Cubing Horror Stories

Holy 3 month bump

It’s fine, hes adding useful information

I have more horror...
Rubik's Speed...
It is halfway decent for being a Rubik's brand, but you can buy way better for the same quality and lower price. The horror?
Springs. Corner cut. And worst of all, the magnets...they were slipping out of their casing...So I threw it down the stairs, salvaged any useful pieces, and bagged the rest.

Another horror story that gives me chills down to this day...
It was late December. I was drilling 7x7 and had just gotten pb an hour earlier. I knew I was going on a streak. But as I increased my tps, the cube exploded. BOOM! I thought it was just a pop, and tried reassembling it. But I found out, I broke the center
That was the end of my Aofu WRM. Ended with a pb and a bang.
I miss it still, but moving on is imperative for progress. Rest in pieces, Aofu WRM. I will get your next generation version, Aofu v5!
