How smooth does the cube turn?
2015570
Out of the box all four cubes turned very smoothly with almost no resistance

The cubes come lubed but not tensioned and seem to be tightened all the way and turning was a little tight as well but after tensioning the cubes turned much better.

It was a gift so I'm not sure. If i had to guess I would say smooth but I tried it out and my laptop didn't slide. But it's heavy. Sorry...it's been a long time since i bought it.

Since I no longer have the cube, I really can give you an answer. Perhaps you can Google it by using the manufacturer's name and id. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes, because the cube comes 'fast & loose', it is normal for corners to pop out. This is called 'corner popping'. It should be very simple to pop the corner back in. If it is popping corners too much & if the cube is too 'loose' for your taste then you can remove the six center face tiles and tighten these 6 screws. Some people like a loose cube & some a tight cube. I will say thay as you get used to a loose cube you will pop corners less as you will realize how much 'corner cutting' & how much 'reverse corner cutting' you can get away with (the angle values are different for the two, but in general, very forgiving/liberal with Dayan cubes).

It seems polished, quite smooth. I doubt that would be an issue. (I have it in a thin elago case, so with that it's a moot point.)

It is not completely smooth. It has a slight ridge that goes around the bottom about an inch and a half from the edge of the pot. Hope that helps. Mary

It is made of metal, so it is not completley smooth. That being said, I would describe it as a smooth surface.

This is the best cube I have ever used. It turns with ease and cuts corners amazingly well. A regular rubik's brand cube cannot compare. This cube is considered one of the best speed cubes in the world. It is far better than any other cube I have come across.

No, it is not smooth, it is ribbed all across the surface. This is actually very large, I don't use it as much as I expected to.

Yes, it is very semi smooth, like the small stickers you can buy to put on a tub for anti slip, this just covers a MUCH larger area.

It is smooth & is a very good & sturdy board to work on. It's about 1/3" thick. Doesn't move around or bend.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend, but form what I saw of it, there is no problem. I have the travel version which the cubes sometimes get stuck while shaking it. I had to disassemble it once. This is a fabulous, fun game! I don't know what the complaints regarding the letters on the cube are about.

Yes it`s easy to turn but it`s my only one cube. I`ve never had a rubiks...

It's pretty smooth, but you do pump it up incrementally. If you went slowly and carefully I think you'd be alright.

It has pretty smooth tracking but in order to make it turn smooth make sure the wheels and that part of the board arent screwed on too tight! (:

Our 2x2 moved very smoothly straight out of the box and has not been lubricated at all. Build quality is very good also. One of the best things about this cube is the individual cubes are colored so no peeling stickers like our 3x3 cubes.

Absolutely, I've been using the cube for several months now and it is an excellent piece of engineering. It does cut corners well, and the tension out of the box seems to work well, although if you drop it or use the same force turning it as the original Rubik's Cube it can come apart. The more I use it the more I'm able to adjust to the cube.
