Wow, I'm impressed by the C4U cube, seems it's great. I've got two of them on their way to me, so I'm excited to use them.

How does the C4U cube compare to Joys and Edisons?

I have a thread about the c4y cube and edison:

I've concluded that the Edison is better, but then the JSK clone comes into play.

Comparing the Joy to the Edison, its a bit lighter much looser, and just seems to feel a bit cheaper. Apparently the Joys are better for OH cubing.
 
C4Y gray type C ftw. I just built this cube 2 days ago, and I've already broken my pb single, I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking my pb average once I get used to the feel of it, and I am just generally loving this cube. In my 11 years of speedcubing this is easily one of the best cubes I have ever owned.

Best cube, by far, IMHO

I've been a cuber since the early '80s, but I wouldn't call myself a speedcuber (yet). Just getting into trying to drop my times. Anyway, I own about 75 or 80 cubes (2x2x2's through 7x7x7's) and the best cube I've ever come across is from tndtoys.com. I got it on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and it's far and away better than my DIY cubes, my DianShengs, better than ANY of my cubes. Here's a link to the eBay sale ($14.99, free shipping):

Anyone else had any experience with this company's cubes? I only ordered it because it was a brand I hadn't heard of. I'd be interested to hear what others have thought of these.
 
"Ghost Hand"

Found out a little more about my favorite cube. Another eBay seller translates the main logo on the box as "Ghost Hand" and the 3 characters next to the main logo as "the finger is dancing while playing". The same seller says they're "a new cube on the market." Doesn't surprise me; no one I know has ever heard of them.

When it arrived, it was a little too loose; loose enough that you could pop out an edge piece easily with a finger. The center caps are perfect, though; snug fit; took a utility knife to ease them out. I tightened it up a few turns, and, I'm telling you, it's FAR and AWAY the best cube I own now, with no additional lubrication, and I own close to a hundred cubes. I think it's lubed a tiny bit before it's shipped, but I couldn't see any when I took it apart to tighten it.

I must say, though, as a sort of disclaimer, that I've yet to try out a C4Y DIY cube, nor have I tried an Edison or a Joy. (Probably order a few of those on payday...) The best cube I've tried before my new "Ghost Hand" is a DIY I ordered from the rubiks.com website.

Anyone else tried this cube, and if so, what'd you think?
 
whenever I see a thread like this, I laugh. And then I feel the pain of the moderators. so I cry. and then I tend to forget what I was crying about and say that it's all about preference.

but my cube is a modded old type-a. I like it, but you're not me so you probably won't like it. and you're also not all the other people around here, so you might not like it the cubes they suggest. :D

just try one and if you don't like it buy another one :p
 
Type A II, hands down.
Third day of using it I broke both my single and average PB... with no sleep in 43 hours (I had NO lookahead and NO idea how to solve a cube... it was more the cube than anything else).

If Eastsheen had a 3x3x3, it'd be the best, too. :P

I just received three, two white and one black. They're awesome. Very smooth right out of the box, and I love how even the name "ghost hand" makes sense, as twisting it makes a friction sound somewhat like whispering or the wind blowing. They came slightly lubed, I believe. The pieces look very similar to type F, will compare later. I'll probably tighten them a bit, will change the stickers (some colors aren't good), and will lube them myself.

In a before-prepared-by-myself comparison, easily the best cubes I ever got (and I got most types, including rubik/c4u/joy/edison/A/C/D/E/F). They might actually already be the best cubes I have. I'm quite excited right now and look forward to an average-of-100 soon. Btw, I only paid $29.97 including free shipping.

Finally, someone else...

...has tried it! Yeah, there's a new seller on eBay that has them (Ghost Hand cubes) for $9.76 shipped!!! And it includes a cube pouch! (Love the "Dare to do!" on it! I paid 15 each for mine, but they were WELL worth it. Here's the link for the $9.76 guy:

Yeah, I tightened mine up considerably; very loose out of the box.

Mine just came today...very interesting. Looks just like the F mold, but the plastic seems to be different, feels harder. The F was pretty quiet to begin with, but the Ghost Hand is *really* smooth, right out of the box. Mine is rather tight, does not cut as deep as my F, so maybe there's some variation in manufacturing...I think I may loosen it. Also, the red stickers are almost the same color as orange, much like some of the DianShengs, so that just won't do...

All in all, I'm excited. It feels like a better quality F, and F was my fastest cube. A little time and adjustment will tell...
