[Review] Type C IV WitLong 3x3x3

[Zyrb]

It depends on what type of feel you prefer. The C IV is not as smooth as my zhanchi, but I like it more because of that. Also before I modded it, the cube was not as good as a zhanchi, now I have modded it and in my opinion it is the best cube I have.

Hey!
I have a little request for you.
Can you take few photos showing what you do to your CIV (showing sanded corners)
Because I will be ordering one and I wanna know what to do and don't mess the cube...
I've watched CrazyBadCuber video about C-IV but don't really know what to do...
I would be very grateful if you do this.

I just got mine today. I lubed it and messed with the tensions a bit until I found good ones. At the current tensions I have it (and with my turning style) I rarely get the lock-up that people have been complaining about. It also cuts about 50 degrees, with about 30 degree reverse corner cutting.
Overall a pretty good cube, very clicky, but almost nearly matches up to my zhanchi at performance.
Though my zhanchi will likely stay as my main, I still think the WitLong is a cool, good cube. If you are interested in having one, I would just go ahead and order it. The cubicle has them really cheap ($12 including *free* shipping) and that's where I got mine - it also ships within a few days, so that was nice.

Thx for this - I've been wanting one but hadn't found where to get one... also good to know that i sounds like a good cube for my collection

I made a vid about the lockup problem and the mods I did on my cube.

Here's the thread.
