I would not buy it, doesn’t seem like it’s worth it.

it's not for speedcubers. it's for kids who want to learn to speedsolve and ask their mom to buy it in Walmart instead of some random website

Rubik has attempted a few speed cubes over the years, with a varying range of success.

this is the first decent one afaict. the last one didn't have magnets?
honestly if they sold a meilong it'd be better performance but feel really light and cheap. I used one that I have now lost at college and it's shocking how light it is but somehow it still turns well

That’s interesting, I wonder if they’ll continue upgrading it or releasing different versions if this one goes well

It is supposed to be much better than the meilong

It's a rebranded swift block, and theyre selling it for more than the swift block. at atp gan should just abandon the rubiks partnership and start selling their cubes in stores

Wait, so Rubik’s didn’t create the cube themselves? I knew that cube looked similar.

They did not make a speedcube. Swift Block made a speedcube.
The Rubik's craftmanship is incredible on the logo, though.

I was at NAC and made friends with the people at the Rubik’s booth, who encouraged me to try this! I average about 9.5, and was getting some 11s and 12s with this cube. It is fairly good, and thanks to Kurtis Wong and Thompson Clarke for letting me try it out!

It looks quite different than a SwiftBlock, It has magnets and a dual-adjustment system

But that’s what Swift Block has, it has those magnet capsules and that same dual-adjustment system.

Oh, I guess I didn't realize what it was, Thanks

I guess it depends on what you consider 'decent' and if you take into account the time period it released. The Rubik DIY cube was my main for about 4-5 months. Though the center caps were obnoxious and required pieces of paper under them to stop them from falling out. I forget what year it released, but I remember being happy that I could get decent performance out of a puzzle that I didn't need to Frankenstein together.

They have done a magnetic speed cube before. Tymon has a sub-5 on his channel with it.

This the 3rd Rubik's Speed, all 3 in partnership with Gan.
1st was in 2018, tiled, non magnetic.
2nd was in 2020, tiled, magnetic.
3rd, this one.

This is the fourth.

They had another model a decade or so ago that was based on the 2.0. It was a crunchy mess.
