They also have neocubes using higher grade magnets (click on SPECIAL): N48 grade instead of the standard N35 grade used in most products. It'd be interesting to know if that makes a difference.

There's also some other information about a black residue that comes off on your hands. Apparently it's bad and hard to clean. Anyone with these problems?

Also the information on Zen's website is much better and the price is very similar. Also there is a 0.5mm card tool which helps split the balls up and makes some shapes easier to build (however a plastic credit card or ID card may do the same trick). If you're considering getting the neocube, or cybercube, get the zen set instead. websites: http://zenmagnets.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOv0AkphLhE After searching around the internet for ball magnets, I went with Zen Magnets (the zen set consisting of 216 balls + 6 spares), they seem a better all round size, 5mm which is in between the sizes of the neocube and cybercube.

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:42:33 +0000 #comment-47122 Neocube was the orignal. Cybercube is a knockoff brand that has crappy magnets. Zenmagnets.com has the strongest magnets. And Buckyballs are the best marketed. If you plan on playing with the magnets for a long time, don't buy from Neocube OR Cybercube. Neocube was the orignal.

The website is shady and filled with broken English, and their domain is hiding behind a proxy. It's probably a Chinese company.
