WHAT SEPARATES A SUPERB SPEED CUBE FROM A BASIC ONE?
Read below about the important features of each Speed cube
surface
STICKER VS STICKERLESS
Cubes WITH STICKERS are much more likely to be damaged and wear out much faster. In addition, their surface is often more likely to get scratches and other damages.
While
STICKERLESS speed cubes are much more durable, provide better grip and they look way more attractive!

MECHANIsM
BASIC
If you pull standard Rubik`s cube apart you will see that the spine of the device is the 6 central squares that define the color of each side. The mechanism consists also of 8 corners pieces and a further 12 off edge pieces.
A mechanism was quite impressive for the times it was invented but with today’s technology, we know there are better options on the market with better overall performance.
MECHANIsM
ADVANCED
Advanced mechanisms are much more complicated and thus allow the cube to move faster during assembly. With cubes with good mechanical properties, slightly more experienced cubers can also perform so-called “corner cutting”. That means that they can make a turn before completing a previous turn and, so they can perform faster movements.
MAGNETS
Speed Cubers want to improve as much as possible, to achieve new records and best personal times of solving.
HOW DO MAGNETS HELP THEM WITH THAT?
The improved design now uses magnets to add stability and act as a positioning system, to help align the Cube for the next twists and less jamming during rotation. Some more advanced speed cubes have even adjustable hardness of magnets as you manually set the distance between them.

ADJUSTING
For fast cubes, we can adjust the hardness of rotation, the tightness of the joints, and for some more advanced ones, the hardness of the magnets too. The settings are very important in achieving better results and are usually adjusted according to the needs of the cuber.
ADJUSTING
Almost all settings are done manually with a screwdriver but cubes are meant to be set in different ways, so it is necessary to get to know the setting system a bit before the optimal results.
CARING FOR THE CUBE
Every Speed Cube also needs good care. Good care can be achieved through optimal settings, regular lubrication, and appropriate use.
With regular maintenance of the cube, you will extend its lifetime and
make conditions for good results.

TECHNOLOGY
TIMERS
Timers are intended to measure your cube assembly time. They have excellent sensors so we can measure even the most peak times without the inconvenience of errors. So that`s how you can use the results to monitor your progress.
TECHNOLOGY
SMART CUBES
With Smart Cubes you can connect to your mobile or desktop devices via the Bluetooth interface and then benefit from many application advantages. With Smart cubes, you can freely solve the cube and during that time even track your personal records, train, compete with other users of the application, you can invite friends, and compete with them, and more…
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
In order to make it easier for you to identify the different properties of the cubes, we made our own review for each Speed Cube, so you have an easier job when looking for the most suited Cube for you!

OVERALL PERFORMANCE: this is a total assessment that includes all of the features listed below. All reviews are made by our Speed cube expert and are based on many usage cases.
SMOOTHNESS OF ROTATION: This feature describes level of rotation smoothness. The higer it is, the smooter are moves durring use. For better performance, we recommend the use of lubes!
DURABILITY OF SURFACES: With this feature, we take into account type of material, surfaces, and wear of materials.
ROTATION MECHANISM: The level of rotation mechanism depends on the type of the mechanism, materials that are used, advanced technology, and type of adjustment for rotation hardness (the last one only applies to the marked Cubes).
CORNER CUTTING: This is a special feature known by more experienced Cubers. It is a possibility to use »shortcuts« during rotation, so you save some time and make faster moves. The level of this feature depends mainly on the type of rotation mechanism, materials, and level of adjusted rotation hardness. For better performance, we recommend the use of lubes!
SPEED: This feature describes how fast you can move a cube during solving. That indeed depends on the smoothness of rotation and the possibility to »cut corners« but is more than that. With a fast cube, the right adjustments, and regulary usage of lubes, you can set your new personal record.
POSITIONING MAGNETS SYSTEM: Those are magnets in the Speed cube mechanism for positioning your cube layers in the right position.
ADJUSTABLE ROTATION HARDNESS: This is the ability to adjust the hardness of rotation, which is enabled by special screws in the cube mechanism.
CONNECTABLE TO THE MOBILE APP: This feature is available on smart cubes, where you can connect to your smartphone and the app on it, and later monitor results and improve yourself.
GUARANTEE OF FUN DURING USE: This is a special guarantee for fun.
