    hi, I'd like to voice my displeasure in the service. So recently, every time I've ordered from the cubicle it's been a pretty negative experience, but this time was probably at its peak. I ordered a Qiyi M-bag and DNM-37. When I picked up my package it was barely bigger than a 7x7, so from the...

    Idk how it feels in the valk, but N35 4x2s are really faint in my Yuxin blue. Also, get weaker magnets for the inner layers because those magnets will be double the strength as normal to accommodate for parity Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Case Against Magnetic Cubes

    why do you consider magnets not part of the mechanism? is it because its not part of the body of the cube? If it is, then you have to accept that it's just a design upgrade much like everything else. If it ISNT, then you also have to refute innovations like the torpedo that prevented anti-pop...

    QiYi's M-lube does a decent job at making a cube drastically smoother, so much so that its very, very easy to make a cube feel overlubed and gummy. It doesn't quite "soften" the cube like silk does but it does dampen somewhat. I recommend you try it considering its only 1$. However I don't know...

    First thing's first, If u didn't remove the centers but put cold water on it, you're putting ur cube at risk for rusting. Secondly, from how u describe ur lubing process you probably way over-lubed your cube. Honestly the process does not have to be that tedious. Here's a basic set up with ur...

    For those interested in making magnetic megaminxes or magnetic 5x5-7x7 cubes, i urge to you to consider the fact that there is a noticeable amount of weight added to cubes that need that many magnets. it should be as straightforward as any other split-piece construction 3x3 magnet tutorial. As...

    also, i feel like i left out some important points: 1. the magnets in the outer layer (N35, 4x2mm) feel very faint, only noticeable when turning slowly and like some demonstrations of magnetic 3x3s the layers really won't realign, theres just a faint snap and resistance. for me it feels perfect...

    [Review] QiYi WuQue

    Yeah I agree with you that the cube's speed is noticeably slower than other puzzles, and I used to also feel it wearing on my hands (hence Z lube once every hundred solves or so). I don't know if it's me getting used to it or the residue from my lubing but I definitely feel like it has become...

    sorry, I just added edited text, if your confused about it. if the text doesn't help feel free to ask some more. but yeah, I managed to control the problem of the inner layers possibly not aligning correctly by edges being flipped.

    its not so much the wifi speed as youtube simply being blocked by china internet. I have to bypass this by having a VPN subscription, and that makes internet quite a bit slower for some reason. totally sucks.

    I made my yuxin blue magnetic guys! i underestimated how many magnets i needed so I'm missing magnets in 5 more corner pieces, but essentially the cube feels pretty cool. Recommendation and tip for anyone who wants to try this: try slightly weaker magnets than n35 4x2 for the inner layers. my...

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to magnetize the inner layers on the yuxin blue. the struggle is gonna be the death of me lol #helpppppppp Edit: the best idea i have is to not magnetize the edges but instead magnetize the centers. however on the blue it seems like the caps are superglued...
