-It is fast,
-Stable. Very stable
-Controlable.
-Does not pop
-Smooth
-No cornertwists possible

Downside:
-no.. nothing so far

I think this cube is better than any YJ (SuLong, ChiLong, YuLong) or better than MoYo HuangYing and LiYing. It is right up there with the Weilong. It is too early to tell if it will beat my Weilong. So far I think this is an awesome cube.

After using this cube for 24 hours I must say it is truely a delight to solve this cube. The best way to describe the cube is a mix between Weilong and Fangshi ShuangRen. It is slightly slower than a Weilong (about same speed as a very good ShuanRen) making it more controllable, but it has the light/airy feeling of a ShuangRen. I am surprised that no marketing is done about this cube. It is really up there with the best of the best.

Yeah I usually wait for Zcube to stock a cube, as their packaging is so much more robust than any other store, but recently it has been taking them forever to get new cubes.

If you look that the beginning of the video you can see the cube is wrapped in bubble plastic. That package would have survived World War Three.

Yeah I saw another unboxing video from Cubezz where the package came in a box. So I ordered some and they came in a bag. I don't trust bags, even if padded, as I've received cubes crushed before. I've bought from Zcube many times and they always ship in a box, so that's why I stick with them.

Where/when it was purchased: The Wityou V2 was given to me as a gift by one of my friends for my birthday. Not sure where he got it from.

First Impressions: Worst cube ever. Stock tensions were horrendous. Some sides were way too tight to turn, some sides were so loose the screw popped out. Once lubed, everything changed.

Speed:
This cube is very fast. In fact, it may be a little too fast for some. Some weight 5 lube in the pieces may help.

Feel:
This cube feels crispy/crunchy and also has a hint of scratchiness.. Sort of like a yulong/fangshi mix.

Corner cutting:
More than 45 degrees standard, 3 quarters of a cubie reverse. Cuts really easily.

Lockups: Due to the speed of the cube, it has locked up on me. Again, slowing it down with more lube should solve this.

Pops: None. The spherical plates inside work well.

Misc: The stickers are rather dull. I recommend replacing them. The center caps don't seem to be very well stuck. They pop off easily when doing a extreme corner cut. Occasionally pops off during solves. No corner twists due to the huge corner base.

Conclusion: This cube is one of the top cubes IMO, and I'm surprised that its very underrated (in this case, underrated means lack of ratings). It's nice to see that witeden has improved their 3x3s from the horrendous witlong to this. Gj witeden.

I first got this cube at the cubicle around 2 months ago.

Pros:
This cube is fast and a little bit crispy feel to it which i really like.
It is unpopable and doesn,t lock up a lot either. The corner cutting is also really nice.
Middle slices on this are excellent. Corner twists don't happen either.
The stickers are nice quality and has a really good blue.

Cons:
the center caps fall out a lot.

Unfortunately for me the core is broken and I have to get a new core.

overall very good cube. keep in mind though that I'm a 27 second solver and the only other cubes i have are an
Aurora, Lunhui, Feiwu, Zhanchi, and a Rubik's Brand.

I approve. Mine had a c4u core and never had an issue.
