? Everybody knows that Rubik’s doesn’t make the best cubes.....

I actually think its a great cube for a beginning speedcuber. At the $9-$10 price point its perfect because it's still pretty cheap but on par with some of the best cubes of the last couple years. A lot of really fast cubers mained the Thunderclap V1 for a while, and it was touted as sort of an "Aolong V3" since it was sort of a spiritual successor to the wildly popular Aolong V2.
That said, its design is somewhat outdated by today's standards. It does not have the anti-twist corner design of today's cubes, and it has a really springy, bumpy, and flexible feel that was in vogue a couple years go.
For a beginner though it can be pretty forgiving if set up properly and you won't really need to worry about corner twists until you get a bit faster. At that point you might be looking into a higher end cube anyway. All in all, it's a pretty good cube.
Do you know or have informations if the will make a futur stickerlss version with a normal colorsheme and not a pink face ?
Thanks

No idea how good it is but try to not post three times
Sry it didnt post so i tried it again but it didnt then I did it again and it worked and only one showed up
Shengshou has produced multiple megaminxes; there's the first(?) one that has no name, the Aurora, and the Pearl. The Aurora and the Pearl are said to be decent out-of-the-box, but their first megaminx requires modding and a lot of breaking in.
(I've never tried any of Shengshou's megaminxes, just for the record, so I don't know how they stack up to other megaminxes on the market. However, as a beginner, you don't need the best hardware ever, so it doesn't really matter even if you get a mediocre megaminx.)

I'd say the Thunderclap is better

I really like both. I don't think you can go wrong.

I'd bet you that if you contact the Cubicle they'd fix the problem.

What is the best budget 5x5?
FireCuber

That question had been asked before and a few people said this:
"I'd say the QiZheng S. $9 for a cube that's almost on par with other 5x5s cubes. It has modern designs and (I think) a frosted surface. It's value."
Hope this helps!
Hey guys. Sort of a silly question that I'm not 100% sure what subforum to ask this.
I was most active in 2010, when among the "better" cubes were F2, the original Guhong, A5, etc. I'm looking to buy a couple 3x3s, but so many have released in the last several years, it's overwhelming to know where to even begin.
I see that reviews haven't evolved much, lots of emphasis on "corning cutting" and whatnot, and apparently almost every cube is competitive on some level.
So I'm asking, what do you guys like?
My favorites were cubes that don't have too much going on in them. If this description means anything to anyone - the 2nd or 3rd Guhong iteration had torpidos in them, I hated how it turned. Far too much friction. The Taiyan (not well known I believe), original Guhong, and V-Cube were my go-to's.
If context matters at all, I average about 16 seconds.

Id say the best budget cubes are Yuxin Little Magic and Mf3rs. More expensive- Qiyi Valk, Moyu Gts2. Even more expensive- GTS2M Cubicle, Gan Air SM.

Magnetic cubes are used by almost everyone fast now. Personally, I'd recommend the MoYu WeiLong GTS2 M or the Gan356 Air SM.
