ShengShou Mr. M 3x3

Bought a set of these for a school club. So far, they are performing well and handling the rigours of 7-11yr olds without a problem. They're quite smooth and feel of decent quality. Probably not up to the standard of pro' cubing, but I feel they are exceptional value at the price. And customer service from Kewbz was outstanding - thanks for your help and advice, Hollie. A pleasure to deal with!

I bought a pair of these to practice my algorithms with, as I'm just progressing to speed cubing. These 'Mr M' cubes are not bad, by any means, but they're also not the best cubes at this price point. One thing I noticed immediately was that the magnets 'click' nicely on 2 of the 'axes', but are almost silent on the third(!), which clearly shows they're built down to a budget. They do turn VERY smoothly and corner-cut well, but were set up VERY loosely out of the box. (They are more stable now I've tightened down the centre screws, though). Kewbz.co.uk were fine to deal with, and offered fast delivery, but if I'm honest, I would probably go with a different cube if I bought at this end of the market again. (I wish I'd read more reviews!). Also, Kewbz didn't have the 'Stickerless Bright' version in stock, which wasn't ideal, as I usually buy cubes without stickers, as colour recognition is easier. In summary, not bad by any means, but certainly not the best, either.

Out of the box this cube felt clunky, industrial - my first thought was 'messy'. It didn't feel 'clean', like a QiYi MS for example. It wasn't really a contender for use at all, and I was going to set it aside but decided to do some work on it.

After a little while adjusting tensions and applying the lube, the cube actually came out OK. It still feels very solid and clunky, but it's a lot smoother now. And the magnets make a great 'click' when they engage which is very satisfying.

Considering it's cheaper than an official Rubiks, it's pretty decent value for money. But there are better cubes available for just a few pounds more. Good to have for the collection, and I do use it to get a 'unique' cube feel
