Products

2x2x2 Cube

Contain a screw-spring structure (which is uncommon in 2x2's), so they can actually cut corners really well. However, they are said not to turn as well as a well broken in Eastsheen 2x2x2.

Maru 3x3x3

Mini 3x3x3

A very small cube measuring 30mm each side. It is reported by many to be too small for speedcubing, but may suit cubers with very small hands. Small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket, making it ideal as a travel cube. The cube its self is fairly good quality considering its size, with smooth turning and good resistance to pops.
