I just got mine a couple of days ago and did nothing but put a lot of lubix in the core and outer pieces. Pretty much everyone agrees that it's one of the best 4x4s they've ever used. If anyone is at Nats tomorrow and wants to try it out, find me :p

How does it compare to the X-cube 4?
I previously had a dayan, but it just explodes almost every time I turn roughly and the Maru... well, misaligments and a lot of lock ups.
The X-cube-4 I pretty much have to be sure that it's REALLY worth it.

The SSvIII different. Much looser and not as stiff more flexable. Doesnt misalign, Doesn't pop, and locks up but not very much. If you are looking for a better 4x4 then the maru, dayan, shengshou V1, this is what you need. If you have money you need to spend and you cant think of anything else get the x cube it would be worth it. Hope this answers your question!

I love my x cube. Its one of my favorite between this and the x cube its a tie. The problem is it takes forever to break in the X cube and its hard to get it perfect. Though its possible its not easy.

Helped a lot!
In fact, I couldn't believe the price asked for the Shenshou V3 (7 dollars!) so... I might even get both.
The thing is... I do like 4x4's, but it's just unberable! I get my v5 and it's all smooth and good, than I go to my 4x4's and...YUCK!
Tall5001, keep going with the reviews! Really excellent!

[Video] Shengshou 4x4 v3 is AMAZING! -- Review


The ShengShou company did cubers a really nice favor. This cube is absolutely amazing!!! If you want to get better at 4x4, buying this would greatly help.
Doesn't Pop, Doesn't have any core misalignments!
By far the smoothest 4x4 I have ever felt.
Great Size for a 4x4.
The only small problem (this problem is so small it doesn't bother me) is that when you don't turn accurately enough the layers sometimes catch.
Buy it here:
