For those who now wish to become familiar with speedcubing, it would be advisable to avoid buying larger cubes as a
first puzzle. 2X2, 3X3 and Pyraminx class are the most preferable options to enter the world of cubing. Familiarity with the
these three-dimensional puzzles and understanding how they are solved will help you advance to puzzles of higher complexity (4X4, 5X5 and so on).
On our website you will find a detailed description for each product, where the unique features that make each of them
stand out, are thoroughly explained. That way you can find the piece that best meets your requirements. If you are still having trouble at settling down, our email and phone are always available for your service. We will be happy for you to contact us and we will do the best to offer all the information you need to choose the puzzle that best suits your needs.
Modern speedcubes can achieve excellent speed without the need for a lubricant. Therefore, under no circumstances should the purchase of a lubricant be considered a necessity in order for the cube to function well within its standards, especially at a beginner’s level. However, as you get more profecient, the use of a lubricant can indeed provide an improved
feel of the cube when rotating. Therefore, a good lubricant can ultimately be the one that will help you break your personal record by improving your time by a few seconds, or provide the cube with control and stability you wish, if these are the features you are looking to enhance.
