This is an Alpha / Type A cube I have that I have not been able to identify due to its weird hole center edge design.
I bought either an Alpha I or Alpha II but this doesn't look like either.

Look at this thread https://www.speedsolving.com/thread...tion-of-the-naming-of-the-alpha-series.30322/

I looked at that thread. none of the centers look like the one I have. The edges I guess are closest to an Alpha V.

What is this cube? A non-cuber showed it to me. It's not magnetic and feels like a cheap Qiyi cube. About 35 degree corner cutting. About 20 degree reverse corner cutting. Pretty loose, and I don't think he knows how to adjust cubes.

I don’t think it’s a warrior or warrior W as this blue is much darker

I think it looks like a Cong’s design 3x3 but not sure if it’s a meiying or yueying

I bought this magnetic cube a few years ago and it broke. I really liked it but can't remember what brand it is. Please help.

I'm taking a guess that it is a moyu cube. The center piece design is the first thing that stands out to me. Maybe a weilong gts2m? or a weilong gts?

I'm pretty sure that its a Tornado v1

I have a warrior w and I dont think thats what it is. Mmmmaybe.... I've seen a cube at walmart, and I have it. Just a cheap Nexgen, but they put their logo on the blue side

Just discovered this thread (amazing, I know) and wanted to ask about this:

It’s a Mo Fang Ge (QiYi right) pyraminx, has ridiculously strong magnets in the tips, and in the cube itself. Feels dry and sandy, seems like an old cube. No idea where I got it from but I’ve only been cubing since 2019.

is it glossy or matte?

If its matte, that's the qiyi qiming
Those are not magnets, but ball bearings that simulate magnets.

QiYi QiMing Pyraminx

The QiYi QiMing Pyraminx is a new entry level pyraminx that has just hit the market. With many modern features and a very affordable price, the QiMing Pyraminx is expected to make the pyraminx puzzle event more accessible to all speedcubers of all ages.

I used to have one but I gave it to my brother.

Glossy, I dropped it a lot when it was the only pyraminx I had.

It has no cc at all, reverse is okay, but pops a lot. The tiles come out very easily from the tips.

then I don't know. The matte might have worn out because that's definitely not a qiyi ms

It could be the original qiyi pyraminx

This is the original qiyi pyraminx

definitely not. first of all it has an alpha logo and second the weilongs all have a very noticeable center piece lip

weilong v1

So I asked Calvin Fan from hknowstore and he says he checked with Alpha / mf8 (they're the same company? and alpha still exists?) and they have no idea what the cube is.

I saw some videos on youtube of a stickerless 4x4 that has only 2 colors, the top half is green and the bottom half is orange if I'm not mistaken

the different colored pieces have different sizes, so when solved one half is bigger than the other but you can make other patterns with it

but I can't find the videos anymore and I have no idea what the cube is called... it looks like the first name of a person (?)

does anybody know the name of the cube?

The center bezels make me think it´s a Meilong.

Anyone know what this cube is? It isn’t an Alpha 1, and don’t pay attention to the stickers as the stickers i was given was just a random set. Thanks.

I want to know as well since I'm the one who gave him the cube. Also here are some more photos of another copy of the cube I have.
