The Ultimate Review

[brododragon]

I vote you make a section called "Hardcore, brutal reviews that give no mercy" and put the candy cube, clock, and old rubiks brans reviews I did in there

Great idea! Done.

Add this to the the hardcore section,

Name: Unknown Brand fake Rubiks Brand cube that is literraly the worst thing in the world and i prefer a rubiks brand over
Price: $∞ USD + shipping
Speed: So fast it can turn faster than gan x! it turns so fast it looks like it doesn't even turn (i wonder why)
Stablity: Most stable cube ive ever seen! it pops only like when you try to turn, which is much better than a gts3m
Corner cutting: it's so amazing the cube actually makes me feel like cutting the corner

I recommend this to anyone who wants to quit cubing, definately for cubers.

Rubik’s Brand
Price: £10 in most stores
Magnets: None
Tensions: Screws but can’t adjust
Springs: Can’t take out
Speed: Medium
Stability: Never pops, never cornertwists
Side notes: Horrible crunchy noise after breaking in, almost no cornercutting, don’t buy if you’re a speedcuber.

Is this the Rubik's speed cube or the Rubik's 2.0?

I wanted to do a 4x4 review, but cannot identify the type, so... It’s an MFJS for sure, but it could be a Meilong, S, or whatever... It was in a Favnic box from Amazon, bought as a present, so can’t tell :rolleyes:

[Help Thread] - Puzzle Identification thread

there have been a lot of threads for identifying cubes, so i thought why not put them all into one thread? Rules: 1. resize your picture (if any) 2. no spam. THIS IS NOT SANDBOX 3. Give as much description as possible or pictures of the mechanism. nobody could identify your cube if you...

After deleting the review post, if there aren’t any unanswered questions or guidelines not in the read before posting, probably delete your posts, like ‘that made me laugh’ ‘me too’ or it’ll get confusing, people replying to nonexistent posts.

Good point. Changed.

Once I (@brododragon) have liked your review, you are encouraged to delete the review. If you feel your review is important to the conversation, felt free to keep the review. Also, if there is a comment not in the review, but part of the post, I suggest you edit out the post but keep the comment. Thanks!

To chuck at the wall when you get angry

GAN 356 X Numerical IPG

Magnets: 4 different setting (null,weak,medium,strong)
Tensions: Cannot be changed
Spring: Take out center cap take out spring, swap
Speed: Fast
Stability: Has anti-pop and no corner twists

[GAN 356 X]

Aosu WRM
Price: 64 in Australia, 42.99 in america
Magnets: about medium, most importanantly suits the way the cube turns
Tensions: easy to change, can't go wrong with a classic screw.
Size: 59 mms, perfect size for me, a lot nice than my 61 mm GTS2M
Speed: About medium, not extremely fast or slow. Its my friends so its not setup the way I would set it up.
Stability: Its a modern cube, doesn't pop, Corner cutting is pretty good, no corner twists
Feeling: Clicky, not as bubbly as the GTS2M, still bubbly, sound is quite high pithced,
Note: I haven't used this extensively, but Feliks uses it and I can tell it is a very good puzzle. personally I prefer the GTS2M over this. If there was a puzzle that felt like a Gts2m but was the size of the WRM I would main it without a thought

Shengshou Mr.m Pyraminx
Price: 9USD, 15AUD
Magnets: Strong but nice
Tensions: Easy to change
Size: Average pyra size (good)
Stability: Really good but tips fall off 1 in 20 solves.
Feeling: Really smooth and nice
Note: The frosted feeling looks weird but helps a lot with gripping the puzzle, I prefer practicing on this to the bell and am getting better stackmat times because picking up the puzzle is great. I average 4 on it compared to 4.5 on the bell.

@Cubingcubecuber

These have already been done. If you want something changed, make a post about it.

Sorry, but @Cubingcubecuber just did.

 

[Deleted member 52530]

With cues that are customisable the reviewer should put in their setup. then inside say the GTS3M there will be spoilers on diiferent compressions. Same with Gan X, someone might say it's unstable but its on null magnet

 

[alexiscubing]

Name: Gan 251m
Price: 35AUD
Magnets: Strong
Tensions: Many options (general gan stuff)
Speed: Very fast
Stability: Quite unstable but magnets help
Note: I use this as my main ever since I lost my Valk2m and I can achieve my average with this cube. It is very fast but slightly uncontrollable, and overall I would say that this is my favourite 2x2 since my Cubicle labs xinghen m which disappeared about 6 months ago.
