are there any water proof cubes so u can solve while taking a shower, underwater solves, swimming, etc?

 

[Cube321]

not sure^^^





How about, If I was to get a linghui or a guhong. I'd get one or the other.

Is the linghui just hype? or should i get it instead of guhong.

And, any problems with ghosthand 5x5?

It's "LunHui". You should get one. I bought from Icubemart.

Well! A Stickerless GuHong should be "water proof" until the screws rust or something (if they aren't rustfree, I don't know), Gan's Cube should be too, and any stickerless cube really

What 4x4 and 5x5 cubes would you recommend? Color and price don't matter.

X-cube but it's like 41$ diy.
V-cube if you are willing to break in. If not i think Yj Or Ghosthand.

Is anything wrong with this 4x4 ShengShou? http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.4x4x4_ShengShou_Spring_Magic_Cube_Black-33526

What do you guys recommend. I was thinking of getting it, but the very low price makes me suspicious that it may be bad quality. It has a lot of thumbs ups, if that means anything :L

 

[Keban]

It's ok after a lot of breaking in but it still locks up quite a bit. It's ok thought since i suck at 4x4

A stickered cube would be just as waterproof as a stickerless (as long as the stickers aren't the paper-like ones). The adhesive isn't water soluble. You also shouldn't really have to worry about the screws rusting if they are lubed. Silicone is water resistant as far as I know. So, pretty much any cube would be "waterproof".

I'm going to order a 2x2, and I want a good one for speedcubing, but not to expensive. Should I get the YJ or Diansheng? Or is it worth a lot to add 1$ and get the Ghost Hand or LanLan? Just want a fast 2x2 that doesn't pop a lot. And with decent corner cutting, but most importantly, it should be worth the money, so I think one of those four.

Most people go for LanLan's, they really aren't very expensive and are good quality out of the box.

 

[hoopee]

Yeah, I really liked my Lanlan and it wasn't expensive. I haven't even lubed it, feels like it doesn't need it. Only annoying thing is that it pops sometimes. Well, you can adjust the tension of course.

What kind of feel are you looking for... (just saying for the benefit of others (i don't do pyraminxs)) or do you just want the cheapest

For an extra dollar, quality is worth it. For example, Pepsi is twenty more cents expensive than my local generic cola. That said, I opt for the Pepsi. Twenty cents for better quality , joy, and satisfaction is worth it.

I'm completely new to these pyraminxs, I don't care about the price, I just want the best one
