[Review] (Unpopular Opinion) Goliath NEXcube 2x2

[fdskljgrie]

I'm going to take a guess that many haven't seen this cube before. It's great. The turning is really smooth, and I've never lost grip on it which happens to me with a lot of other cubes. It is really smooth out of the box, but much better with lube. With it, I average around 2 seconds faster than my other 2x2 (2.79 AO100 vs 4.85 AO100). That, and it being $4.79 makes it an amazing cube.

The NEXcubes are just rebranded Meilongs.

my "other 2x2" is the meilong 2x2, which i average about 2 seconds more with.

Idk, never tried it

 

[Burrito]

its even in canada
i saw it in a calendar club
alright cube

 

[TheSlowCuber]

it docent have any magnets, I feel like every cube needs magnets to be good. I tried it out, but its kinda bad in my opinion. I tried to lube it, but I feel like the GAN pro 2x2 is better. Good budget cube though.

 

[Discomantis]

IMO, It is good for the price, but if you compare it to other 2x2's that are $15-$20 you will instantly see how much better the other cubes are.

The nexcube doesn't have good corner cutting, which is essential for 2x2.

I am a budget cuber, so this may be the one I get (but I did request as a gift, so maybe I will buy a $15 USD GAN one)

 

[L4NC3_D4_AS14N]

If you're on a budget to purchase a NexCube but also questioning a GAN Cube, then I would recommend an RS3M v5: while GAN Cubes are great, the one you would be looking at isn't even magnetic, unlike MoYu's recent budget cubes which are much better at a much lower price point.

dang I didn't know the RS3M V5 was a 2x2
