The puzzle consists of 218 unique miniature cubes ( cubies ) on the surface. Six of these (the central tiles of the six faces) are attached directly to the internal spider frame and are fixed in position relative to one another. The V-Cube 6 uses essentially the same mechanism, except that on the latter the central rows, which hold the rest of the pieces together, are completely hidden.[1] The 24 center pieces surrounding the centermost fixed piece of each face are merely single square façades hooked into the hidden internal mechanism. This is the largest change to the 3×3×3 cube, because the center pieces can move in relation to each other, unlike the fixed centers on the original.

There are 60 edge pieces which show two colored sides each, and eight corner pieces which show three colors. Each piece (or quintet of edge pieces) shows a unique color combination, but not all combinations are present (for example, there is no edge piece with both red and orange sides, since red and orange are on opposite sides of the solved Cube). The location of these cubes relative to one another can be altered by twisting the outer layers of the Cube 90°, 180° or 270°, but the location of the colored sides relative to one another in the completed state of the puzzle cannot be altered: it is fixed by the relative positions of the fixed center squares and the distribution of color combinations on edge and corner pieces.

This puzzle is a cube which is built from smaller cubes, 7 to an edge, i.e. a 7rtimes;7etimes;7 cube. Like a Rubik's Cube each slice can rotate, which rearranges the small cubes on the surface of the puzzle. The six sides of the cube are coloured, so every corner piece shows three colours, every edge piece shows 2 colours, and every face centre only one.

V-cubes were invented by Panagiotis Verdes and are produced by Verdes Innovations S.A., Verdes's company located in Greece. The design of these cubes is completely new and different from all pre-existing designs, as it is based on the cone and as the pieces hook together instead of simply being held together by the centers. In addition, the plastic used for the V-cubes is a bit more elastic than the normal plastic for cubes. This leads to several advantages:
