D-FantiX Cyclone Boys 2x2 Speed Cube Stickerless 2 by 2 Magic Cube Puzzles Toys 50mm

My son is OBSESSED with speed cubing. I'm not really sure why, but hey, kids these days, you know? I didn't even realize that speed cubing was different from regular Rubik's Cubes until we ordered this 2x2 for him (he's 8, it's a starter). WOW. This thing turns so easily compared to a regular Rubiks. It's very smooth, so my son has no trouble turning it to solve it quickly. I really like that the tiles are smooth. Most newer cubes aren't stickers anymore, but the tiles are still raised. This one has slick, normal tiles that are wide and easy for my son to hold. It really is a great starter cube for kiddos who are just beginning to get into speed cubes but maybe aren't ready for a regular sized one. Oh! And for the record, this cube withstands some serious pain. It got thrown against a wall... twice. It's still in one piece. Don't judge us.

Very smooth twists and turns. Fun and challenging. I’m really enjoying playing with my cube. Excellent quality.

Great starter cube for a beginner. Love that the colors are made of plastic vs stickers that can peel off. Our original cube was defective as the plastic pieces started coming apart, but our replacement works perfectly. Totally recommend.

I'm a 16yo speedcuber who wanted a new 2x2 to go learn CLL (which solves the last layer in one alg). The unfortunate problem is that it has bad corner cutting and seems very locky. Even after tensioning and lubing the cube parts, it still is just... okay. I might switch to the MGC.

This puzzle has worked really well. It has good corner cutting and moderate reverse corner cutting. It's a lot of fun to play with. It is also deceptively difficult if you don't have experience with puzzle cubes like the Rubik's cube. It appears easy yet is quite a challenge. However there are included instructions if you want to read them instead of figuring it out. It comes a little greasy, but that is easily fixed with a little wiping down with a cloth. All in all it's great!

Nice cube. However not a very good “speed cube.” Moved very clunky and not smooth. Still plating with the tension to see if it can be improved.

This is definitely one of those times where I expected less and got more. This Rubik's cube is solidly made and does not feel cheap at all. It has springs and a good mechanical system that feels like it will hold up after many, many uses. This is much better than the cheap dollar store or other toy Rubik's cubes. We wanted to start the kids off small before getting anything more challenging so we got the 2x2. When we are in the market to buy the larger ones, we will definitely come back and look for this same brand because of how pleased we are with this one. it goes without saying that we would definitely purchase it again.

Fun toy
