thank you to @thecubicleofficial ! this review would have not been possible without your support
0:00 - unboxing
1:18 - first turns/set-up
3:07 - solves + review
tldw, this clock is REALLY good, i have some slight issues with it in terms of the speed and the set up issues. however, i'm overall enjoying my solves with this clock. my review/opinions may change dependent on if i actually do well/enjoy the comp tomorrow lol. ill upload another video or pin a comment if my thoughts change.
let me know in the comments below what you think! this is my first review in a while so let me know if you guys liked it by liking, subscribing, and sharing.
are you buying the new qiyi clock?
probably not cause the pin mags are already strong enough in my qiyi
Most probably because I need a better main but at the same time I don’t wanna spend 80 dollars on a clock lmao
It’s 40 dollars rn
Yes
@@AlessandroDiomampo well you dont need to, its like exactly half of that
Thanks for this video Carter Thomas!
yup no problem edwin
omg you have the cubeorithms music the nostalgia
kevin macleod my goat
New shengshou 100x100 clock is next
Bro said he’d use it at his next comp and then gets sub 4
Finally an unboxing video!!
Did bring up some questions though
Why lube the inside of outer casing instead of real friction points of inner casing?
What do you mean when you say old batch vs new batch? Are you referring to different batches of 2020 version or is 2020 version the old batch and 2024 version the new batch
Good luck with the competition!
1. i did end up putting lube in the inner casing, but i tend to avoid it because it fiddles with magnet strength and i run the risk of putting center and corner clocks in the wrong spots
2. old batch was when it first released in 2020, new batch are just regular qiyi sold early 2021 - now, hope this was helpful!
Thanks for the quick reply and answering my questions 👍
Didn't know there were minor differences between the batches of the b&w version.

Great vid bro 🔥 I might get it soon 💪
thank you! get one quick though theres only like a couple thousand ever made lol
@@cartercubesyep ima get it cuz dude my current clock is good but modded asf I need new hardware lik
@@cartercubesbtw do you know if there is any issues with some batches ? Cuz some people complained of quality issues and I just wanna be sure if I buy it loo
@@Tito_decorazon7771 i have heard some quality control issues, but i dont think theyre the end of the world or a consistent pattern in any case. if there is a issue you should probably report it immediately and they'll give you the necessary compensation.
@@cartercubesok perfect ! Thank you 🙏
I bought it and I tape coded it and lubed it. I did keep in the nuts and not the screws because it was too lose. The only thing its so loud lol.
I just got mine yesterday, and I feel like it's better, but not worth the upgrade if you already have the original.
idk tbh i think it’s worth it but that might be personal preference
Carter, my le clock broke and the pins are not working correctly. The clocks that aren't supposed to move when certain pins are up move and I have returned the puzzle. Should I try to get another LE, or should I just settle for the Pi clock since a bunch of wr holders use it?
it really depends, if you liked the le you should get it because it’s cheaper than the picube. but if u didn’t like the le, and you want to try something different, splurge for the pi mod if u have the budget to do so.
@@cartercubes lol, the magnets for the pins fell out so I superglued it and now the clock is good.
drink looks fire
ikr
I did the anders mod on it and it looks like a fuecoco clock now
I got this for a comp and it did not come in time; but the day before the comp, I went to the cubicle with my friend and got one. Since I had another coming, I decided to anders mod it even though I have never done that before. I lost so many magnets so the next day when my other clock came I fixed it. I am actually so glad I got 2.
I would do it on mine but I broke my old QiYi doing it so I’m not taking any chances 😂
Why did you tape the edges of the clock? The color keeps it together, right?
no, the plastic case is loose without the tape and i don’t use screws
Is it faster without screws?
Yes it reduces the friction
Mine is slow, would you know how to fix that?
add weight five and if necessary lower the center magnets like i did in the video
it's like a shiny pokemon lol
Ok ok, let’s cut to the chase, can you still do an anders mod on this clock?
haven’t tried, don’t really want to risk possibly damaging it
@@cartercubes ah ok, but do you think it’s possible?
You can, someone did it
@@CubeATime-AKAEddieArtze yippee!
@@DcubesOfficial NJ did it lol
I wonder what Anders mod would look like?
Someone did that
hey just came across your channel and loved your videos
thank you!
the pin magnets are way too strong otherwise its a great clock after setup
yeah I took the rings out and put regular pin magnets inside the pins lol
Clock
5:56 you're welcome

My LE clock turns great, the pins is just absolute trash. I could not turn at all even though I did like 150 solves.
really, did you do the center mag mod?
@@cartercubesnot yet, maybe I should
@@cartercubesjust did the mod, it's pretty good, but the pins for me are still strong. I think I could get used to it though
Bro was editing 👀
oh yeah baby
What’s the point of these clocks? I genuinely don’t know.
this one is different from the qiyi clock since the magnet strength was changed
