I just back into cubing after 5 years, and I’m blown away by the improvements in hardware. I picked up two QiYi Warrior W for a friend and I, so that I can teach them while we use the same cube. What I didn’t expect was for this cube to be better than my entire collection from 2009-2014: speed, cutting, tension, weight, and even the sound of the cube are all so much better.
Even after forgetting half of the algorithms that I used to know, I crushed my average of 5 last night with this cube. That got me thinking that I need to pick something else up. The only thing that I don’t like about this cube is the color scheme. The “vivid” scheme of the cube looks a bit too pastel for me, not enough contrast.

Things that I do like about this cube:
- Perfect tension and smoothness right out of the box. My old DaYan used to pop multiple times per day. One of the reasons that I quit cubing was that I couldn’t get the tension right.
- Stickerless. I hate the look and feel of frayed stickers, so stickerless is nice.
- Unbelievable cutting. I had never seen a cube with “rounded off” center caps, which I thought was really interesting, and somehow this cube cuts like a monster.
- Sound. The cube has a kind of muffled sound which complements the smoothness. Another reason that I quit cubing was that I didn't want to annoy people with the sound.
- Weight. The cube is light but feels very solid.
