YJ Windmill 3x3 Speed Cube Puzzle

I absolutely love the windmill shape mod, it’s so fun to see the different looks that the cube has and the checkerboard pattern looks way better in person then in the photos

My friend's had one of these for a while, and I decided to get one too. I'm really happy with the quality of the puzzle. The turning is excellent for a shape mod, might benefit from a little bit of lube, but I haven't had the opportunity to try that. The sticker quality is really good. I often have to be very careful to avoid damage to the stickers, but after a few weeks of use there is no peeling, and my friend's is the same after a year. If you're a fan of Stickerless cubes like me, maybe go for the QiYi if it's available.

I think the Windmill is a really good introduction to shape mods, and recommend it to anybody who wants to try one.

Looks cool and took me alittle while to work out the edges and corners. Fun and something alittle bit different then usual/

Personally I really love 3x3 shape mods and this is just the perfect example of that for me. Getting this cube at first, I just wanted it to increase my collection and to have something similar but different to my one of my favorite cubes, the fisher cube. But honestly, the was a lot more fun to be found in the windmill cube over the fisher and I don't quite know what it is exactly. Now, I was scared when I ordered the cube that I should've ordered a different version as I was quite off-put by the sticker shades and how square and angularly cut the stickers were. However, I can testify the sticker shades are very nice and the cut of the stickers is actually rounded which makes it look much nicer. Now the turning is very smooth and very pleasing but sometimes it can be a bit hard to grip (due to the shape-shifting) but it is a sacrifice that seems insignificant compared to the positives surrounding it. Overall, I highly recommend this cube

My overall thoughts of this cube are extremely positive. It’s stickers have good colour and are very durable. The corner cutting is 45 degrees. Out of the box this cube had a lot of lubricant On the outside but was very dry. After wiping off the excess lube and Breaking it in this cube had smooth and fast turning. This puzzle is very fun to solve and in my opinion is the most fun 3 x 3 shape mod on the market. One thing I noticed about the cube that I don’t like is the layer alignment. When turning this cube sometimes I can accidentally turn other layers which when doing algorithms can make it hard. I think that adding magnets would fix this. All up I think that this cube is better than YJ’s other 3x3 shapemods and I really like it but would like a magnetic version.
