Rubik's Re-Cube

Thos is my first cube sense I had the original when gowing up in the 80s. What a difference in about 45 years. This cube is so smooth, designed stickerless and looks really good, colors are vibrant and. Cube is pretty tight with really smooth motion. Have had a tone of fun with it and you can easy turn with very low kinetic energy. One finger no problem. Love it going to expand my collection but this little cube gets a special little stand on its own.

I didn’t read the description carefully when I placed the order and incorrectly thought it would remain totally black as an impossible puzzle, essentially as a fidget toy. As I touched and rotated the sides, I noticed the color changes. Super cool! The fact that it shifts back to black after a couple of minutes is just awesome. Reality check: the cube is no more a challenge this way, because the colors remain vibrant if it remains in your hands. There’s no “rush” to solve it before the colors fade to black. Still it’s cool. The manufacturer has really improved this since I played with the original decades ago. The movements are smooth and I expect this to last a long time.

PROS: 1. Inexpensive. 2. Stand is a nice bonus for display. People who come to my house, will always pick it up and play with it when they see it. 3. Perfect for hours, days, even months of fun...definitely the best investment for the money. 4. High quality. I have been using it for months now and it is still working great (though the "Rubik's Cube symbol" on the center white square is starting to fade off). CONS: 1. Not really a con, but while this is a super smooth cube, it is not a speed-cube like that you see real experts use. You can easily make it into a speed cube for the best solving times by using it a lot and using silicone lubricant spray to make it really slippery. 2. Again, not really a con, but the white center has a "Rubik's Cube" emblem and that is starting to fade off after months of use. It does not affect the functionality of the cube itself. 3. Again, a non-con, but in certain low light situations, I find it difficult to differentiate the yellow pieces from the white pieces. Under low yellow (warm) light, the white looks more yellowish and that makes the two colors hard to tell apart. Just remember to solve the cube in decent lighting and this is not a problem (unless you can do it blindfolded, in which case, it is definitely not a problem). It's been a long time since first solved the cube. I still have my older one but it is a mess now...very sticky and difficult to move the pieces. I wanted a "speed cube" and though this isn't it, it is pretty darn close. The more you use it the smoother and quicker it gets. A little silicone spray also did wonders and it is fast and easy to move. I don't do the modified CFOP technique for the best times (all speed-cubers use it but I simply don't have the time to memorize 100+ algorithms right now...maybe later), but slowly and surely the old basic system/technique I developed in the late 70's or early 80's (I don't remember exactly when...I was just a kid back then) came back to me and I can solve the cube using that method in under 1 minute now. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants something to play with, challenge themselves to try to get better and better times, and, in general, have hours of fun for as little money as possible. This is definitely the best investment (for a money/time value) I have made in decades. Just think about it. Most games, you get tired of in a couple of hours. Most video games last one day. Some really good ones last a week and some online games that are constantly upgraded last longer, but you pay through your nose for those games. For a just a few bucks, this is a toy you can play with for hours, days, weeks, months on end...again, the best entertainment investment you can have. Challenge your friends to beat your scores...everyone who is new to my house and sees the cube immediately start playing with it and eventually ask if I can do it and when I say yes, they want me to because they are still amazed at how someone can solve it. This is a definite buy! Go for it!

The phantom cube is just as described and works great! The heat from your fingers reveals the colors on the cube. Its very cool, and my son has really been enjoying it. We have not any issues with it!

I was expecting the colors to disappear almost immediately, which would make the cube more challenging. But in reality, the colors take some time to fade. By the time they start disappearing, you can already solve it like a regular cube. So for me, it didn’t feel as challenging as I thought it would be. It’s still fun to use and definitely a unique idea, but not very difficult if you already know how to solve a normal cube. That said, it looks really cool and feels like a good quality product. It can be a great gift for kids or even adults who enjoy puzzles, mainly for the fun and different experience rather than a tough challenge.

Great for your mind. Better than word puzzles

Playability is 10/10 I can pick this up day or night and entertain my self. Value is great due to its more expensive in stores generally. Difficulty is pretty hard I have only solve the 2x2 ones . Speed is high it’s easy to turn and very clean turning . Appearance is brand new as is and functions as expected . Fits in my pocket bring any wear completely portable

I bought this cube for my little brother, and he really liked it. It has been a fun way for him to stay entertained while also learning something new and challenging himself. The cube turns smoothly, and the colors are clear and easy to recognize, which makes it more enjoyable to use. I liked that it is something fun that also keeps him away from screens for a while. Overall, it was a great purchase for a child his age.

Tres bonne qualité

Durable & genuine product. Fun to work with & to fidget when needed! Good brain simulation.

Tolles Spielzeug für Rubiks und Tetris Liebhaber

Sin duda una compra que puedes hacer con los ojos cerrados. Al ser el producto original recibes calidad y la seguridad de tener una experiencia agradable con el cubo. En la página oficial podrás encontrar la documentación del cubo la cual es 100% compatible ya que la distribución de colores y el orden es exactamente como se describe en el sitio web. Si eres principiante mi recomendación es comprar el producto original ya que eso te permitirá seguir muchos de los manuales y tutoriales que hay en la web. No sé si esto sea relevante pero el paquete es un tanto austero, no esperes recibir una caja bonita como lo verías en un supermercado, en su lugar viene en una bolsa sellada la cual se encuentra dentro de una caja de cartón, no obstante los logos de la marca se pueden ver en todas partes y en lo personal el empaquetado es lo menos importante ya que yo solo buscaba un producto original y de buena calidad que no se trabe al momento de usarlo.

Awesome cube, great idea and works really well unlike other Rubik's cubes. The action is smooth on this one, really nice
