Guys, My birthday is coming up in a month and I want to get a few cubes. I want a "light" 3x3. The only thing that bothers me about the Aolong is the weight.
I can't do M slices quickly on it. I have been looking at a White Zhanchi,Weilong or Yulong.Which one should I get?
As for 2x2, Dayan or WitTwo
Mini Zhanchi or Mini Weilong for OH? I suck at OH.

Info on the Moyu 5x5/6x6? Should I just get a new SS 6x6?
I heard two things.
1. Talks of the Moyu 5x5 and 6x6 in MARCH
2. Around June I heard rumors of the 6x6 to be released in early August
Should I stop waiting and try to make/get a good 6x6 or save my money for the moyu 6x6 before I quit cubing?
I don't understand why Moyu keeps making small things such as the skewb and more 3x3s when they would very clearly make a boatload of money if they made a 6x6. Charge $100 I don't care I just want one. 5x5 idc about because florian modded 5x5s are decent.
So does anybody have any information of the 6x6 at all? Like actual information/links not just rumors.

I don't know how to solve a skewb yet and i don't even own one. What skewb should I get Shengshou, LanLan , or wait for the Moyu skewb?

As far as I know there is no new information about the moyu 5x5 and 6x6. I myself am waiting for the 5x5 to come out. I think it won't take much longer, but I've been thinking that for a month now. New information from moyu can be found (in chinese) here: http://moyucube.com

I'm thinking of getting my first 2x2, I'm already solving the 3x3 with cfop and am looking for a 2x2 speedcube. The two best out there as youtube tells me are the moyu lingpo and dayan 2x2, which would you guys say is better and give reasons.

Dayan has that smooth smooth feeling
Lingpo has a smooth crispy feeling
Dayan does'nt produce noise
Lingpo produces moise
Dayan feels heavy while turning (not sluggish)
Lingpo feels light while turning
Dayan has that bumpiness whlile turning
Lingpo ......No that much(IMO)
I feel Dayan is better that Lingpo
Both are pretty fast cubes
and i've experienced pops in both cubes
and Less to none lockups on dayan compared to the Lingpo
Good luck ....

Hi,
I have searched the forum but I only found old threads and replies to this question (older that a couple of years).
What would be a good 3x3 for OH? I have relatively big hands but when I try to do PLLs with my current two-handed cubes (YJ Chilong, Moyu Aolong, Weilong etc.) I cannot get a comfortable grip (with my left hand) that allows me to do Us with index and at the same time Rs with my pinky. I end up struggling all the time with the grip.
Would you recommend something a bit smaller, like the mini Weilong? or just a cube in looser tensions and good lube so that it turns effortlessly?
Wanting to hear what you have to say. Thanks!

Hey all, my old Rubik's cubes are kind of falling apart so I wanted to get a new nice 3x3 to play with. I've checked the wiki and browsed some posts, but I wasn't able to find any recommendations on what is currently considered to be the best 3x3 by most people. Is there such a thing? Help appreciated, sorry for such noob question ;p

Get a Moyu aolong hands down.

And to be specific, an Aolong v1 if you can find it, not the v2. From what I can tell so far, the consensus seems to be that the v1 is better despite the corner twist issue.

doh! I was convinced by Felix and kclejeune and immediately went ahead and bought an Aolong, but it's a black one so I think it defaults to V2. This V1 advice comes too late! Maybe if I get another batch later
Thanks obelisk Felix and kclejeune!

I think most people do not like the V2 because they got the earlier ones with the bad plastic. The newer ones are really really awesome.
Personally I still recommend the weilong V2.

Wow! From learning from your tutorials and PLL sheets to reading you on the forum!!! ;-) I'm a patzer so how can I recommend any cube to you? I like my AoLong v1 a lot but, to be honest I tend to like more the cubes that stay square and do not deform so easily, even if the times I get are more or less the same with all of them (from 19 to 25 most of the time). Also I like tensions to be a bit loose so I have a lot of corner twists with the AoLong that I don't get with others. Right now I use the most (in this order): YJ ChiLong, Moyu Aolong, Moyu Huanying, Moyu Weilong. I guess any of those are great but all depends on taste.
