[Help Thread] Issue with my Qiyi Clock

[bldcuber314]

So I got a Qiyi Clock a couple of months ago. I had never tried a Clock, so didn't notice that it was unusually slow. When I recently tried somebody else's Clock, theirs was so much faster and better that my PB went straight from 8.89 to 7.40 in about 10 solves. I tried loosening it, but it hasn't changed. Does anybody know what the issue may be?

Smth that I did to make it faster was making the center clocks the same magnet strengths as the edge clocks and removing the corner clock magnets

But if you dont want to do that then you can take out the screws and use tape or clean out your clock from the inside

My clock isn't the fastest either, I thought it was normal. If your clock is really loose, turning would be worse. Maybe yours has stronger magnets \_`'_/

Yeah the thing is that the other guy's Clock was the same model but so much faster...

Do the tape mod, simple answer.

Maybe he overlubed it IDK.

The tape mod doesnt make the clock way faster...


anyway. My reccommendation is to lubricate your clock. You want to open up the clock and rake all the small clock out. Grab something like kitchen paper. Put some weight 5 lube on it and spread the lube around the side using the paper. Then do an drop on the other side of the paper and do it on the other case thing. Now close it up and just break it in.

Or... just watch this video.

Also use tape mod, and maybe do center mod, center mod is that you push down the magnets in the center with something small like a thumbtack.

He said he didn't lube at all, I don't think he even loosened.
