What puzzle should I get if I want an icosahedron,

mf8 Oskar icosahedron cube V1 Eitan Star turn face [ZiiCube]

At special price $48.87. Available in Black. Limited stock! Buy mf8 Oskar icosahedron cube V1 Eitan Star turn face now.

www.ziicube.com

is this a nice idea?

I had mine delivered a few days ago and it's pretty sweet. I haven't had time to break it in but it's definitely worth it. It has better turning then Icosaix or Radiolarian II, which have 1 direction turning iirc.

I'd go with the Radiolarian, it's the icosahedral equivalent to the FTO (in that it is a shallow face-turning puzzle with no centers). I can't comment on its turning as I don't have one.

In my opinion dont get a GAN pyraminx, its so locky. I recomment the Moyu RS M

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

what cubes should i consider getting? My choices right now are:
Aosu V7 double track
Aouchuang V6 single-track
Diansheng FTO
YJ MGC Square-1
Dayan Zhanchi Pro V5 or whatever the name is
Is there any other puzzles i should add? I also feel we shoukd revive this thread considering many people have been creating new threads for the same topic.

Get an FTO if you don't already have one, it's very unique as opposed to being a better version of a cube you already have.

Dayan fto is much better, only get the diansheng if it’s the only one in your price range and you wanna assemble it back together every 100 or so solves

Okay, so I wanna get a new 3x3 for my next comp. I'm planning on getting the WRM V10, 20 magnet ball core, maglev and uv, and my cube preference is the cube sounding more quiet, feeling glossy and also turning fast and smooth.

I just got my Rs3m v5 in the mail and with enough setup I think its good cube u should get

For the money you pay for a V10, I would highly recommend the RS3M V5 and save your money to buy a donor cube (and some tissues) when you inevitably drop it and a corner piece breaks, rather than having no money left for tissues to cry into when you drop a V10 and the core breaks instead.

Plus, the V5 is far more balanced, but definitely needs a more precise and fine-tuned setup. Its a toss-up between low cost and ease of use.

yeah the rs3m v5 is so good I recommend the ball core version and the robot is cool

I'm so out of the cubing loop anymore (took a break), what are the best 4x4-7x7s now? I know the mgc series ofc, but other than that are there any options i should genuinely go for? Thanks in advance

I think generally the aosu v7, aochuang v6, aoshi, and aofu are the recommended ones, but for 7x7 i've seen some people use meilong v2ms

 

[Kami]

for 4x4, go with the vin. all else go with the moyu flagships

 

[Isaiah Scott]

I think the AoSu is the best unless you have gargantuan size hands

I recently got an auso v7, but why are the middle magnets stronger that the outer layer ones?

It's a standard feature of big cubes to make 3x3 stage easier.

That's standard across basically every big cube. It keeps the inner layers together when you're doing 3x3 stage.
