    Practically every big cube by ShengShou is the best; big ShengShou cubes (4x4x4 and up) are theoretically knock-offs, but they're practically a lot better since ShengShou enhances the mechanisms.

    Knowing this, and provided the 58 votes for ShengShou compared to 0 and 1 for the rest, basically renders my recommendation self-explanatory.

    NO. The vast majority of V-5s suck straight from the box. Far too tight.

    Plus they have that bumpy feeling that will only go away with extreme use or modding.
    I live in Canada, I literally have to warm up before I cube :)

    Have you modded your Shengshou? Modding reduces lockups by a ridiculous amount.

    If you need to break it in, you did the mods incorrectly.

    Mine didn't lock up at all when it was um modded. I don't understand why everyone else's did. But of course once I modded it the turning got a lot better.
