What 3x3x3 cube should I buy?

Funny how they call the Square-1 a Special Irregularly Shaped Magic Cube IQ Puzzle.

Most of the people that says C4Y cubes are good don't have any other DIY's atleast that's my impression, they stuck up way too much. Buy a type C or type F

Of all DIYs I have, the White type C and my black type F are my favorites!!!
Type F is really smooth and type C has a nice feedback, IMO...

1) Edison (really nice cube)
2) Type D with old A core (and old screws...)
3) Black AIII (as good as my C4Y one)
(4) C4Y Cube black
5) Black type F

I have a C4Y cube. I love it. It's my best cube currently. Personally I think it's a good all-rounder. It suits a style that hybrids between choppy and smooth. It feels really steady but when it locks up it feels really...awkward; throws you off abit. Type C has to come next. Purely because it's amazing in every single way and...it's cheap! Type Cs are for a more aggressive style IMO. The next one is type D. I have a type D with type A core, I heard it was good. It probably is for some people but I don't like it very much because it doesn't suit my style very well. Type D's are for a choppy and accurate style. They are practically unpoppable unlike the type C and C4Y cubes that I own. Next, is Diansheng! I love diansheng for one handed. It's light and sturdy. It's fast and choppy (alot like a type D) however for some reason, I like the feel of it much more than a type D.
Sorry you had to read that essay. >_< Hope this helps.

From personal experience I would say head over to cubeforyou.com and check out there 3x3 section. I suggest Type A DIY's, Dianshengs (although they are cheap they are pretty decent cubes, I have a decent one anyway. Its my speed cube ) and Already Assembled C4Y Speed Cube. Also invest in cubesmith tiles or stickers so your cube is perfect to look at and solve

Which is better. Tiles or stickers?

my favorite is probably the Type C, it's an awesome cube that strikes a good balance between cutting corners, control and stability.

recently i've been using a Japanese edition Rubik's DIY for practice, it's heavier, smoother, and locks up more.

usually a Diansheng for OH, it's light and easy to control/doesn't overturn.
