DaYan Zhanchi 2x2 Stickerless Speed Cube Puzzle, 50 mm

This purchase was worth it! Of course many people say it comes apart easily and is hard to assemble back, but it really isnt. Once you understand how the cube is built, it is not hard to assemble back and you can enjoy the cube. The cube comes lubed and is great for finger tricks. The 50mm Is meant for people who's hands are fully grown. The cube is super fragile, so if you drop It, regardless of the surface it will disassemble itself. The cube was a bit pricey, but is a worth purchase for those who enjoy a quick and easy puzzle.

This is a very fast, smooth cube. It compares to the wittwo vc and completely destroys the lan lan and shengshou. It cut corners amazingly well both normal and reverse. It is true that it is easy to pop this thing. But dont listen to the bad reviewers. If you notice, the people that complain abou th epops complain that they happen about 10 minutes into using this thing. THEY ARENT USED TO THE CUBE! This thing oonly popped on me the first few days. Now it never pops after about 3 weeks or so. When it did pop, only one ore two pieces MAX fell out. It is VERY easy to put back together. When it pops, just simply put the center inside piece in, and then just pop the others back in. VERY GOOD CUBE

The cube is very fast right out of the box, however, the lube doesn't last long. Also, the cube has exploded on me a couple times during solves. Overall, the cube is fast, it cornercuts great, and it is very easy to take apart and put back together. I am not a fast cuber, but i enjoy the cube very much.

The Zhanchi 3x3 cube is the best speed cube and I was excited to add the 2x2 to my collection. They are not built with the same basic mechanisms, however. The 3x3 is loose but never comes apart. It's sturdy and easy to turn and corner. Unlike the 3x3, you have to be extra careful solving the 2x2 aggressively as it will come apart quite easily. In fact, you can grab two pieces and give a gentle pull and they will snap right out. If you're lucky, the rest of the cube will stay together. I was not. Around the 3rd or 4th time I solved this thing, it came apart and little pieces flew all over the floor as if they were spring loaded. Here's a hot tip for putting it back together: 3 of the tiny internal pieces are special in that they have little hooks that sort of snap into little holes that hold them in place. You put these three in place first and then snap in the corner piece. Then you pray as you try to hold it all together while snapping in other pieces. Use a screwdriver in the slits on the back to push and twist the pieces into place. Then marvel as you hold your breath and snap the last corner piece into place. You rebuilt the death star! But understand that once this thing comes apart, it's never the same. My son solved it one last time and it literally exploded. This humpty dumpty cube ended up in the trash. Ironically, this is the one cube that putting it together in a solved state was far more difficult than actually solving the cube honestly.

Three stars fits this puzzle best. It is a perfect 2x2x2 to learn how to solve a 2x2x2, it moves quite easy; However, it is constructed very poorly, the pieces pop out often and it is a mess to put back together. Overall I would recommend with cube to some one 13+, or some one who would have the know-how to reconstruct the core.

This cube, in one word, is amazing. I have not modded it at all and it is extremely fast. I am a intermediate cuber, and able to get sub 30 with this cube. It can both corner cut and reverse corner cut at 45 degree angles. There are adjustable tensions, although I like the one it comes with. This cube feels loose, but not to the point of annoyance. For those of you who are interested, it can twist corners. The only downside of this cube (as a result of its loose tensions) is it can pop. This does not make it a "bad" cube, it just means be gentle and don't turn it roughly (which you shouldn't be doing in the first place). All and all, this cube is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good "pocket cube".

Out of the box the cube was quick and well tensioned. It took a little while to wipe off the lube that continued to come out but it is better than having to lube it yourself, unless that it is what you would prefer. The design itself is a double layer. The cubies on the outside are attached to zanchi style cubies on the inner layer. While this design works great it is a bitter over sophisticated and has some tendencies to lock up and pop if you enjoy cutting 40 degree angles. My only other complaint is the spring noise, I lubricated and tensioned the springs and they still made that grinding sound, it has no effect on performance but it is annoying. To make it clear I now only have that problem with one side. Other than that this is highly recommended. However, get the wittwo if you want the best 2x2 out there, I can get consistent 4 to 3 second averages with it with no explosions.

I will update if it turns out to work well eventually. I came out of the box in such a way that it broke apart on the first use by my son who is a speed cuber. And he just tried it again and it fell apart again. This has never happened with any other cube. We will hold onto it long enough to play with it and see if we can adjust it but, it was a more expensive 2x2 and I expected more from it. We will return it if it doesn't work well and update the review if it turns out to be worth the price after some use and adjustment.

Wonderful cube to have. It is 2x2. Speed is great. Moves are comfortable. Dayan is always awesome brand in cubes. Gans and moyu are other top brands to always consider for cubes.

Always wanted to learn the 2x2 coming from a 3 x 3 shen. This cube slides smoothly, and is large, but not too large. It makes my 3x3 seems small, but it just works for this cube. I have broken it once since getting it, so it is a bit more fragile than the 3 x3 after seeing the insides. It is a pain to get back into place, but not "difficult" I would say... That said, it shouldn't break too much. I actually prefer "juggling" while watching tv on this to my 3x3, as the faces are larger so I can relax a bit more. And sticker less is the only way I would go after my 3x3 experiences.

if you're a noob at setting up cubes (lube, tension etc) then don't try loosining it. it pops easy if you do it wrong

Its a great cube and if u buy it ur cubing of 2by2 rubicks cube will improove and increase

Good product, but was falling apart and required a bit of tightening post purchase
