Stickerless QiYi Skewb (and Pyraminx)

I might buy the stickerless

Update: http://thecubicle.us/qiyi-pyraminx-p-4800.html whoa they made a pyraminx

the centers look a lot like moyu's skewb :v but it prob will be cheaper so i might get it :v

ooh much excite

the rise of qiyi :v

It looks like a tuned down moyu mechanism especially the centres.

That's exciting! Will this be on the Cubicle? When is the expected release date?

no idea

The edge mechanism is actually rotated 90 degrees from the Moyu. On the Moyu, the torpedo for the fixed corners is under the one for the floating corners, and vice versa on the Qiyi. This is why the Qiyi's floating corners have stalks and the fixed ones have the sticking out skirt thing. Overall the Moyu seems more compact. I'm not sure what that'll mean performance wise.

Brilliant!
Will probally get the stickerless as my Moyu is white and I can't solve on white. More to contribute to the death of late puzzle maker Shengshou

A lot of people still use the SS Skewb and the SS mini 7x7 and some still use the SS 6x6

While I agree that the SS mini 7x7 is a worthy Aofu rival, the 6x6 is rubbish and the skewb is worse than the Moyu as a speedcube and the Lanlan (plus possibly the Qiyi) as a budget skewb.

'Worthy rival of the aofu'
90% of people who are serious about 7x7 use a mini shengshou

The shengshou 6x6 is also hardly rubbish.

Also no way is the LanLan skewb better than the shengshou.

IMO the SS 6x6 is not that good. But it's been around so long people who've had it since the beginning have one that's extremely worn in and are used to turning it in a way that won't make it lock up or explode yet also be fast. For people who have the choice of the Aoshi and SS now I think the Aoshi would do them better. It's more stable and less locky, just way too expensive.

"90% of people who are serious about 7x7 use a mini shengshou"

One key reason for that is that the Mini SS is used over the Aofu is that the Aofu is only in pillowed, but when the cubic comes out I think you will find that the 90% will switch to the better Aofu.

"The shengshou 6x6 is also hardly rubbish."

It is rubbish. I have never tried a cube that locks up and pops as much, or is as hard to reassemble as it and would prefer a V cube 6 over an unmodded SS.

"Also no way is the LanLan skewb better than the shengshou."

If the Moyu didn't exist I would use a Lanlan as my main as I find the SS is too clicky. Plus my point was that the Qiyi will probally be better than the SS.

just swap out the springs for the ball bearings lol

I think I will stick with my Moyu

To add even more to the rise of Qiyi, they're coming out with a square-1.

I asked thecubicle.us through their Contact Us page what the new square-1s are and they replied that "The new square-1s are supposedly by QiYi and a new company called FanXin."
