Cong's Design 4x4

[Ordway Persyn]

I just got it.

This thing is awful.

Uh oh, Hopefully it's like the CB as you have to set it up and break it in. Do you see any potential in it to be good?

Very little.

It was super tight, so I loosened every side a quarter turn. And it went from tight to exploding. It uses a old anti misalignment mech and I have no clue why. It's difficult to assemble, sandy, outer layers were catchy, etc. I'm sure it'll get a bit better. But this one sucks.

Shame on you, Cong.

Ouch, the design looked promising

The design is a nightmare for assembly lol.

Is this the AoSu killer?!?!?!?

Oh dear. All good 4x4s are sooo hard to assemble.. (except Cong's apparently isn't good)

Rubik's, QJs and Meffert's weren't. Just sayin'.

They weren't a pain to assemble, they were a pain to solve (sorry, i couldn't resist)
Anyway as far as the outer layers catching, the yuxin did that a lot, you've just gotta break it in, don't know about the other problems though :/

Yeah, I love the YuXin, it makes me actually WANT to practice 4x4, unlike the AoSu

I know Right, its just got such a crispy and light feel to it, if there was a 3x3 that felt like that I'd never go back The corner cutting is a bit annoying though :/

yess such a nice feel

I'm still hoping this turns out alright
Been looking forward to it for quite a while

Pun intended?

anyway, does anyone else besides Chris have this cube?

I do. Also don't recommend it

I don't get why a 4x4 needs squared off corners. Corner twists on a 4x4 require the corner piece to flex much more than it realistically ever should.

Yeah, Every 4x4 I have feels like it would break or explode before the corner would twist.

 

[DGCubes]

Yeah, there's no point for a square corner design on anything other than 3x3 (unless there's something I'm missing here). Maybe it'll be possible to sand down the corners to make it better? I doubt that'll fix any speed issues though.

Maybe it is just the trend of cubes these days, and most 3x3s these days have square corners, so the designers probably have thought, "Why not square corners on a 4x4?"

I've actually gotten corner twists on an Aosu, but it was on fairly loose tensions.
