I too have been looking at those. Course, I'm even even qualified as a 'speedcuber' yet but... I'm addicted, dangit, and I want more cubes!

Actually this is a different, boxed version. I think.

i might get one each of the new type F and C's but that will still be in november or so

Oh darn it, I bought my type f (i) just a couple of days ago which became worse only after a few days of usage, but it was really good when I first got it.

I did clean it and I don't want to sand it. I have a fake one, perhaps that's why the quality went down so fast...

Darn it! I just ordered a "C II" and now there's this "F II." Grrr!

 

[Robert-Y]

The design of the type F II edges seem familiar.

The C-II arrived just now.

Hmm...right out of the box, it's terrible. Very tight, lots of friction. It has a little bit of some oily lube on it from the factory, but it doesn't feel lubricated... No, I'm going to shoot some Jig-A-Loo in there. I have a feeling I'm going to have to loosen it some, too...

Too early to be disappointed. Stay tuned...

Update: The problem was the tension; it was way too tight, and once I loosened it some it began to behave less like a storebought and more like a speedcube. But for some reason it still felt slow. I can appreciate the sealed cubies; after all, the F is insane (at least when it's brand new), but the C-II just feels sluggish and heavy.

I happened to order an old C in this same batch and it's light and fast, as a C should be. The C-II isn't THAT much different; the core is the same, the screws are the same...but it's just so heavy and mushy compared to the old C. Ehhh...I dunno about this one...it seemed so promising, but I'm not happy with it so far.
