GoodPlay Yuxin Little Magic 3x3 Speed Cube Yuxin 3x3x3 Magic Cube Brain Training Toy Black Puzzle Cube

I have bought probably 2 dozen cubes. Even had a few customized for kicks.I can do basic cube lubrication and tension adjustments on my own.Here is a list of some I've bought and tried just here on Amazon.YJ GuanLongMoFang JiaoShi MF3RSQiyi Warrior WYJ Moyu Weilong PlusYj Moyu ChilongFangshi Shuang Ren V2Dayan ZhanchiMoyu Aolong V2Dayan GuhongMoYu YJ WeilongHasbro Rubik's CubeShengShou Aurora v3Winning Moves Rubik's CubeMost are "budget cubes" under $10. A few are around $20.If I am not thrilled by a cube after a while, I usually give it away to someone who is interested in cubing.I'll point them to the 'You Can Do The Cube dot com' site and tell them to practice for a few weeks.The worst were the Winning Moves and Hasbro cubes.Those two were slower than the designs in the 80s so I threw them both in the trash. Waste of money.I usually have 5 or 6 cubes scattered around. My desk at work, in my bedroom, car, etc.My average solve time is around 60 seconds, so I am no world class cuber.That all is my bone fides to say the 'Yuxin Little Magic' is easily the best value I've seen in a puzzle cube at under $10.Decent colors (classic primary colors, not florescent). VERY smooth out of the box. Hasn't popped on me.Corner cuts well (for me) with no lockups. The 'YLM' is easily better than several of the $20 range cubes I've bought.If there was one thing I would change it would be to tweak the color scheme for better low-light recognition.I often practice in pretty dim lighting for various reasons. In regular lighting, these colors look great.In low light, the red and orange are very hard to tell apart.I might swap the primary orange with florescent orange to see how that looks.I know that worrying about solving in dim light may seem odd to many, but cubing is a cheaper hobby than something like golf - and the equipment is a lot more portable.Some advice to a few of you out there: Stop worrying about the 'perfect' beginner's cube.Any of the ones I listed -except maybe the 2 official Rubiks' 'licensed' ones that I threw in the trash- can probably get you to a ~60 second solve or faster.The bottleneck up to 60 seconds is almost always your technique these days, not the puzzle.If nothing else, just drill the cross until it takes seconds and build from there.Sometimes you might need to adjust the tension/springs or add a little *light* silicone oil one one of the listed cubes (aside from the licensed ones) to hit that 60 second mark, but that is about it.I would personally recommend 30k Traxxas oil over 50k Traxxas oil for a beginner because you will almost certainly end up using too much and 50k Traxxas will make your cube "gummy" if too much is used.Too much in this case means more than 2 or 3 drops in the core for the whole cube.You will think you need more 50k oil and you will almost always be be wrong.If you ever use too much oil, disassemble the whole cube, wipe as much of the oil off as you can and reassemble it.You will probably need *several* clean, disposable towels or rags to clean the excess oil off.In short, if you are looking for a 'best of breed' for under $10 then the 'Yuxin Little Magic' probably holds the crown as of late 2019. It hits all of the highlights at a great price point.Once you hit a consistent ~60 second solve with the 'Beginner's Method' (youcandothecube dot com) and maybe know a few F2L tricks on a $7 puzzle, then you might be experienced enough to worry about things like $40 cubes with magnets or stuff like that.Have fun!

It’s the new craze at school! My son has bought so many of these. He really liked it

Takes all kinds of abuse, keeps spinning. Love it!

Good cube, but stickers were damaged

My child finds it easy to click the cubes.

It’s good

not match with product description and not the same as shown in the seller’s picture! i think this is not a speed cube! thanks anyway!

Very smooth

The media could not be loaded.  Yuxin Little Magic (Black - Stickered)Lightweight fast turning with buttery smooth feel and a slight crunch. The turning experience is very satisfying.Average corner cutting - 45 degrees forwards and half a piece reverse.Layers move fluidly and lock ups are rare. No popping or corner twisting issues.Loose tensions make the cube flimsy but on tightening the turning is moderately fast with good control and stability.Cons:1)Poor sticker quality - Stickers are paper based instead of vinyl.2)No factory lube

The cube itself is amazing, and really smooth, but it's stickers are bad, to say the least, just after 2 weeks of (rigorous) usage, eh stickers were almost peeling. But value for money of this cube is amazing, and you could buy this cube, and then buy stickers from Cubelelo.

The media could not be loaded.  Feels very close to a GAN cube!It's smooth crispy and a bit loud, corner cutting is better than I expected (45 deg forward and reverse both are good) pieces do not twist while speedsolving, I love the color scheme (brightness wise It's between dayan and moyu's shades)It's really fast! I love the speed and it's quite controllable for me, got it for 210 + 40 on Amazon

its quality is not good as expected for price , better products are avaliable for the same price

What do you say about this?? It has just been 9 days since i've ordered this cube and it has shown its real form. The corner cutting is nice but the build quality is very poor. I just want to throw it in garbage.....Such a waste for money... Its better to buy stickerless instead of stickered....
