Yes, getting a lube service or lubing your own cube is critical. Some cubes come with a thin layer of cheap, greasy oil which often leaks out of the cube and wears out within hours of use.

If you continue to solve on a dry cube, you will accelerate wear on the plastic and hurt performance. Over time, the increased friction will result in "gunk" build-up and plastic shavings which hurt the turning and overall feel of your speed cube.

How to lube your speed cube

When shopping for speed cubes, you will see a "Lubricant applied" option on the right column in most cases. By checking this box, we will pre-lubricate the pieces and springs so that you can avoid the mess and get right to solving!

Alternatively, you can buy speed cube lubricant and do the dirty work yourself! We recommend cleaning out your speed cube first for best results and starting with small amounts of lubricant and adding more as you go.

You will also need to determine which speed cube lubes are the best for achieving your desired feel.

Avoid unexpected headaches

If you have us service your speed cube for you, we will inspect the cube for common factory defects that wouldn't have been caught otherwise since we only ship factory-sealed products (unless serviced).

We do have a great return policy if you do run into problems, but we find that having the peace of mind that your speed cube is arriving ready to go is worth the small price tag of a lube service.

A common question we get asked all the time is "what is speed cube lube?" and "what does the term 'gummy' or 'fast' mean? We go over the common speed cube lubricant terms, the different types of lubricants, and which puzzles best suit each type.

What is Speed Cube Lubricant, and why would I want to use it?

Lubricants are commonly used in speed cubes and puzzles to achieve a couple of things

1. Extending the lifespan of your speed cube by reducing friction where pieces contact each other internally
2. Change the turn speed of a puzzle (to slow down or speed up)
3. Change the feel of a puzzle (gummy, smooth)
4. Reduce internal spring noise

A Brief History

When Rubik's brand 3x3s were at their height in popularity, cubers sought ways to make the turning experience smoother and more pleasant. Through trial and error, they came across now-dated lubricants such as WD-40 and Vaseline. These lubricants reduce friction within the puzzle where pieces contacted each other, creating a smoother, more desirable feel. However, these early lubricant solutions eventually degraded the plastic and would need to be cleaned out after a couple days of being inside a puzzle.

Speed Cube lubes nowadays are much more user-friendly, not requiring the user to clean the puzzle out after having it in a puzzle for a couple days. These lubricants are mostly comprised of silicone, with other ingredients added to both change their properties, although some lubricants such as stardust are water-based instead.

Application

Our Cosmic collection of cube lube comes in convenient 5ML, 10ML, and 15ML dropper-style bottles. To apply lubricant to a puzzle, simply screw the cap off the dropper bottle, and place a couple drops in contact points between the pieces. We recommend adding a small number of drops to start, as you can always add more lubricant but it is far more difficult to remove it, as this instead would require cleaning the puzzle out.

To lubricate the core, or sometimes called "the hardware", find the center screw (this is under the center cap on 3x3s), and unscrew the screw completely. Place a couple drops of lubricant onto the spring and screw, but be careful to not get lubricant onto the thread of the screw itself. Screw back in the screw - this is a perfect time to re-tension your puzzle if necessary. We recommend vortex to lubricate your puzzles' cores, thanks to its heaviness and speed factor.

Common Terms

• Fast
  • Makes the turn speed of a puzzle faster
  • Our favorites include Lunar and Stardust
• Slow
  • Makes the turn speed of a puzzle slower
• Smooth
  • Most lubricants, usually add a layer of lubricant between the pieces that reduces friction and results in a smoother feel
  • Particularly effective on new puzzles, which can feel "sandy" out of the box
• Control
  • Linked with "slow", generally used to describe lubricants that slightly slow down a puzzle to attain a more manageable speed. Useful for most puzzles nowadays, since most come out of the box with a very fast turn speed.
  • Our favorite control lubes include Nebula and Cosmos
• Gummy
  
  • Is often referred to as "buttery" or "soft" turning feel
  • Our favorite gummy lubes include Galaxy and Nebula
• Heavy
  • Thicker and usually smoother turning feel
  • Our favorite heavy lubes include Vortex and Nebula
• Sandy/Dry
  
  • Turns feel like two pieces of paper rubbing against to each other (to an extent)
  • Lubricant is commonly used to remove the sandy/dry feel that some puzzles have out of the box

The History of Cube Puzzles

The journey of these puzzles began in 1974 with the invention of the original 3x3 cube by Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian architect and professor. Originally designed to help students understand three-dimensional problems, the cube became a global phenomenon in the 1980s, known simply as the "Rubik's Cube." This sparked the birth of what we now refer to as SpeedCubing, a competitive sport where participants solve cube puzzles as quickly as possible.

What Is a Skewb Cube?

At first glance, this cube might resemble a traditional Rubik's Cube, but don't let its appearance deceive you. This puzzle is fundamentally different, offering a unique twist (quite literally) on the classic cube-solving experience. This cube is distinguished by its axis of rotation, which cuts through the corners rather than the cube's faces. This pivotal difference means that each turn affects the cube's shape and color alignment unexpectedly, providing a fresh and intricate challenge even for seasoned cubers.

Unlike the traditional 3x3 speed cubes that require aligning 54 individual stickers, this cube challenges solvers to match colors across a smaller number of pieces. However, the complexity of its mechanism and the strategy required to solve it makes it more challenging and engaging.

Why the Skewb Stands Apart

Skewb's distinctive design not only alters the solving experience but also Its corner-based rotation system introduces a new layer of problem-solving, requiring cubers to develop new algorithms and approaches. This novelty has made the Skewb a beloved puzzle among those looking to stretch their cubing skills beyond the traditional challenges.

At SpeedCubeShop, we've seen the Skewb's popularity soar as enthusiasts from all over the globe seek to master its unique mechanics. It's not just about solving the puzzle; it's about mastering a new form of spatial reasoning and manual dexterity.
