I don't think the Golden Cube is a 3x3. I believe it's a 2x2 Ghost Cube, and yes, they are pretty difficult. You should check out the Moyu Crazy Yileng.

Fisher Cubes are really fun.

The golden cube is a 'ghost skewb' if you will.
Although they're no longer in production and are very expensive to obtain.
Also, inb4 moved to 'what cube should I get' thread.

Wait... so I can't get the Zhanchi silk or force cube zhanchi by just buying them pre-made?

Short answer: Nope.
TheCubicle used to sell Zhanchi silks, and if you really want a force cube, you can always buy six sticker-less Zhanchis. There really isn't much of a point in doing so because the regular Zhanchi works just fine. I guess if you want a colorful Zhanchi collection, go with the force cubes.

Not anymore. Nobody sells them, AFAIK. If people still do, let me know.

If Price is no problem, the Moyu Aosu is one of the most amazing cubes ever. Otherwise, thr Shengshou 4x4 is pretty decent

I agree with that when do a solve on my Rubik's brand 4x4 and then do a solve on my Weisu it just makes me more happier to solve the Weisu without the lockups.

Haven't seen any other posts similar to mine (maybe I haven't looked hard enough -- please don't "rip" on me), so here goes a post.
I haven't cubed much in about three years. I don't have any of the cubes I used to, so I'm stuck with a Rubik's 3x3 (joy oh joy). I was wondering, what is(are) the "best" 3x3(s) out there?
I used to LOVE my F-ii, out of all the cubes I had tried. I had a Dayan Guhong and an A-V, but I just didn't care too much for those. I really disliked the Guhong.
Also, what is/are the best 5x5(s) available? I just ordered a ShengShou, so I'm basically wanting some moral support in regards to making a good decision (ha ha).

EDIT: I think it's implied, but just to clarify -- I am not familiar with any "new" brands.

hi I think I remember you from forever ago

I'm new to cubing so...
MY 3x3 Dayan GuHong V2 might be coming in the mail tomorrow!!!!!!
It's my first spped cube and I hope it comes tomorrow otherwise I'd have to take a Rubik's when I leave for camp Monday morning....
Anyhow, I hope it does and I'm ultra excited. My lube came in the mail today.
I also have a mirror cube and a curvey copter in the mail but it will be a while before I see those...
I can see how the curvey copter might be difficult but I'm not too afraid of the mirror cube. I have a Rubik's 3x3 and 4x4 and a gearball right now, and I'm thinkin' of getting the Moyu Aosu to replace my 4x4. That seems to be what a lot of people are telling me, so yeah.

Any cubes out there for Roux users?
I bought most of my mains when I still used Fridich but now in Roux some of the cubes that worked fine in Fridich don't work out as well in Roux because the M-Slice is not as good as general turning. Any recommendations?
+ Bonus Q:
Will Lube affect my M-Slice?

GuHong, Zhanchi, Weilong, and Aolong all do mid slicing just fine. I've used them all as my mains from time to time.
Lube affects everything. For me, I prefer to just barely lube and keep things as loose as I can so the M Slices flow better.

Do you think buying an Weilong would be uncontrollable for me I avg around 40 sec.
I also have the Aolong nut need to lube and break it in because it feels sluggish.

If you have the AoLong, you're fine. you don't need anything else.
As for "uncontrollable" cubes, I don't really believe in that. I've used a WeiLong since I averaged 50 seconds.

I am thinking of getting anew 4x4 because my qj seems to lock up too much. Which 4x4 should I get stickered or stickerless MoYu AoSu? Is there any 4x4 better than the MoYu AoSu?
