Review of Main 3x3x3 Cube Models and Clarification on the Naming System of Type A

[pentrixter]

Rubikfans seems to call the 222 "Diansheng stickers" and the 333 "Diansheng printing." Not sure what to think about that.

 

[howtocube (JB)]

i'm buying both next week so I'll let you know.

 

[rubixcuber]

you're missing the type g and q from hknowstore.com

 

[pentrixter]

No. The naming system used by the HKNowStore is messed up, making it difficult to tell what type of cubes they are really selling. The only good way to determine the real type of cube they sell is by looking at the pictures.

Type G is simply a Type A I or an Old Type A
Type Q is... a JSK or a JSK clone. Either way, nothing new.

i just got an edison today but it turns really bad and the cutting corners isnt to great. how long does it take to break in or is it supposed to be that. it kinda feels like my rubiks brand but heavier and slower

This is extraordinarily useful, pentrixter. Despite the fact it isn't 100% complete, it's saved me hours of research, and has great info.

Isn't the picture of the New Type A II a Type A Third Model?

[pentrixter]

Please read the first section of my the post, "Clarification on the Naming System of the Type A." There's nothing third model about it. I have no idea why it's named that.

 

[esquimalt1]

Ah i see it now, I think c4y should label it the way you have it here with the sealed edges and the non sealed edges. I think you should ask pestvic what he thinks of the new type A I because he has it and he said it's a good cube.

Resistance to Pop/Lockups?

 

[pentrixter]

wtf kind of question is that?

 

[richardzhang]

u said no one uses type b's well lance the blue knight uses them

 

[pentrixter]

Yea, but the underlying message in the exaggeration, "no one uses Type Bs" is the fact that the Type B is a pretty bad cube.

 

[esquimalt1]

lance uses his edison now

 

[spdcbr]

Edison's are about the same as a Rubik's storebrought with no breaking in.

 

[pentrixter]

That's just wrong.

You wouldn't get any business from us unless you have a website.

Hmm... I would if the Ghost Hand can be qualified as a "Main 3x3x3 Cube Model." I was originally planning on making another thread with indie models such as the Ghost Hand and the Nameless Cubes mentioned in this thread: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13295

In that thread I asked people if they think I should make an indie cube review thread but no one replied to that question.
