I recently received my Type C 3x3 version 4 and colored key chain 3x3. They are awesome.
The 3x3 IV is still on prototype sample stage for testing before production.

It's a fast cube and with brilliant new design ideas. The edge has anchor but not like Dayan, it's integrated into 2 edge pieces.

The corner is made by three same pieces, similar idea but not the same design.

There is an extra round piece structure separated from center but underneath can lock up the anchor to prevent the edge from popping out. I think it's the key design to make Type C IV un-popable. Great design. But it makes the cube very hard to disassemble and reassemble.

It took me over one hour to see the inside design and put them together properly!


The colored key chain cube is so cute and doesn't need sticker, very convenient to take in pocket, smooth to turn and does not need to be lubed at all.

Here are some pictures with my WitTwo to share with cubers. The pictures are compressed from 5MB, bit hard to see details, sorry. DSC00672.JPGDSC00690.JPGDSC00675.JPGDSC00689.JPGDSC00687.JPGDSC00685.JPGDSC00679.JPG

So what are your opinions of the cube overall? Does it lock up a lot or is it pretty smooth? Does it feel smooth or clicky?
 
hang on, are you the guy who was at melbourne summer 2012? i remember trying out the type c4 at that comp and it was freaking beastly :D

8#, 10#, Yes, it was me.

Overall, it's a fast cube! Good corner cutting, not clicky at all, no lock up happening, hard to twist the corner even by force. Never pop even turning dramatically hard.
I am not very fast at cubing so that's all I can say.

I can't say smooth at this stage. With less than 10 hour practice I don't want to make any judgement because if it's not broken in properly, you can't really tell the trueth and it's only at protype stage, the tooling is not very well smoothed off. Let's wait for the production.

Better than Dayan cubes? Or do you think it will be better the new market version will be better?
