New V-cube

A lot of cubes suck out of the box. v-5-7 are no exception. What drives me crazy about v-cube is that they don't use screws. That is insane.
A v-5 will get a tiny bit looser with every solve. Eventually it will hit a sweet spot, the problem is that it keeps loosening right out of the sweet spot.
 
Why do you guys want another 4x4? There are so many good ones out there with the best of them being the Shenshou V3 and the mini Dayan+Mf8. The V-cube 4x4 is a lot like the YJ or maru(from the designs I saw a while ago) and I will laugh if they keep it like the for the release and people will be very disappointed by it.

What about price? V-cubes are very expensive when they first come out and don't drop a whole lot in price. Would you still buy it even if it was $30? You also need to think about how expensive there shipping is. I ordered both 2x2's and my friend ordered on also, the shipping was $29 for three small items.

I am betting everyone who wants V-cube to make a 4x4 does not solve there 7x7 at all.

I think it would be cool for V-cube to make an 8x8 because it has not been done. I feel as if they would make more money off of it because that would be what every cuber would want to get and would give some competition to Shenshou.

I don't think it makes a lot of financial sense. an 8x8 will cost a fortune, and will have very limited popularity. Interest in cubes seems to drop off the further from 3 you go, also it's not an official event which will also put off lots of people.
I know they're (seemingly) not doing the 6x6 update, but I think that would be the best money maker for them, given it's an official event that has arguably very little competition.
 
But people shouldn't want to buy yet again another 4x4.

Here is a list of all the recent 4x4's:

YJ
Maru
X-cube
Shenshou V1
Dayan+Mf8
Shenshou V2
Mini Dayan+mf8
Shenshou V3

People shouldn't want to buy another.

If you were able to make your mini Dayan +Mf8 good, I'd be extremely enthusiastic about hearing what you did to it. Mine is unusable. The outer layers are too tight. It's caused by the springs in the center pieces, not a lot can be done. If you take them out it's too loose, if you trim them they are too hard to re-install.

He doesn't have one, and hasn't even tried one. I don't know what he's basing that off of.
 
I'm praying for an 8x8. Would prefer to buy the original, but will settle for knockoff if I have to. I know this sounds harsh, but I'm 44 people. I ain't getting any younger.
 
Someone should make a poll about this; I'm sure it's a lot more meaningful than the ones voting what the best 1x1 cube is.

More like a simile, actually.


In regards to the 4x4 debate, I think it's quite a shame that the X-cube is mediocre;
it has the perfect solution to the misallignment problem, yet the lack of molding precision really hurt the performance.
All the other 4x4 have really nice turning (Maru, SS, etc), but the allignment mechanisms are incompetent.

I hope XB would release a refined version of his X4, or perhaps collaborate with V-cube to develop even order cubes (maybe also higher-order cubic puzzles; the mechanism of the X7 remains a mystery still).
 
im having a feeling that this is it
