Cube With The Least Amount of Lockups?

[qqwref]

All cubes will lock up if you turn them inaccurately. However, type F (haven't tried F-II but it's probably the same deal) has cubies that are more curved than normal, which means it can kind of cut corners at a slight negative angle. This means that it is more resistant to inaccurate turns than other cubes, and will lock up less (assuming tightness, lubing, etc. are constant).

Yeah, I agree with qqwref my ghost hand (which is in the f family) doesn't lock up at all

EDIT: almost

Based on this survey, the Rubik's DIY could be worth a shot. Note, however that the number of ratings for each cube is relatively small.

Personally I find my type-A to be least locky. My ghost hands is a locking nightmare, but the type-F's I've had a shot of are pretty good.

If you are looking for cubes that can cut corners at a slight negative angle, the Type A V cube has rounded (chiseled?) corners and can cut at minus a few degrees. However, it still locks up a bit.

I've gotten some info.

Ive recently done this mod to my corners (rounding them) and now my cube is a dream. It doesn't really lock up unless I try to lock up.

I'm not sure if it will work on anyone elses cube, but I'm using a c4u diy with storebought cubies.

I'd go with the C or F2. but F2 is incredibly fast. C also cuts corners well imo.

the sticky is correct, at least to me, for the most part

here are the cubes that i do not think lock up: new type a ii, new type a iii, type a, f, f2, jsk clone, and edison

Agreed. I have a black and a white type A and they're my best cubes. They don't ever lock up. I have some type C and Type E cubes as well and although they're faster, they do lock up more.

My c-II never locks up
