The V-Cube 5 is made from a high quality white plastic. The purpose of this puzzle is to scramble up all 6 sides of the cube and then be able to put them back so that each side is just one color. This cube is 5 layers deep, and its internal structure provides it with an incredibly smooth rotation, which is made possible by V-CUBE™ technology. This technology, invented by a Greek engineer named Panagiotis Verdes, makes it possible to create cubes with an unlimited number of layers while maintaining a sturdy frame and a smooth rotation.
