Unboxing more old cubes you probably don't care about but I do!
Daniel Evans
In this video I unbox quite a few old cubes that are not up to the standard of todays puzzles but fill gaps in my collection to show the evolution of speedcubes, I first unbox the QiYi WuXia, QiYi's 2017 flagship 2x2x2 that is not too bad compared to modern day cubes, I suspect with magnets it would be pretty competitive. I then unbox the FangShi ShiShuang which is a very weird 2x2x2 as it is 55mm in size which is only slightly smaller than most 3x3x3s today, I cannot imagine anyone liking a 55mm 2x2x2. I then get on to the FangShi ShaungRen v1 and v2, both cubes have very good anti-pop mechanisms and probably contributed significantly to the standard expectation that 3x3x3s basically will not pop today unless you want them to. I then go onto the DaYan LingYun, DaYan's 3rd 3x3x3 release, what I suspect was an attempt to improve on the DaYan GuHong but it largely failed to do so, it may also be the first time torpedoes have been used. Finally I unbox two old MoYu 5x5x5s; the Huanchuang and the WeiChuang GTS, I suspect these were decent for their time but certainly don't stack up against even the non-magnetic budget cubes today such as the meilong 5x5x5 and QiZheng S.
The cube is fine - nice and smooth, nothing wrong with that.
Still, the only thing it can do in the "smart" mode is scramble; as soon as you get it out of the robot, the app just loses the cube, and the timer shows a completely solved cube, rendering all the extra money you paid for the "smart" features almost completely useless.
Excellent customer service. when I emailed, i got a response back quite QUICKLY. The guy was quite helpful, and answered any questions I had.
Unfortunately, due to the low quality part, the spare piece I had ordered broke after a month or so. However, this isn't the fault of speedcubing.org in the slightest. Simply a cheaply made part.
I would highly recommend this site.
