MoFangGe M-Lube Cube Lube

MoFangGe M-Lube 3 ml

MoFangGe M-Lube is one of the simplest and most affordable cube lubes from MoFangGe, the QiYi brand. It has a medium-low viscosity, so it reduces friction between the pieces and smooths out turning without changing the character of the cube much. The bottle holds 3 ml, and a few drops are enough to lube a single cube.

How it works in a cube

M-Lube isn't meant to make your cube much faster. Instead, it quiets and smooths the turning. After lubing, a cube usually feels smoother, less scratchy and quieter, while its speed barely changes. Users often praise it for exactly this: it gives a clearly lubed feel without making the cube too fast or hard to control. Keep in mind that this comes from user experience, not from specifications given by the manufacturer.

Some users also report that after a few weeks the cube can become slower and slightly sticky. Using less lube, or cleaning the cube and lubing it again from scratch, usually helps.

When it works well

• First lubing of a new or scratchy cube, especially a budget model that feels dry or noisy out of the box.
• Refreshing a cube that has lost its smooth turning after long use.
• Learning to lube. At this price you can freely experiment with different amounts without worrying about using up an expensive lube.

Cubers who fine-tune their setup and want to adjust speed and control separately usually use several lubes of different viscosities, and M-Lube can be one of them. A parent buying a first cube for their child can add it as an inexpensive extra that helps keep the cube in good condition.

How to use

Start with 2-3 drops on the cube's pieces and do a few dozen turns to spread the lube. Add a little more if needed. Too much lube makes the cube slow and heavy, so it's better to add it gradually.
