Review of my current speedcube, the Brains Cube

The Brains Cube

My friends have asked what kind of cube do I use, why is it so smooth and where can they get one. So I hope this review answers those questions, and others you may ask in the future.

This is my current speedcube. Yes I know it looks like a China made cube, which IS true. I've faced with many horrid China - made cubes, but however, this cube is an exception. This cube is well worth my 5 SGD.

First of all, let's get to the cons of this Brains Cube(which is what the manufacturer called it). Well, there is ONLY 1 PROBLEM with this cube, which is pleasantly surprising from a country that's notorious for it low-quality products. THE STICKERS ARE CRAPPY. In the first 3 solves you'll have some stickers FLYING(not just peeling)off this cube. I've replaced the stickers after 5 days of solves - the cube was orange(think about it).

So now it's the pros. This cube is just awesome. You'll be satisfied whether you're a speedcuber or just someone random solver.

First, the cubies have a pretty sui generis colour - orange, instead of your usual black or white. (as seen on left)












The turning of this cube is perfect. It feels natural to turn, and your hands or wrists(or both)won't get tired even after 500+ solves(with breaks of about 20 secs in between each solve). It was pre-lubed with silicone spray, meaning to say the manufacturer wasn't lazy to lube the cube before selling. So you shouldn't touch your container of vaseline or can of silicone for this puzzle.

The ability to cut corners for this cube is superb. You'll have no problems cutting 35 to 44 degree turns. How cool is that? Really helps for speedsolves. (see right)

It's a speedcube!

The best part is that it's a speedcube! Screws are adjustable to the cuber's liking, but for me, I'll just stay with the tightness of the screws when I bought the cube.

So if you ask me, ultimately this a cube you WANT to try getting. It's has only 1 minor flaw and with so many plus points, I'll say it's worth my cash.

Score : 4.8 out of 5

Where to get : There is no specific location, but I guess the provision shops near the HDB estates should carry this product.

Price : 5 SGD to 7 SGD
