Most overrated and underrated cubes/puzzles

[leeho]

I am so bored right now. So I thought I'd make a thread ^^. Just wondering, what is the most underrated type of 3x3 cube and overrated in your opinion. Also, what is the most overrated and underrated puzzle in your opinion. And what is your favourite xP this could help me decide on what to get. Thanks.

Edit: So it would seem that the overwhelming majority say that type As are overrated and type Cs are underrated. I couldnt agree more. I have both these cubes and my type C is far better than the type A. The type A just feels to soft and either too loose and pops alot or too tight and has rubbish turning.

overrated - type d
underrated - type c

 

[Samlambert]

overrated - type d
underrated - type c

Totally agree.

I agree with type C being underrated, I think type A is the most overrated.
joy cubes are a bit overrated as well.

I think that type-a is overrated, BTW I have never seen atype b but I have heard that Erik uses type b

 

[maxcube]

Overrated: A
Underrated: F? (I have never used one though)

 

[AvGalen]

underrated: Type F

Underrated puzzle: Skewb (or Magics as a puzzle, not as 1 practiced-to-death-finger-trick)

 

[jcuber]

Overrated: Type C (maybe I just got unlucky with the one I used to have, the centercaps would never stay on no matter what)

Underrated: Rubiks.com DIY (if only I was good at tensioning DIY's...)

but I have heard that Erik uses type b

Erik hybridizes a Rubik's DIY with it (Type B cubies, Rubik's core, centers, etc). Type F and the normal color Type Bs are underrated, I'd like to see other hybrids with Type B. Type As are overrated, the ones I bought weren't as great as everyone says, plus the quality degraded in a few months

 

[JTW2007]

Overrated: Type A!! Yes! This is my chance! Abolish Type A!!!
Underrated: C or F. Probably C though.

@Jcuber: Type C overrated?! Lies!

I think that type-a is overrated, BTW I have never seen atype b but I have heard that Erik uses type b

he uses [or used to use?] rubiks.com cubes with type-b pieces. not really type-b, the type-b is unanimously hated. haha

Overrated: ES 5x5
Underrated: Rubik's DIY

Actually he uses a type B hybridded with rubiks.com DIY or storebought cube, EVERYONE (I have never heard a good review of them) knows they are
type B(ad)

 

[Unknown.soul]

I haven't seen a review of a black or white Type B, only the painted and transparent ones. Those are terrible, I just want to know about the normal colored ones.

 

[jcuber]

Oh, IDK about regular ones. I have never been able to find a place where they are sold.

LOL, 3 or 4 people were typing about erik's cube at the same time and posted within a minute of each other.

Edit: Perhaps not only was I unlucky with my type c, but lucky with my type a (about4 months and no degrading in quality)?

 

[Faz]

Type F sucks - even with A core.

9spuzzles has them.

 

[maxcube]

Type F sucks - even with A core.

Why? I want to buy one, but I am not sure. If they're that bad I wont get one.

 

[Faz]

its one of my early vids.
