This Rubik's Cube is not very good. It is slow, and can't corner cut very well. It doesn't lock up much, although that might be because it is so slow you never force it to lock up. However, if you made it much faster and corner cut better, it might be an okay cube.
Overall, don't buy this. The dismal speed ruins all.

I have had this cube for a while, and I hate it. The only reason I keep this cube is because the corners never twist, and the cubies never pop.

[Edit] I got this cube just to see how it was. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The feeling is really nice, if you like clackier cubes. At first it couldn't cut well at all, but I modded it and broke it in, and now it can do 45 normal and 1/3 of a piece reverse. This would be a decent cube to start off with, and it most likely will be for many new cubers because they will most likely get it as a gift. I use it for my feet solving main, which gives you an indication of how it compares to modern speedcubes.

Decent beginner cube.
Pros
The only real purpose is a beginner cube (Unless you're a collector) and even at that it falls short in. In my opinion it would be best to buy an Aolong V2 or honestly anything better for intermediate cubers.
Pros
- Most reliable cube i've ever played with, it never corner twisted or popped
- Very Very controllable
- Very Common around the US
- Abysmal corner cutting
- Ridiculously hard to take apart or even lube properly
- Sluggish cube out of the box
- Price is WAY out of its league.

This cube is a pretty good 3x3 for speedcubers who average around 1:30 seconds to 50 seconds. It has good speed, but not the fastest. The cube is impossible to pop and twisting corners are very difficult, but the problem on this cube is the locking. The cube can corner cut only up to a piece(or just a bit more sometimes), and half a piece for reverse. This can sometimes lead to terrible lock ups and it is one of the reasons why I don't really like this cube.
Overall, this cube has a good feeling while turning; it is loud, crunchy and scratchy but controllable and fast.

When first opening the cube straight out of the package, the cube was terrible. Although the cube was very, very durable, the speed was terrible, corner cutting is the same as the old Rubik's cube, terrible. I thought I would've expected more for Rubik's as they would've learned from their mistakes. I would not suggest the cube for any cubers alike and instead buy a better brand such as Dayan, Moyu, V-Cubes.

I wouldn't suggest this cube for speedcubing. It has a scratchy feel to it, and isn't even a speedcube. Right out of the box, it's scratchy, tight, and very stiff. It can barely corner cut even half a cubie, and sometimes not even. While this is a good cube for beginners, I would not recommend it to someone who's trying to get sub-30 or sub-20. After tensioning it, I still can't corner cut half a cubie and it VERY often locks. As a Rubik's brand v.2, it doesn't pop at all unless you tension it very loose.

This cube has tiles and is the same build as their speed cube model but without the ability to tension or change the springs. For what it is, it is a very nice and sturdy cube. With some lube and breaking in this cube can move pretty well. It is practically impossible to come apart and so popping is not an issue. I would not call this a "speed cube" but it is the best "casual cube" on the market.
