2x2x2 Puzzle Cube, Black

I keep a few cubes and other puzzles in my classroom. They are the best fidget because they keep the students engaged and thinking critically.

My son is one of these guru's when it comes to logic puzzles. He had what I thought was all the Rubix type cube puzzles. I was wrong. When he said he wanted the 2x2x2, I was perplexed. I mean how hard can this be really? Well, coming from someone who doesn't understand the algorithms, I assumed you solved this one just like the 3x3x3. Oops! Apparently not. It's a new set of algorithms to master, to train your mind with and fingers to rip through as quickly as possible. Apparently to my son, it's not just about solving it as it is about speed and consistency. In any case, oh boy did he love it! He has played and played with this little devil and loves it. He said it's a good change to the traditional cube puzzle and he loves to throw it into the mix.My son has used this for hours and hours and hours. It's solid. The stickers are bright and secure. No slipping of stickers. The individual cubes stay in place and don't pop out unexpectedly either. It's a great choice for the price point.If you or a family member love cube puzzles then definitely buy this. They will love it! it's a challenge, unique and super fun. I purchased this using Amazon Prime so it came very quickly. It was a slick online transaction. I love Amazon Prime.

The cube is as described. The stickers do not peel off (I will update review if this changes) but the overall cube works very smoothly. It doesn't stall and is well made for a beginner.Cons: Not good for pro's (speed cubing) because the keys don't turn with a simple flip. It is too sturdy and you can only manually turn them....

If you want a solid, cheap rubik's cube, get this. If you want a solid speed cube, look elsewhere.PROS:- This Japanese cube is better than the Rubik's brand 2x2.- This cube is cheaper than the Rubik's brand 2x2.- (compared to the old Rubik's 2x2) This cube turns much smoother.- (compared to the new Rubik's 2x2) In addition to turning smoother, this cube can be disassembled (for lubing) and has screws (for tensioning). If you don't know what lubing and tensioning are then this probably won't matter to you.CONS:- The corner cutting on this cube is awful. In other words, you have to line up each face exactly before you turn the next one. It technically doesn't make a difference unless you're speed cubing, but once you try a top-notch cube you'll never want to go back.- Just my personal preference, but the color scheme isn't too great. It's the standard ShengShou color scheme, and you can order replacements online for a few bucks. Again, not a big deal.If you're tight on money and only interested in learning to solve the 2x2, at this price this is your #1 option. On the other hand, if you think you may be interested in speed cubing anytime in the future, for just a few more dollars you can get a much better cube (such as the Dayan Zhanchi 2x2).

JUNK do not buy it falls apart as soon as you get it out of the box cheap made product they want you to return it which i did now they refuse give me back my money SCAM SCAM SCAM

I ordered this 2x2 thinking I could solve it. Wrong. Not the manufacture error, but mine...lol. I found this to be very high quality, not cheaply made at all. The movement is easy and the individual cubes don't move all around like the cheaper ones. It's also good to fidget with while figuring out what to clean next in the garage. Good fidget holder thingy.

all good

I teach mathematics and recently required one specific class to buy minicubes. I personally bought several brands and styles to test them out and this little cube is the most loved by the most students (and other people too)! It's price has been fluctuating between $3.99 and $4.41 and sometimes is an add-on item. I don't know why they keep wiggling that price around, but it's all the same to me. It's the best for the price! I personally like the Rubik's brand (which is also more expensive) better, but I prefer the tightness of that cube. Roughly 70% of the people I ask, based on feel alone, prefer this cube to Rubik's, saying it's easier to turn and smooth.
