Cube is awesome. I paid for supernova lube service, and it was a bad idea. I am not sure if the lube service is supposed to be only for 3x3s, but for this 5x5, it is as though they dumped half a bottle of supernova into the cube. The plastic wrap and outside of the cube was soaked in lube. I had to disassemble, clean, and reapply lube, as the massive quantity made the cube unmanageable to handle and extremely slow. Once I undid the lube job that SCS did, and reapplied lube properly, the x-man Hong is awesome!
