I got one of these a while back out of The Works and it sucked.
However, when I was into the shop yesterday I spotted another £2.99 cube in it's place called 'Professional Magic Cube'. It looked suspiciously like my FII, but I wasn't sure what it was exactly. I decided to buy it anyway (for the price I wouldn't lose much) and I was surprised to find it was actually a pretty good cube. It feels like my FII, though it catches a bit more (this might get better with use and/or modding) and has even worse stickers, but it's pretty smooth, has pretty decent corner cutting, and I haven't tried adjusting the tension yet so I don't know if I can, but it doesn't pop on me so I don't think I need to (and my short attempt to remove the caps failed). On comparison of the pieces, the edges look a bit different, core is reasonably similar, and corners are almost identical. I will try to post some pics tomorrow if needed. Anyone else seen it/tried it? I would say it is nearly as good as the FII, so it might be worth a try if you see it around.
Sorry for the bump, but I searched first and this was the closest I found, so I figured it should go here.
