Meffert's make a wide range of regular and unusual puzzles including:
4x4x4 Cube
Now many people prefer Meffert's over eastsheen. Out of the box they are stiff but with a little lubrication and some breaking in they become quite good. It is based off the old Rubik's mechanism. This cube can cut corners better than the Eastsheen 4x4. It is less prone to lockups than a Rubik's re-tooled version. This is a recommended cube.
5x5x5 Cube
Meffert's produces 5x5 and sells them as DIY Professor cubes, though they do not have to be assembled. The center caps can be easily popped off to loosen the cube. It is extremely heavy, but it comes pre-lubed, and moves very well after breaking in.
Pyraminx
Most cubers use the Meffert's brand Pyraminx, which can be purchased at mefferts.com online store. They have two models, the original Pyraminx and the Pyraminx II, which is an improved version of the original.
Pyraminx Crystal
Megaminx
These are generally considered to be the best Megaminx, but are fairly expensive and are often out of stock, making them less accessible than the Chinese brands.
Skewb
Morphegg
A very interesting shape puzzle based on the 3x3x3 mechanism. When scrambled the puzzle changes shape, loosely resembling a pine-cone. The goal is to return the puzzle to an egg-shape. It is a similar idea to the Mirror Blocks, however some parts are identical, and others may appear solved when oriented a number of ways. This gives way to various parities which make the puzzle much more interesting, and arguably more challenging to solve than a regular 3x3x3.
