5x5 help

[crazycubes57]

hello i just bought my new eastsheen 4x4 and i would like to purchase a 5x5. What kind is the best? HELP!

Most people prefer the V-Cube 5x5 found here: http://v-cubes.com/pr_5.php

v cube 5
but if you can't afford one just go with eastsheen

If you have the funds, buy a V5. If you're poor, I'd buy a Eastsheen 5x5.

Total cost of a V5 (V-Cube 5) to Australia: About $60.

Total cost of an Eastsheen 5x5 to Australia: About $29.

if you cant afford vcube i think a mefferts or qj (really just the same thing but cheaper) would be best

Go for the v cube.

@cubeninja: Mefferts and QJ 5x5's are the same, not v-cubes, QJ, and mefferts. The v-cube mechanism is completely different and much better. Just clarifying.

V-cube > QJ > Mefferts > Eastsheen > Being shot at > Rubiks > Absolutely nothing can be this bad

V-cube > QJ > Mefferts > Eastsheen > Being shot at > Rubiks > Absolutely nothing can be this bad

This one line says it all

V-cube > QJ > Mefferts > Eastsheen > Being shot at > Rubiks > Absolutely nothing can be this bad

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I would say get an eastsheen over a mefferts/qj if you cannot afford a v-cube. Eastsheen 5x5s are lighter and smaller, and mefferts/qj cubes use the rubik's mech.

Sorry if this is a little off topic.

But my Mefferts 5x5x5 have just came and it turns really bad, it's very stiff. I can't do 5x5x5 BLD with something like this What can I do besides lubricating it?

Loosen the screws by flipping off the centre cap perhaps?
