    Default Is it worth getting a ShengShou 6x6?

    Hey, I have a V Cube 6 but I am disappointed. It's too clicky and as a result I barely ever solve it. Is it worth spending the money on a ShengShou or should I just mod it?

    If you can mod it right, mod it, if not, get SS

    A V-6 needs a lot of breaking in for it to be good from what I have heard. If you are willing to spend a lot of time modding, then mod it. If not, get the ShengShou.

    Don't worry about spending a lot of time modding - all I have done with mine is sand the inner wedges down, and glue the little tabs. Yeah, I still have the click, but it lessens with age.
    Only Link can take my NR from me.

    That's all I've done to mine aswell, and it really works. The outer layers turn much faster, and the click isn't even noticable some times. No point buying another puzzle when you have a good one right there already

    I like my shengshou 6x6. I did a couple of mods, and replaced the springs/washers with a dayan set. If you have a perfectly good v-cube, then you don't need to get a shengshou, but the shengshou CAN be a good puzzle.

    The SS definitely needs breaking in though. Don't expect it to be good out of the box.
    My team sucks.

    Not as much breaking in. The modding can be time consuming though. Still not as much modding as the full MMAP mod. If you can do the full MMAP mod, the v-cube will probably be better.
