It is a requirement to respond with feedback via video or email. I did email, but will have a video later on.

Section A winners must post a video response for feedback at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M-eNY7Aj2Y. Section B and Section C winners can either post a video response at the same link or email us the feedback at [email protected]. I would really appreciate it if you are doing an email feedback thingy-ma-jig, do it as a comment on that link and I'll just reply to it so it'll be at the top of the comments When all the winners claimed their prize, they promised and agreed to follow the terms and give us feedback (DaYan is waiting to hear from them). But as of now, only 2 people gave us feedback. If you are a winner and you haven't given us feedback yet, please do it soon because if the terms aren't followed, we might not have another one of these contests/giveaways. Your actions will affect yourself and how DaYan treats you, us, and future events.

I wasn't one of your winners, I got my 2nd prototype elsewhere, but 2 weeks ago I posted this:

Spoiler

The first thing I noticed was the plastic they used for the test is a dark gunmetal blue-gray, not black, and it is very soft - you can bend the center pieces by squeezing them which causes the caps to pop off a lot. It is superbly moulded, very clean with flush joins and no defects I could see, DaYan do make very high quality cubes. It came assembled with some form of spray silicone lube on the pieces, which I left - I took the centers apart and lubed the screws, spring and washers with a tiny amount of Traxxas 50k to make it spin. Normally I would change the core in a DaYan, but this one looked very good and I checked for alignment and it is fine so I left it. I kept the factory tension too which is fairly tight, although with the T pieces in you could have it much looser. Because it is a prototype I am not going to mod it, I didn't do the 48 point edge mod or round the corner stalks or anything, so it is quite clicky and crisp turning. It doesn't feel like a LingYun though, it is much closer to a GuHong, it just sounds like a lingYun when you are turning - there is no gumminess, it feels fast and light. Corner cutting is ok, I think it is a bit tight to go to 45deg and the T pieces I think also reduce how far it can cut, but it will happily cut line to line. Reverse is just under a full cubie, but both forward and reverse could be improved if that's your thing. On the prototype hard cutting, either forward or reverse, deforms the center and so causes the caps to fly off, but I expect that won't happen with the production model. With the T-pieces in it is a tiny bit grabby, not locking but you can definitely feel them. There will be debate about whether it is better with or without for sure. It came in a GuHong box with LingYun stickers, but that was to be expected. Overall a very great cube, and one for those who haven't left their GuHongs for any other DaYan yet.
