QiYi Super Ivy Cube — larger and more complex Ivy challenge for shape-mod fans

QiYi Super Ivy Cube is a more advanced Ivy/Rex-style puzzle with an extra layer and a different logic from a regular 3×3. It is stickerless, weighs about 132 g, is about 57 mm in size, and is made for solvers who want an unusual but still pleasant hand puzzle.

Who this puzzle is for

• For people who have already tried an Ivy Cube and want a harder challenge.
• For shape-mod fans who enjoy moving away from classic 3×3 logic.
• For a collection, gift, or relaxed solving without competition pressure.
• If you want a simple first puzzle, a regular Ivy Cube will be easier.

Turning feel

• It turns by gripping the corners, similar to an Ivy Cube, but with more elements to track.
• The feel is stable and fairly substantial because of the weight of about 132 g.
• There is a mechanical “click” during turns, but it is not the same as a magnetic system.
• The matte or semi-matte surface gives calm finger contact.

Magnets and mechanism

• No classic magnetic system — control comes from the mechanism and the shape of the turns.
• Functionally it is more complex than a regular Ivy Cube because the extra layer increases the number of cases.
• The mechanism is made for stable, not overly aggressive, turning.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: about 57 × 57 × 57 mm.
• Weight: about 132 g without packaging.
• Surface: stickerless plastic, no classic stickers.
• Package: gross weight is often listed around 146 g.

Main advantages

• Much more interesting than a regular Ivy Cube.
• Good balance between unusual design and solvability.
• Stable feel in the hand.
• Stickerless design with no sticker wear.
• Nice addition to a shape-mod collection.

Things to keep in mind

• Not as intuitive as a regular Ivy Cube.
• No magnetic alignment.
• Beginners may find it confusing because the moves are not like on a 3×3.

How to use

Start like with an Ivy Cube: follow the corners, arcs, and larger pieces rather than classic 3×3 layers. Do not force turns; if a layer does not move, align the neighbouring pieces first.
