Has lighttake always sold higher order cubes? They have the SS Mini 7x7 and also the CB 5x5. By the way it's only $9 there, wish I saw that before I ordered from the Cubicle :/

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm just wondering which of those three have a buttery smooth or crispy feel. Also I don't really like unstable cubes so

the weilong is fast, smooth, a little bumpy/crispy, and more stable thatn the aolong. IMO, the weilong is still the best cube on the market. Feliks would beat his WR ao 5 if he switched back to it. lol.

lol nope. bias is impossible to overcome. hualong is unstable. if the hualong is too unstable for most cfop solers, then a roux solver just cant even.

K thanks and should I get the YJ yusu 4x4 or yuxin 4x4 but I'm not getting an aosu

if you need to buy something soon, yuxin. nobody really knows how the yusu is, although it seems like a downgraded aosu. Get the yuxin.

Hi guys,
I have recently come back to solving cubes, cuboids and other twisty puzzles. I stopped a few months ago due to real life, but now I'm back
I'd just like some opinions on some cool new puzzles to buy. I'm looking for things like cuboids or challenging puzzles other than normal cubes. I already have:
- all standard cubes from 2x2 - 7x7
- 2x3x3
- 3x3x5
- 4x4x6
- 3x4x5 (on the way)
- Helicopter cube
- and a few other puzzles that I got as gifts (don't know their names)
I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have, thanks

No problem, let us know how it is!

 

[Anubis]

It's the YJ yulong which is apparently a REALLY good cube!

nice! btw how much did it cost you?

The cube I learned on was a Cyclone boys stickerless. When I was learning, I thought it turned great. Now that I can solve a cube in under a minute, I feel that it turns really bad XD

 

[TraciAG]

So...made my first impressions of the Cyclone Boy 5x5. It's pretty bad (the video-the cube is great!), I didn't really know what to talk about, cube wasn't really in frame, and I MEANT to say that it was $9 from Lighttake** not Cubezz! But hey...better than nothing. I linked to places you can buy this cube in the description.

With practice, maybe I will get better at talking on camera.

Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to picking one up. How is the size compared to the AoChuang and the ShengShou? For whatever reason, the AoChuang feels small and fiddly to me even though it is the same size as the ShengShou. Maybe it has to do with how much the external surface of the cubies are rounded.

Then you will be happy because the CB is a little bigger than the Aochuang, only by a few mm. Physically it feels like a Shengshou, except it's fast and not locky, and can corner cut and doesn't pop.

Awesome, thanks. Sounds like a great cube for me.

Dayan vs. Yuhu?

Does the Yuxin 4x4 feel like the Yuxin 3x3 at all? I've got three modern cubes and while I really like my Aolong v2 and Yueying, I don't really like the Yuxin much. It's too stretchy/unstable and tensioning it enough to get rid of that seems to make it lose its other virtues.

 

[cashis]

hows the yuxin 3x3? I have a 356 and its basically dead, after around 6000 solves. does the yuxin still stand up to other cubes?
also, how about the meiying?

I wouldn't know, I don't have the yuxin 3x3

 

[OniiChan]

Hello! This is kinda off topic but: What feel does the Gans 356 have (Scratchy, buttery smooth, etc.) and what issues have you experienced with it? I've been looking into a new main and I've been interested in it lately.
