The QiYi Ivy Cube Carbon is the carbon fibre sticker version of the popular Ivy Cube from QiYi MoFangGe. It is a shape mod based on the skewb mechanism, with an exterior design in which curved leaves rise from the corners, giving an elegant and minimalist look. The aesthetics of this Carbon variant combine the black of the base plastic with the subtle texture of the fibre on the faces, offering a contrast that appeals to those who prefer discreet cubes.

It measures 57 x 57 mm and weighs 100 grams, slightly above the stickerless version due to the weight of the stickers. These carbon fibre stickers add a textured finish with fine relief that improves grip and gives a sober look. It has no magnets; the turn depends on the internal skewb mechanism, without magnetic assistance, which keeps the price contained and makes it easy to manually adjust tension if the user wants to fine-tune the factory setting.

In hand, it behaves like a skewb with fewer effective cuts: the geometry simplifies the possible states and makes it solvable with very few algorithms. It is a friendly puzzle for beginners who have already handled a 3x3, and a comfortable entry into the world of shape mods. Regular users describe it as a fast, satisfying and perfectly affordable puzzle, ideal for adding to a varied collection without making a major investment.

The original design is by Yukang Wu and QiYi in collaboration with Eitan and forms part of the QiYi MoFangGe "leaf cubes" line. Together with the stickerless Ivy Cube, it is one of the most recommended options within the brand's shape mod family, and an eye-catching alternative for collectors looking for a finish other than coloured plastic. It also works well as a gift for someone starting in the world of non-WCA puzzles who prefers models with a sober look instead of flat colours. Ships in its original QiYi MoFangGe packaging, ready to use without adjustments or prior lubrication. It is a common puzzle in specialised stores and a safe choice if you are looking for a hard-wearing, carefully finished shape mod.
