Cool but a bit misleading

I was really excited for this for my son, who collects rubix cubes - but it’s really difficult to get it to change colors. You have to have very warm hands and even then, I wouldn’t describe the change as “by touch.” It takes a little time - even after putting the cube in the fridge (something he saw online). Definitely had higher hopes. It’s a great idea, and still pretty cool, but wish it was executed a bit better.

Just gave it as a Christmas gift. The house is a normal room temperature. Three different warm-blooded people have touched, held, rubbed and sworn at the cube to try to see colors. Nothing. If we run it under warm water, the colors change, but not to the human touch. Total fail. Without changing colors, the "stealth"colors are slightly different shades; you can easily tell the red/orange from the blue/green. It is a speed cube design with nice action, no stickers.

This cube only works when the temperature is below 79 degrees. For someone who lives in a warmer climate, it is basically just a plain Rubik’s Cube. It doesn’t turn black if it is too warm in the room.

We didn’t get out of the store for more than 15 minutes before it broke into tiny pieces. Been trying to put it back together for an hour.

Like most, I started with the layer-by-layer beginner method, and it was pretty good. But as you become more proficient and move on to CFOP, you might start to feel that it's a little clunky. For example, corner cutting usually results in the cube popping out into little pieces all over the place. Otherwise, it's an okay cube.
Excited to try!!

I used to love the classic Rubix cube… looking forward to the challenge of this new version. I promised my cousin I wouldn’t try until he got her to visit.

Just got this 2 days ago and the quality of this one is horrid. Color changing feature is mediocre at best. And the cube it self is really loose. I don't know if maybe it's just the cube I got but it feels like it could just fall apart at any moment. I purchased dozens of cubes and none feel like this. I rather just exchange it for a normal 3x3
Great
