Nope, that’s actually Luke Skywalker behind the camera and he’s using the Force.

I got this cube, check out my review

[Review] Thread 'Reviewing some new cubes! QiYi Warrior M 5x5, QiYi M Pro 4x4 v2, and DaYan Guhong Pro+ (54mm Maglev)'

QiYi Warrior M 5x5

This was on sale for 13 dollars, so I decided to get it over the AoChuang which was much more expensive. And I can say that I'm happy with it. It has a stable feel from the triple-track magnet layout, and the cube turns smoothly, but it still has that budget plastic feel. I'm still trying to get used to turning the tiny inner layers of the 5x5, and I still need to work on edge pairing before I can start timing some solves, but other than that I am quite satisfied with this cube.

Performance: 9/10
Feel: 8.5/10
Price: 10/10
Overall: 92/100

We're already at V5? Damn, I remember V2 releasing. Am I officially unc status?

I remember V2 releasing.

Yeah ok boomer (/j)

… Wait, now that I'm looking at the mechanism, the 7×7 could be just a re-release of the Spark v2 (with UV coating and without extra sets of springs), and it wouldn't surprise me if the 6×6 is just a Shadow v3.

If that's the case, don't buy. The latest Spark and Shadow are not good and weren't good the day they were released.

You say this like I don't main the Spark v2. I legitimately think it's underrated and it's an okay (if someone weird) choice.

Nevertheless, absolutely bizarre marketing decision from Qiyi to re-release them given how generally unpopular they were—their own Warrior 6 and 7 were much more popular while also being substantially cheaper. (The M Pros are priced lower than the original Shadow v3 / Spark v2, but still much higher than the Warriors.)

(To be clear, I'm like 80% certain the 7×7 is a re-released Spark v2 (I took apart my cube to compare against Qiyi's pics) but I'm not sure about the 6×6.)

I feel like it's weird to release a 6x6 and 7x7 before a 5x5. There's yet to be a 5x5 in the QiYi's M Pro line, as far as I'm aware.
