MoYu WeiSu 4x4x4 Speed Cube (10 Testers Selected!)

Just got mine from hknowstore today (a white one), took only 10 days from ordering.
Done about 30 solves so far (timed/untimed)
Some first thoughts
  • Best 4x4 out of the box.
  • Some what small stickers, 11½mm vs. 12½mm normally, but same good quality as the other MoYu cubes.
  • A little lose factory tensioned for me.
 
collinboxyz, nice video!

I just got mine today. I have done 30 solves so far. I am not really excited as most people about the Weisu I think. It does not cut corner as much as my ShengShou and it is a lot slower than my Shengshou (v3). I like how smooth it is. It does absolutely not lock up. I guess it needs more breaking in. I sure will not use it at competition tomorrow ;) Just did two Ao5's: Weisu 3.04 ShenShou 2.34

Wow, Marcel... I'm surprised you don't like the Weisu that much. I thought you mostly liked all new cubes and said they were awesome. But maybe you just need to break in your Weisu. I think most people say it gets better after a couple hundred solves.

LOL.. Well I try to be honoust about cubes..

I have done over 100 solves now and my entry for the weekly contest is a PB. So yeah, like Mark said, I should just persevered a bit more before shouting out it is not 'awesome' ;)

I should have my video up for Thursday. I meant to have it today, but didn't finish it. Marcel, I hated this cube at first, but after about 100 solves, it got really good. I feel like the tensions could be tweaked a bit more, but I'm afraid to mess with it because one or two of the screw heads are almost completely stripped.
 
The review is here. If you don't really care about my usual beginning BS, just skip to 7:15, however, I suggest to start from the start to get the full effect of the video:

nice review, xxoxia. love the pre-review banter. "MOYU BAHKS!"
just a tip for not stripping screwheads.. Philips screwdrivers tend to slip and blow out the "X" hole which makes the screw super hard to grip. I use flathead screwdrivers for tensioning since it rarely slips especially when it starts to get tight.
Also, it fits into the gaps of even sized cubes better without damaging the corners of the center pieces.

Hahah, thanks man. And, I don't know why I never thought to use a flat head for even cubes. My 4x4's, I usually just shove the driver in between the centers and hope they don't break, haha, or I use the red ring from the X cube, which never really works. However, the screw with my WeiSu was stripped before I ever opened it. It's like whoever assembled it, stripped it.
 
Hello, I'm new to cubing, especially speed cubing and would like it if somebody could help me lube my weisu. Sorry, but i can't find a nice video tutorial on youtube.
