Perfect for M-1 and M-2
This lubricant was clearly designed with the M-series in mind. It absorbs quickly without making the cube gummy, providing a smooth, controlled feel that is ideal for competitions.

Smooth and consistent
The consistency is fantastic. It doesn't change the tension of the cube but makes the turns incredibly fluid. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their factory lube.

Competition ready
Used this right before a local tournament. The break-in period was minimal, and the cube felt stable throughout all my solves. No lock-ups at all.

Best lube for DIY mods
I use this on all my custom-modded cubes. The water-based formula mixes well with other lubricants if you are trying to create a specific feel. Very versatile product.

Great water-based option
I prefer water-based lubes because they don't attract dust as much as silicone sprays. This one works well, though I had to apply it twice to get the desired slickness on my older M-1.

Good value for money
As a beginner, I wasn't sure which lube to buy. This one is easy to apply and doesn't mess up the cube if you use too much. Just wipe off the excess and let it dry.
Q: Does this lubricant work on non-Qiyi brands?
A: Absolutely. While optimized for the Qiyi M-1 and M-2, it works excellently on most modern speed cubes from brands like Gan, Moyu, and X-Man.
Q: What should I do if I accidentally over-lubricate?
A: If you apply too much, simply disassemble the cube slightly or turn it rapidly to spread the lube, then wipe away any excess pooling on the surface with a lint-free cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Q: How long does one bottle typically last?
A: For an average user lubricating one cube once a week, a 30ml bottle should last approximately 6 to 8 months. Heavy users or those maintaining multiple cubes may go through it faster.
Q: Can I mix this with silicone-based lubricants?
A: Yes, you can mix water-based and silicone-based lubricants, but it is generally recommended to apply the water-based lube first to the core and let it dry before adding silicone lube to the tracks for a layered effect.
Q: Is this safe to use on plastic stickers?
A: Yes, this water-based formula is safe for both stickerless and stickered cubes. It will not degrade the adhesive or cause stickers to peel when used as directed.
