MF8 square-1

1x1? sorry you'll have to make a custom one, not many stores sell those

I know this has been asked quite a few times but...
A V vs Fii (Since i dont have much cubes to compare)
Which one of those feels like/is better than a Type E / Lan lan 2x2 ? (In terms of speed)

All cubes are better than type E.

 

[no1337cube]

All cubes are better than type E.

Bias comment much ==
I realised its more about the cuber...IF you aren't giving appropriate suggestions why post.

I'd like to buy type a cube, but I don't know where to buy it. What do you think about this one? Could you recommend something better? I don't really want to spend more than 10$ with shipping.

Here are all the type A cubes on Lightake (free shipping):

not sure which type A that is (though it's not an A5 - which is the best) so I wouldn't bother. The current cubes that most people love are the Dayan Guhong, A-5 (Alpha-V), and Sheng En F2. Most people buy from Lightake.com which is really cheap and has free shipping (though it's a little slow depending on how far you are from Hong Kong (Europe can be a month)). This thread has a list of shops.

EDIT: Ninja'd

what is the best 4x4x4 after the Dayan and Maru? is it the ShengShou or YJ??

 

[theace]

I like the mini Qj. Simply because it's smaller!

This is offtopic, but I got d-39 lube in today, sprayed some inside my haiyan cube (took out an edge/2corners) and it literally feels brand new after seconds. Absolutely insane.

What's insane? o.0
Cube or lube =P

Shengshou 4x4x4 is better than maru one. And, I think that the shengshou is also better than the dayan

Wow, Lightake isn't the most obvious with it's descriptions (what on earth is a fully sealed AV? It certainly has different center pieces).
This one is the standard A5 http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.3x3x3_Type_A_Magic_Cube_V_(Black)-34120
The one you linked (the Feng) is a newer version that is lighter but also a bit flimsier. lots of people have said they've broken the center caps on it.

 

[ManSpider]

Thank you for helping me, but how about this one?
It looks good and sturdy. Btw, I like white cubes

That's the Alpha 1. It's was one of the first (if not the first) chinese DIY speedcubes available. It's not a bad cube, but the more modern cubes are generally better all round.

Is the YJ 5x5 any good? Im just wondering why its so cheap O__O

 

[theace]

I see. What aboutThis?

 

[HavoCentral]

woah, HOW MANY of those threads did you merge?

lol, I didnt know they could do that. all should bow down to the powers of the mods.

 

[Samania]

I think thats 2nd gen, but the tiled one is also 2nd gen. Its up to you on your preference. I just use a tiled megaminx because tiles last longer.
