Hows the moyu dianma? Which kind of cuber will love this?

It's a smooth cube with very good corner cutting. It has a nice solid feel and turning has more resistance than most cubes. That slows it down a bit but I found it helped build strength and accuracy. The biggest drawback is that the narrow centers make it awkward to slices, especially if you have bigger hands. Definitely not a good main for a fast speedcuber but an interesting one to practice with from time to time. A beginner or intermediate cuber with smaller hands might love this as it's extremely controllable.

Gonna buy one thing from the the Cubicle's Other Puzzles, Skewb, or Square-1 section.

Want something pretty cheap. Currently considering a Void Cube but I'm not sure. Also not a 2x2x1.

Looking to get into megaminx here. Should I get the mf8 v2 or Shengshou megaminx? MF8 is $10 and Shengshou is about $7 on cubezz.

What is a good 3x3 for a 45 second solver using a gouhong

 

[MJ CUBER]

Mj Cuber both of your listed options are good.

What cube should i get between gear cube and aolong v2?

I personally think that void cubes are pointless because you can just take the center caps off of your 3x3 and scramble and solve that. Also your 3x3 will (probably) turn WAY better than any void cube. I guess I'd suggest a SS mirror blocks, a 3x3x2, a SS mastermorphix, or a skewb.

Along v2 or fangshi?

Aolong may be too fast/uncontrollable for you, (it's really fast in general) but I think you should stick to your guhong. If needed, I guess you COULD buy a fangshi. (v2 is better though) Just learn new techniques.

I have pretty small hands. I am torn between a mini weilong, mini aolong,and a aolong v2. Which cube should I get??

I am a speed cuber who averages around 57 seconds (I just learnt Intuitive F2L, 2-Look OLL and 2-Look PLL). I have a year old Ghost Hand (Internally damaged, but still better than storebought). I have been cubing for 2 years. I cannot decide between: Alpha V, DaYan GuHong V2, DaYan ZhanChi, FangShi ShuangRen II, MoYu AoLong, MoYu WeiLong II and a ShengShou Aurora. You can recommend another cube also.

Dayan has a very good megaminx.

I've tried most of the cubes you listed and my favorite is the WeiLong.

Dayan has a very good megaminx.

I think it's too expensive for now. I want something good, but not TOO good.

ShengShou megaminx is decent and pretty cheap.

Thanks for the reply, only one I'm not also getting that you listed is the Mastermorphix. I might look into the morphix...

Can't you get parity on a void cube? Does that work when taking off center caps?

Yes you will still get void parity.

I've narrowed my list down to the Zhanchi,Liying and Fangshi? Which one? I like light and fast cubes unlike the Weilong which is heavy and fast.

The WeiLong weighs 98 grams. The ZhanChi weighs 90 grams and the FangShi weighs 80 grams. I don't know about the LiYing but the FangShi sounds like your kind of cube if you're looking for fast and light.
