V-cube 4 (Made In China)

I dont know what to say...

It does the core lock up

Looks kind of mediocre. Why did they not fix the misalignment?

Its not made by V-cube
And I think that there is some sort of clicking going on

I saw the video and it is not good. Given there are many 4x4 cube makers out there, this one is not good. So I won't buy it.

It seems to have the clicks and core misalignment, same as the official V-6. I would have thought this problem would be obvious to the KO manufacturers. This 4x4 type doesn't look like it has the potential to even equal the best 4x4s on the market. (I hope that if Verdes produces a real V-4 it will be significantly better than this.)

I bet you can do the Pi mod to it and make it better than a QJ.

Ugh, I was mad enough when he uploaded the video, but can we stop posting this stuff on this forum? I know, it's interesting to hear about it, but promoting it will also generate the wrong kind of interest.

So people shouldn't have a right to choose?

No. I do not want speedsolving to become like twistypuzzles is when it comes to knockoffs... Over there, any links to knockoffs, and almost any information about them, is quickly deleted. That's simply not an environment that would be at all helpful for a speedsolving community - we are interested in knowing about the BEST cubes, whether it is an official puzzle or a knockoff, and restricting the flow of information cannot possibly help us towards that goal.

If they can bring out the puzzles faster and cheaper than Verdes can, and for comparable price/quality, why not buy them? Preventing third parties from creating these puzzles is just anti-competitive, not to mention stopping the community from being able to access something awesome like the 9x9x9 or 11x11x11.

Also how is this any different to say, C4U 3x3x3 cubes? They're basically knockoffs of the Rubik's Cube. Just because the patent has expired (I think...) on the Rubik's Cube, does that mean it is moral to make copies? And vice versa, was it immoral to make copies before the patent expired just because someone (the government patent system) said so?

EDIT: Does anyone know what the dimensions of the V4 would be?
