CubeHead now has a signature cube (the only one not named after himself), but the main question that I have is about the price. Any ideas why that price exactly?

I never really got the appeal of creator cubes but I guess it's for people who really love certain YouTubers? The description sounds like a mystic + angstrom setup.

I would be more enticed by them if they had a high quality painted logo for each specific cuber, instead of just a pretty basic clear sticker.
 
I see the Monster Go smart cube is on ZiiCube for 15 bucks. Does anyone know how well it functions?

56mm, 81g, 48 magnets, replaceable battery, Cube Station. Sounds great.

It's great to see smartcubes coming down in price and improving in terms of features, and they should. The main challenge is not in the cubes (they are all pretty good), but in getting enough user friendliness and robustness in the software, and that is a different story up to this point. I wish the Monster Go great success, so as to grow the market and get more serious effort in software development. At this price point and given what we know of the current Monster Go and Gan's software, I believe that it should be popular, esp as gifts from parents, at this cheap and cheerful price. I think it is the start of a significant breakthrough for the growth of smartcubes. Timing is good, as children are staying at home more due to the lockdown and Christmas is coming. I can see a race soon and I hope there is open standards and greatly improved common software as a result. I mean software that can be used by all smartcubes and become a common platform. I also hope there will be more advanced flagship level smartcubes with fast processors to reduce lag and smarter software to analyse solve times, i.e. some actual AI. There are heaps still waiting to to done. The future looks good.
