik's i own so it was very impressive. I need to lube it as it is not as fast as I would like. However, it is extremely fast for an unlubed cube.

Excellent cube ever!!! Even faster than Zhanchi but hard to control. It's not the problem of Lingyun II itself, it's because I am not fast enough, so Zhanchi is more suitable for me!
Best OH cube as well.
I have three of them with different tension adjustment and different color stickers. They are all great with different feeling when turning.

Thoughts: So far, this is the "fastest" (by that, I mean it takes the least effort to turn) cube I have ever tried (with the exception of an eastsheen 5x5 but that doesn't really count). I can't comment on how easy it is to control because I have greyscale stickers on mine and my recognition is awful with them, so I don't have a very fast F2B/F2L. The only negative I can think of for this cube is the screw length: for mine at least, they were too long (I've screwed each center the entire way in and it still feels fairly loose). I don't mind Its current tension (I'd say it's just right) but for someone who maybe doesn't want torpedoes, they may also want shorter screws (of course personal preference etc.).

I think you better put a second washer to the screw (on both side of spring) instead of one currently. This will make the tension tighter. If you don't need torpedoes, you can go for a Lingyun I, I know Dayan doesn't produce any Lingyun I though.

Where the puzzle was purchased: Got 2 for free, at Melbourne Summer Open
When the puzzle was purchased: 25 Feb
Thoughts on the puzzle: Best Cube, ever awesome speed, awesome cornercut, maybe every 25 solves a corner turns, which is the only bad thing about it.

Best cube ever!!! Dropped by half a second and i'm already sub-12. Finally got a sub-10 average of 5

[guinepigs rock]

some time in january or febuary.
thoughs I use it as a main so it awsome I also use a guhong but the linyun is faster.
