4x4 Clefferts broken??

Offtopic: Why shouldn't people use the word Cleffert's?
Since it means Cloned Meffert's (Meffert's clone).
I'm pretty sure I made up the expression (I think).

Monkeydude1313 made up the term and has been spreading it.

Actually, I told Monkeydude about the word in a comment for one of his videos.

Edit: He used to call them "C4Y 4x4 and 5x5 Tiled"

It's superfluous to use Cleffert's, we don't say Centosha Void cube or C(erdes)7.

Good point, but I guess cloned Meffert's/Cleffert's is mentioned more often then the ones you mentioned.

anyway, back to topic.
The problem you are experiencing is the ball core getting out of alignement.
Disassemble the cube and screw the core back together with the right alignement.

heyy is the '4x4x4 Brain Teaser Magic IQ Cube' from DX , the same as the cube4you 4x4 ? please reply : )

i think it is equivalent to the chinaminx, people understand the term and it is more efficient than a "chinese made megaminx"

I have this DX cube in white - it's a good puzzle and it has lasted longer than my Rubik's 4x4x4 which broke a centre after a couple of days usage. I don't have a Meffert's to compare with (too costly right now).

They have very similar parts (see http://www.tecspy.com/cubing/4x4#variants) but I'd say the DX centres are more robust than the Rubik's.

I was expecting something radically better than my EastSheen when I got both my Rubik's and DX but they were both just OK, meh, whatever!

Having said all this I must admit I don't enjoy the 4x4x4 as much as I enjoy other puzzles
