This speed cube is just amazing. Have used so many different cubes, this one is really really smooth. I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend this Read more

Everything you've heard about the Tornado V3 is true. Silly smooth, won't crumble on you (sturdy), fast, slides right into place, lightweight, and excellent control. This is my main cube, and it's priced a bit better than I expected even. Worth every penny. Read more

Although the Qiyi X-Man Tornado v2 3x3 cube has been my favorite since I first bought it, I still have other cubes that I liked equally or at least almost as much, like the Dayan Tengyun v2, Gan 356X v2, and even my rather pricey Gan 356XS custom modified/coated by SpeedCubeShop. I would typically rotate through these cubes (and even use some older Moyu GTS3 and WRM cubes) when practicing. There just wasn't a single cube (not even my rather pricey custom Gan) that offered everything I wanted. When maglev first came out I definitely wanted to try it, but I really didn't feel like overpaying (a fortune) for Gan's version, and the two Moyu offerings just didn't impress me at all. When I saw this QiYi X-Man Tornado v3 was being released in several versions, including one with maglev, I immediately purchased the one with maglev and do not regret it at all. Any minor thing that I didn't like about the X-Man Tornado v2 was corrected in the X-Man Tornado v3 Pioneer. Corner cutting, stability, control, speed, etc. are all significantly improved, and it's so smooth and quiet. This cube is easy to configure/setup, and other than adjusting the edge magnets with a flathead screwdriver type tool, the rest can be done with fingers. It might seem a little daunting at first, but after trying a few settings you should be able to figure out what the adjustments are doing and get it dialed in to your personal preferences. The only lube I put on it is a generic "Gan" brand lube. I don't really go for all those other multi-step paste/droppers/colors/fragrances (???)/etc. You just simply need lube, and none of the other lubes seem to be made by a cube manufacturer, so I simply stick with Gan Magic Lube. It's probably not actually made by Gan (and is probably someone else's lube repackaged), but it's not expensive (it's actually quite reasonable/cheap), and if it's good enough for Gan (arguably the industry leader in speedcubes) to put their brand on, then it's good enough for me to use. Literally, all of my other 3x3 puzzles are now put in their bags, cases, etc. and stored in a drawer, as I only have this cube out now. I'm no world record holder -- my best time averages are still > the 20 secs, but I'm a long-time cuber (1982 with the original Rubiks Cube in high school) and at my age I'm probably as good as I'm going to get with CFOP (not advanced). I simply have too much other information in my brain to also add 70+ patterns/algorithms in there, too, so simple CFOP is fine for me. I also use cubing to keep my fingers/hands/wrists moving and help with the joint pain/stiffness that's gradually coming. Yep, sucks getting old. The Dayan Tengyun v3 is coming out soon, and it's probably about the only other cube that could end up putting this cube in the drawer. I really like the Dayan Tengyun v2, but even the v3 does not offer any additional magnets or maglev, so the Dayan Tengyun v3 seems to be relying on pretty old (2-3 years) cubing technology. I don't really see it replacing the X-Man Tornado v3 for me, but I also really didn't think that I'd like the Dayan Tengyun v2 more than I do my expensive custom Gan 356XS either. Never thought I'd ever say this, but at least for now, the QiYi X-Man Tornado v3 Pioneer is my "main". Read more

El cubo llegó en buen estado y al estarlo usando dos semanas intentó limpiarlo, como lo hace con sus otros cubos, y “le explotó”, al tratar de armarlo como dicen los videos tutoríal es ya no fue posible.. el usuario lo guardo pensando que sería reprendido, es Niño , y ahora que me lo dio para revisarlo veo que no se “arma esa pieza” . Quizá sea un cubo desarmable que no se desarma. Desconozco las especificaciones… pero si pague un precio alto , esperaría mayor calidad . Por lo pronto no recomiendo lo desarmen Read more

It feels really good, the maglev version and magcore make a huge difference. The price is not so bad. Read more
