Different kind. The one in the video there are 2 shared layers, the one that is for sale only has one shared layer.

To make the one with one shared layer, there is indeed cutting involved. If you are careful you could probably do it without the milliput/apoxie sculpt.

This is how Nathan did it.

Why wouldn't you just take out 2 corners and an edge and then glue the other cube into that gap?

Because then only the outer layer of one of the cubes would turn. I remember making one in college by cutting each piece in half and then gluing its other half onto it

According to my research I have a strong hunch that YuXin is doing something to their YLM 6x6 and 7x7. Maybe just a small change in the factory or something but lets see

Edit: Im talking abt the nonmagnetic one

I saw something but it might have been the kylin series. Whatcha see.

If cube marketing is anything like smartphones, then it totally makes sense.

Might as well be the same marketing. Because a new smartphone like a new cube is hardly better than last year's model. Actually coincidentally both smartphones and speedcubes developed around the same time.

Is there any source for this, it wouldn't surprise me as they did that with the ylm 3x3 last year.

You're all over-thinking this. It's easy to make and is a pretty trivial mod. You take two corners off one cube and an edge piece off the other, then slot the remaining edge piece into the gap between the two remaining corners. Glue the two contact surfaces to make a fused 1x1x3 block, reassemble and you're done. The only thing you might want to do is cut/sand the edge off the edge piece since otherwise it will probably press against the bases of the two corner pieces and prevent a tight fit. I've made lots of these and once you know what you're doing it's a 15-minute job.

I have a distinct sense of woosh. I just don't see how it's different from cutting pieces in half and then glueing those together.

Lets's pop out the pieces of cube 1, and glue cube 2 onto the missing pieces. What are you glueing it to? The M or E slice of cube 1 right? Well those are now glued and can't move.

Although Resipol2 seems to be on to something!

I own one like that as well. It definitelyis far easier to make, but on mine, one cube without the corner anchors tends to flex a good bit. Though perhaps that is the 3x3 I used.

Because then the cube you took the corners and edges out of would be mostly bandaged. The middle layers could never turn, but they can on the one I made. Perhaps I'm not explaining it well.

Regardless, I'm excited to see the cubicle stocking this. They have had the 3 cube version for a while. They have been mass produced and available on other sites for years now

Do note that Qiyi are fairly strict with their advertising, and sCs and TheCubicle were likely not allowed to mention any other companies when talking about the cube in their videos, we've seen the same thing in some of Shawn's Qiyi videos.

Smartphone companies will send a youtuber a phone for a first impressions video. Literally all they are allowed to do is unbox, and look at the phone, and talk about it. Can't even turn it on. Then after the phones been out a couple weeks, THEN you can get actual proper reviews.

If you choose to sign a contract that requires you to look like a fool, do you get to complain when other people point out that you do look like a fool? I don't know whether there's an actual contract or if it's just a verbal agreement, but same principle regardless. I don't care what the "norm" is when it comes to companies providing early releases to reviewers; I'm just saying that it's stupid.

Cubicle's first impressions video doesn't make the same two mistakes I pointed out (Phil mentioned nothing about the shades or sound), and I think I was pretty explicit in saying that SCS isn't the only review channel guilty of this.

Apparently the Qiyi mini cube with extremely basic internals IS a new release:

QiYi Mini 3x3 (3.0cm)

The QiYi Mini 3x3 is a 30mm, fully functional puzzle with very smooth turning. Throw it in your pocket or purse and have a puzzle with you all the time!

www.thecubicle.com

Also Yuxin just released their YLM 10x10 and 11x11

YuXin Little Magic 10x10

The YuXin Little Magic 10x10 is a high order puzzle that features vibrant stickerless bright shades, smooth turning, and the high quality build we have come to expect from YuXin.

www.thecubicle.com

YuXin Little Magic 11x11

The YuXin Little Magic 11x11 is a new massive puzzle from YuXin. This is the second 11x11 in their line-up and bears fantastic YuXin big cube quality at a lower price.

www.thecubicle.com

I recently got the above 10x10 & 11x11, unfortunately I neglected to order hands the size of dinner plates to handle them.

Seriously though, they have smooth turning on all layers, and feel very stable - no pops so far.

I have the Qiyi mini (pillowed) keychain cube and it's actually really good. Smooth and easy turning.
