but when I ordered the 8 and 9 what I got was matte...

View attachment 17294

then I ordered the Shengshou 8 Tank,.. and it was also matte.

I also have the stickered (rubiks lookings) shengshou up to 11, but they're stickered,.. and I have the V-Cube up to 9,..and they're consistent,.. (except the 5x5 is squared for some crazy reason.)

So for the sake of my OCD I need an 8 and 9 that are actually glossy for my stickerless collection.

The Diansheng 2x2 I ordered is glossy and is really good, it's actually probably my favorite 2x2, so I have high hopes that the Diansheng 8x8 and 9x9 are good cubes that are glossy.

I have no idea why Moyu Meilong line gave me 8x8 and 9x9 in a matte finish when all the other cubes of theirs I bought up to 12x12 are all shiny and glossy. I actually find it irritating, I don't like matte finish cubes. Even the 3x3 Gans I prefer the UV coating over the soft matte finish. I just don't really care for the feel. They feel like frosted glass or a chalkboard, it's not pleasant feeling to me.

It's one of the reasons I usually prefer a stickered cube.

I swear, if the diansheng 8x8 and 9x9 not glossy....

idk if we are looking at the same pictures because it doesn't look glossy in the pictures to me

I see light and reflections..

reflection of the M slice on the red top, and white light reflecting off the edge of the red

see the edge of the blue? White light reflecting

the cube in these pics isn't matte. Matte doesn't reflect.

I'm not saying I was tricked and lied to when I ordered,.. but I didn't get in the mail what I saw in the pics. Lol

My RS3M 2020 started off sort of matte but actually is now somewhat reflective, between matte and glossy. I can take pictures but perhaps that's what happened here.

By the time I was done with it, my RS3M 2020 was fully glossy.

Mine is glossy too. But in the beginning, when it wasn't, it wasn't too grippy. I cleaned it using clorox wipes, and it did give more grip, but only for a short period of time.

Wonder why that happens. Do they put like a coating on the plastic to make it matte?

TC has uv coated their enhanced scewb and prya.

What was it before? When I tried my friends GAN pyraminx and skewb I thought it was UV.

 

[CFOP INC]

I'm pretty sure it's frosted.

edit. Okay just checked says it's a hyper polished finish or something. prob early uv experimenting to see if it would catch on

I believe it's the other way around - there's no finish or coating, which makes it matte. Something like that. Essentially by solving you're polishing it.

Sorry, I tried seeing the video but it wouldn't load because both of my computers evidently have problems with Twitch. (It's not your fault, but I just thought I'd let you know.) What's the video of?

Is it like a budget line? (I can't load the vid but that's my problem)

Is it like a budget line? (I can't load the vid but that's my problem)

ok heres everything I know:

Its a budget line, supposed to be the predecessor to the Qiyi MS, but the prices might be slightly higher. It is supposed to be a toned-down version of the tornado. The 2x2 is ok, the 3x3 is very good, the 4x4 is trash, and the 5x5 is quite good for its price. The pyraminx is alright, but there are better options. The 3x3 features a toned-down tornado v2 adjustment system, and they are all glossy plastic with black internals and magnets.
