I don't own either of these*** However on thecubicle the reviews for the cloud are better. And I have seen several people recommend the cloud to other people for budget 5x5.

One more thing. What 2x2 should I buy? I always wanted the gan 249 (not v2) and im not sure if the performance is good.
Personal if I would get a 2x2 I would get the Qiyi Wuxia M over the Gans 2x2, but if I were to get either the Gan 249 v1 or v2 I would get the v2. I have tried both and the performance on the v2 in much better then the v1, however if you are just wanting to purchase a 2x2 with not really caring about getting the better preforming cube and just adding the v1 to your collection then the v1 is a option. I again would get the v2 over the v1 any day, just due to the fact that the performence in better and and it does not have the faults that the v1 did.

Do qiyi concave magnetic skewb has ball bearings in it? I always wondering if those balls will make the magnets not very useful...

The magnetic Qiyi Wingy Skewb does not have any ball barrings like the original Qiyi Skewb. The magnets have replaced the ball barrings and give it a more smooth feeling. With the magnets you can still feel the bumps when turning but it is not quite as rough as with the ball barrings. The same applies to the Moyu magnetic Skewb as well.

I am a new cuber and have just started to learn cfop, I have been using a Rubiks brand and have decided to get a new 3*3 upgrade. I'm just not sure which one to get?

Looking for some input on a variety of puzzles:

1) Best fully proportional 3x3x4

2) Best fully proportional 2x2x4

3) Are there any 2x2s that are larger than 50mm other than the 55mm Fangshi?

Thanks in advance.

ok, so, I have 10 cubes on my shelf (not counting dupes), and have 2 more coming in the mail, so I'll have a total of 12. Problem is, one of them is a megaminx, which I have only really solved once, and probably will never do again. Talk about tedious. WAY too many small pieces for me (now, am I just being lazy? Maybe, but the bottom line is it was not enjoyable for me.).

So, what's the problem? I can't stand having a cube on the shelf that I can't really solve, knowing that I will prolly never force myself to learn, so I will prolly get rid of it. But, that leaves me with a BIGGER problem. I will have an odd number of puzzles (there has to be people out there that understand this).

So, I need one more puzzle. Not sure what to get. Below is what I have right now:

2x2
3x3
4x4
5x5
2x2 mirror
3x3 mirror
Square one
2x2x3
Pyraminx
Skewb
3x3 barrel

I don't want anything "skewb-like", I find that puzzle incredibly boring, and am not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole of just getting bigger and bigger cubes (I.e., 6x6, 7x7, etc...)...

Anyone got any suggestions?

Isn't it a dimilar dilemma with your Skweb as you have a Cube on your shelf you don't want to solve?
