Very light, Shades are great! The turning is clean and slick. Its easy to tension and lube. Sold by D'Fantix. Th plastic is very high quality, better than my moyu!
Cyclone Boys cubes really are a bit different than the rest, aren't they? Very glossy, smooth plastic. I find them very easy to flick, and impressively controllable when flicked (they just want to flick in quarter-rotation multiples, don't they?), while possessed of a clacky, solid turn feel when turned more deliberately. You either love the smooth glossy surfaces or you hate them -- I imagine that folks with sweatier palms may find them a liability, though I've never had a problem, myself. Tightened up a little from the factory, they're impressively stable for such an easy-turning cube, too. At my optimum stability point, I don't get the greatest corner cuts (30 degrees tops), but that's a very small price to pay for the added stability that tightening it a bit achieved, in my opinion. (My Cyclone Boys 2x2 has amazing corner cutting. Again, this may be a matter of setup, I tune for stability first.)
I own a 2x2 and a 3x3 from them, and really like both of them. I'm looking forward to trying out their new magnetic 3x3, the Shaolin Popey, and seeing what I think of it.
There are some people who will hate the glossy slick plastic, I suppose, but I rather love it, myself. As you mention, SegTendoPPCC42, it's a surprisingly high-quality offering for a budget cube, and the turning is delightfully clean, slick and controllable. I'm happy to see these cubes getting more attention lately; they rarely turn up in the budget cube shootouts, and frankly, they should!
They're not for everyone, they're genuinely different from most other budget cubes, and I think they have a really unique and underrated smoothness that deserves more attention and more respect than they receive.
