CuberSpeedCuberSpeed Twist 3x3 stickerelss Speed Cube

I saw this Twist 3x3 stickerless cube and thought it looked like a wonderful variation on the traditional 3x3 puzzle cube. It arrived in a day in a very unassuming package. I solved it a couple times already and really enjoy the added challenge of getting the pieces aligned. It solves like the traditional 3x3, but may take you a little longer for your first solve. For my third solve I encountered a parity error where one of the middle cubes is reversed. I believe this just adds to the challenge.The cube is not as sturdy as many of my other cubes and I attribute that to the twist in the design. This does not bother me because I am careful when twisting. If not solved, I doubt it would survive a drop on a hard floor. There are just too many angles where if hit could cause it to break.I would hesitate to call this a speed cube as you have to make sure you align the pieces accurately before twisting. It will not fall apart twisting against the alignment, but I can see how one solid twist without the correct alignment might turn it into a handful of pieces. It is also somewhat challenging because your fingers and seek purchase on a flat surface and the twist adds another dimension of tactile surface causing some misalignment. This just requires a slight adjustment to accommodate the difference.I still give this cube 5 stars as despite the fact it is more fragile than a typical stickerless speed cube, it is well crafted, and as long as you do not drop it or twist against the alignment will provide a fun challenge to your puzzle cube collection or make a nice challenging gift.

I bought this for my grandson who is a Rubik’s cube whiz, and he loved it.

This variation produces two important changes.1) the orientation of the center pieces on layer 2 becomes important, making the puzzle a tiny bit harder for the standard solution2) the orientation of the edge pieces on layer 2 becomes unimportant, making the puzzle a tiny bit easier.It was nice having to think about a cube in a novel way, since I haven't stepped into creative speed solutions yet. The solved puzzle feels nice because the facets are twisted and 2D planes stretched air 3D manifolds are inherently pleasing. But it's also much harder to resist an unsolved puzzle because there are jagged pieces all over itThe stems of the pieces are just a tiny bit rubbery so you can give the solved puzzle a little squeeze which feels nice, but i don't know if the manufacturer would like that. The down side is the jutting pieces can get kinda snapped out and rotated, resulting in an unsolvable puzzle. But it's also very easy to fix, you just rotate the piece back and that feels great too.This puzzle is not appropriate for speed cubing. But it's very appropriate for wistfully pondering the nature of shapes and space and having a great time. It's probably my favorite cube.

Well I got this product thinking it was a squishy cube that’s why it was twisted but it’s designed that way that wasn’t a problem and after solving the original cube a lot of times I found it has some differences lining up the centers is a bit hard first you gotta memorize or look at a completed cube to know which side goes in the left or right of the color then solve the cube as normal the top layer is kinda weird I haven’t been able to find a solution besides taking one from the middle layer and putting it back now to my title watch for flips I know when solving the top layer I had three pieces (besides the cross) one wasn’t in the right spot turns out when either scrambling or solving the corner flipped on me but wasn’t to bad to flip back then completing the cube I’m not sure if I’m just lucky a lot or maybe I’m not doing it right when the cube is solved one center pieces as went the wrong way and that one you can’t flip like the corner piece that I mentioned that one is locked into place I found out how to fix it butbottom line on the challenge of solving the original is boring after solving it it has like a one little step harder with this cube

Fast and Easy... Everything received as advertised.

This is a great cube, and its non-traditional shape means that it's harder to solve. You can mostly solve it, but if not done correctly you can get what appear to be parity errors. I haven't spent enough time with the cube to know if they're true parity errors (basically happen when 2 or more edges either look identical or could be placed in any orientation). This means when you get nearer the end, things don't solve properly (like one edge is out of place and you can't figure out why. Also, four of the center squares have two colors, which adds another wrinkle. It's an enjoyable cube, and a novel one.The cube itself is OK constructionwise. I did pop out a piece and had to reassemble it (easy enough). I think the design makes it prone to this and it's not shoddy. I think one has to solve it carefully though, not a speed cube but the action is smooth and agreeable.Finally, I really prefer stickerless cubes and this one is all good there.In summary - a great cube or gift for the person who already has way too many cubes because it is different from the usual cube. It's inexpensive and I am very glad that I purchased it.

Cool puzzle but isnt the easiest to turn..it's still worth buying for the price

My son collects different style Rubiks Cubes and different brands.He was so excited to get this Cuberspeed!He hasn't put it down! And he brings it to school to show his friends as well as his Gma and Grandpa's house to show them!
