Mini Speed Cube, TaoLeLe 1cm 3x3 Tiny Magic Cube World’s Smallest puzzle Cube Smooth Rotation Brain Teaser Travel Games for Adults and Kids Gifts

This was a spur of the moment buying decision. You can tell, can't you?It's definitely a proper, working cube. Even the colours are spot on.Where you /might/ take issue with it a bit is the "speed" element of its name. While it's clearly engineered to move smoothly and well, with my fingers it's quite difficult to keep the cube's sides nicely lined up, which means it's prone to jamming.I'm not a speed demon with a cube by any stretch of the imagination; I can do a regular-sized cube in around 3 minutes, give or take. This tiny cube takes me over twice that, just because it's so fiddly.But it's do-able, it works, and as a curiosity for a cube aficionado, it's quite a thing.Oh: solvers' tip? It's easier to manipulate with your fingernails rather than the flesh of your fingertips, in my experience. And whatever mnemonics you use for the elements of the solving process, you'll need to get used to holding in your head for longer when you have to stop solving in order to straighten the sides.

I had low expectations for a cube of this size, thinking the mechanism would be fairly poor , but was impressed when I actually opened the package and scrambled. Obviously the scale makes it way more of a challenge to manipulate, and no speed solves or corner cutting, but very cool as an interesting collector piece.

This cube comes in minimal packaging and once you take it out and feel it; it really hits how small it is. I was amazed to feel the quality and that it’s actually functioning; I thought it was just a gimmick but not. It’s perfect for any collector or Rubix cube user.

This is literally the tiniest rubiks cube I've ever seen. It is the size of the tip of your index finger. It is definitely not for beginners and it's just too small to learn on. I ordered this for my 6 year old, and I'm sure he's going to lose it at any moment as it's just so tiny!I think the price point is a bit too high for such a small toy. If you're child is a rubiks cube fan and is already a pro, then this would make a quirky gift for them.

I’d say that this is much closer to a standard cube rather than a speed/competition cube in how it feels to use, which is a good thing. If this genuinely span as freely as a speed cube does, it’d be far too difficult to manipulate at this scale. As it arrived, it's surprisingly easy to spin and is infinitely smoother than I ever dreamed a cube of this size could ever be, and that's before breaking it in properly. Ignoring the miniature scale and the fact that you can only operate this with thumbs and fingers rather than hands, it genuinely spins better than half the official Rubik’s cubes I've used right out of the box. It can get jammed up a little if you’re not holding it quite right, but the stickiness slowly works its way out as you play with it.The stickers are perfectly placed, better than some of my much larger cubes, and now that I'm taking another look I'm not even convinced if it even uses stickers. They’re perfect to my eye, which is super impressive if these are actually little stickers. I'm honestly too afraid to poke at them with some tweezers or a toothpick to find out and possibly damage them if they are. Under a macro lens I'm still not sure enough to call it one way or the other, they could be moulded in and painted with a stencil but who knows. Either way, they’ve held up fine for weeks of occasional use and they feel nice to the touch.One issue I have is that due to the small size, this is going to be exceedingly easy to misplace. At the price point of this product, it would have been helpful if they provided a protective carrying case that had keychain attachment for more secure portability. I really do like the product itself and it's honestly mind-blowing but I'm afraid to take it anywhere to show it off due to the small scale. I'll have to see if I can come up with a nice 3D printed keyring to store this in at some point when I get a chance.Other than the lack of a keychain, case or stand of some kind, this is an excellent little cube that would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s Rubik's Cube or puzzle collection.

ITS TINY!!!!!Got this for my son for his birthday so am looking forward for him being able to do this Rubik's Cube, would recommend this for a stocking stuffer for Christmas. Certainly a novelty item, and wouldn't replace your full sized Rubik's.very fiddly for big fingers, but kids find it very easy.Fairly good value for money, although would have expected it to be about £10

A cute, fun working cube. Works as a normal cube would but obviously more fiddly to operate so not for speed challenges. Would make a nice novelty gift. I felt it was slightly expensive, though it is well made.

My husband loves his puzzle cubes - I thought this one might give him a bit more of a challenge lol.On ordering, I had doubts about how well something so small would actually work, but I can confirm, it's a sturdy little thing that works surprisingly well. As you can see in my photos, it really is tiny - I'd love to say it's pocket sized, but my husband would probably lose it in his pocket! It's fully working too and twists smoothly, although the tiny size can make it a little awkward to grip at times.The quality is great, with nice movement, bright colours and overall it's a really fantastic, well made little item. If you're looking for a unique, quirky gift idea, then this would definitely be a great option.
