First of all, are the Bochuang and Bochuang GT the same thing? Also, should I get the Bochuang or Yuxin 5x5??

 

[One Wheel]

I've got a Weichuang and a Yuxin 5x5. The Yuxin is pretty much new, and what the Weichuang is after ~400 solves, which is to say fantastic. I also have an Aochuang and a Huachuang, and those are not as good. I'm keeping the Weichuang. The other three are for sale.

I was asking if I should get a Bochuang or Yuxin...

I know. I said I don't know about the Bochuang, but I can't recommend the Yuxin highly enough.

wuque

WuQue. The GuanSu is meant as more of a budget cube, but the WuQue is on an entirely new level of good.

 

[DGCubes]

The BoChuang is the same thing as the BoChuang GT. I'd recommend the YuXin though.

I was confused with Gans Air Master and QiYi Valk 3. But I think stickerless would be fun to solve so I ordered Valk3. But getting mix online reviews for it. Don't know how it will perform. Plus, I am a newbie so don't even know how to setup/ lube/tension my cube. Pretty skeptical about the choice. Advices.

I main a Valk M (custom) stickerless. I also have a normal Valk around, that I used before I made the Valk M. Just pull the cube out of the box and use it, it is a good cube right out of the box.

If you want to tension it, etc, just make sure to keep the tensions even. And be light with the lube. I use a small amount of Traxxas 10k personally, I know different people like different feels. (also I mainly cube OH, so my cubes are setup to quick in general, so they don't tire my hand out.)

The Gans AIR cubes usually are thought to be more work to setup... and I'd agree with that, they are touchier to tension, and also there's more springs, and different lubes will work well with different springs.. etc... you see the issue. You can likely make it do anything you want. Just how long do you want to fiddle with it.

I have the Bochuang and the Yuxin. The Yuxin was my main for some time until I got the WuShuang. Now that's my new main. The are people who prefer the Bochuang over the Yuxin, though. It's a matter of preference. I like the WuShuang because it's smaller.

I have decided to buy a 4x4 from SpeedCubeShop but I can't decide between the WuQue and the GuanSu! Which one should I get?? Please don't tell me any other cubes. I just can't decide between those two.

Regardless of price, the WuQue is much better without any doubt. If you want a budget cube there are better options right now than the GuanSu but I won't make any recommendations as you just want to choose between those two, for some reason or other.

Bochaung if you like stable controlable Sandy-smooth cubes. Yuxin if you like smooth, fast and buttery smooth cubes. Most fast people like the yuxin, I prefer the bochaung. The wushuang is my main though.

 

[CornerCutter]

I was wondering what the best skewb is? I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.o_O

 

[Ordway Persyn]

I have a Shengshou, Qiyi and Cong's design, out of the three, I like the Cong's the best, though I think more people prefer the Qiyi or Moyu magnetic over it.

 

[YouCubing]

I use the QiYi but I've heard the MoYu Magnetic is pretty good
I'm getting one soon hopefully so I'll let you know if it's good (if I remember this thread at all)

 

[YouCubing]

haha yes
all of wuque
more good than guansu

 

[mark49152]

I prefer the BoChuang. The sandiness goes away with breaking in and it's beautifully smooth. The Yuxin is still good but I don't seem to get as good times on it.

 

[DGCubes]

I voted QiYi, but I haven't gotten a Skewb in quite a while, so my opinion's probably a bit outdated. The QiYi is very good, but there are probably better Skewbs now.

 

[Sion]

I hear the QiCheng is the best qiyi and the magnetic is the best moyu. I bet we may have a better skewb in the future *nudge*

For 2x2-7x7, (excluding 4x4) which cubes have a feel as close as possible to the Qiyi Wuque while still performing very well?

 

[Dash Lambda]

I'm assuming all the Wu-line cubes feel similar. I have the WuQue and the WuHua, and aside from the catching in the WuHua (which might not be present on newer batch or stickerless cubes, but that's not confirmed), they have a very similar, swishy, light feeling on the inner layers, and a very similar fluid or rolling feeling on the outer layers.
I've heard that the Wushuang and WuJi feel similar as well, which makes sense, because they're in the same series and use the same basic type of mechanism as the even-order cubes.

I'd say the Valk feels like the WuQue, except blocky. I don't know about 2x2, but I'd bet the corresponding QiYi cube is close.
