Pillowed QJ 4x4 Review

[Holligan878]

mine is black, heavy and it moves terrible. It doesn't cut and my brand keychain moves better than this shit. It is the worst cube I ever touched and I tryed to lubricate and break it in for a month. (I was lucky to sell it for 25 bucks to some idiot)

[convinsa]

@Holligan878 thats mean to sell it to someone with you knowing that the cube sucks. Anyways, you should have cleaned it out and relubed it with lubix to get it like the one in my review

[Holligan878]

@convinsa No, no don't worry. He doesn't even know how to solve the 3x3. He wanted it for collection purpose only. (It still lies in his room unused)

I tried everything with the cube, breaking in, silicone, lubix and it didn't get better so I sold it after a month. (after about 40 days and at least 5 hours of breaking in + lubricating time)

[iTheGeek]

It's cheaper on Cube4You. Only $8.99 and you get 20% on top of that, AND free shipping on top of that too xD

Bull crap it doesn't have screws. Mine has two and I can tension it however I like.

[ArcStorm722]

@SullyForDays adjustable means there is a screw on every side...urs has a ball core..it may be able to looser if u loosen the screw but likely not meant u tensioning it however u like

[1namster]

awesome...the science museum gift shop HK has it.cool!

[Vdude11]

i want 1 of these real bad!

[ninrey19]

its basicaly a pillowed lanlan because the pieces are very similer

[Ace4897]

What kind on lube do you use?

[convinsa]

@Ace4897 lubix lube

[fico402]

is it competition legal ? :D

[convinsa]

@fico402 it should be fine

[Cubedays]

@fico402 No it is not, Pillowed and painted cubes are not allowed

[BDawgsvids]

@fico402 Pillowed cubes are not allowed. I found this on a PDF I downloaded a long time ago from the Rubik's Website which tells about all the WCA competition rules. I'm not sure if they still have it though. I tried using it in a competition a few weeks ago and they said no pillowed cubes.

[convinsa]

@VietxTuber yes i used to have it. i traded it about a week and a half ago

[Gijiner765]

if it has a ball core, how can it cut corners? rubiks one has ball core and it can't cut.

[cytrox557]

@Gijiner765 So does the QJ and mini QJ, but they cut corners great

[cityzach]

i really like your reviews. they r very in depth and just all around great!

[convinsa]

@cityzach wow, thank you so much! did you see my newest video, the shengshou 5x5 review? i posted that today. can you tell me if i did a good job with that too

[cityzach]

@convinsa yep, just saw it, and its also really good! im sure im not the only one that thinks that also

[convinsa]

@cityzach ok cool. thank you. btw, i subbed back to you

[cityzach]

@convinsa thanks!

[RPKGameVids]

I've never really liked the look of pillowed cubes.

[thegl00wber]

Will u get the 5x5?

[convinsa]

@thegl00wber i dont think i will. but you never know. right now i dont have the money to buy that

[CadenceCPK]

@convinsa lol. they copy the crappiest rubik's brand and then put that gooey lubish stuff in it.

[tall5001]

great review but this seems scripted too much!

[convinsa]

@tall5001 i mostly always script my reviews. if i didn't, it would be so disorganized and i would forget to say certain things.

[tall5001]

@convinsa well make it more natural you seem like your reading off of the paper directly

[convinsa]

@tall5001 lol im not. this is what the paper has for the most part: "out of box, stickers, logo, shape, size, weight, lube, speed, pops and locks, cutting, pieces and mech, overall thoughts" and i just talk about each

[tall5001]

@convinsa oh well it seems very robotic btu good job all the info came across good

[convinsa]

@tall5001 Thank you. i will have your advice in mind.

[TheAKW1998]

Category: Sports???

[convinsa]

@TheAKW1998 what category should it be in?

[tall5001]

@convinsa entertainment or education

[convinsa]

@tall5001 oh. well i think speedcubing is kind of a sport. what do you think?

[tall5001]

@convinsa i guess but this isnt a solve it is a review which is education?

[convinsa]

@tall5001 o now i see. reviews should be educational. and solve are more like sports or entertaining.

[tall5001]

@convinsa yes

[1ice2cream3truck4]

Nice Review.. How did you break it in??

[convinsa]

@1ice2cream3truck4 by tuning it a lot

[dandyboykb]

hey i've been waiting for this review, i have the mini qj, not the pillowed one, i think the screw is deep in side one of the holes on the core, just look at where the triangles intersect. you can loosen the cube. but i don't know if the pillowed is different from the mini qj. i can tension my mini qj. so maybe you should check to see if there are any holes.

[EMI94100]

@dandyboykb you definately can't tension your QJ 4x4. this screw just keeps the two halfs of the ball core together.

[dandyboykb]

@EMI94100 well but it would make the cube a little looser.

[EMI94100]

@dandyboykb just in one direction :D 

[Zwhite10]

Cool
