They look like more than enough for your target giftees judging from the video on that page.

This seems perfect, thanks! I might get that since you suggested it.

Do any of these look legit enough? http://wallbuys.com/category/Magic-Cube-115

 

[yohanestheda]

mm..i think you should get that shengshou

 

[Kattenvriendin]

For that price, get the shengshous, my vote as well.

Great beginner cubes.

Is there a speedcube that feels like a Rubk's storebought? I recently picked one up and I really liked the feel of it. Is there a pretty fast speedcube that feels similar to a Rubik's?

[Advice] Which cube to buy?

Hey people! I hope you're having a great day!
I want to know the advice of you people, pro cubers
Which cube should I get for efficient speedcubing?
I made some research and I've found that Alpha V Type A might be cool.
If you guys suggest me Alpha V,
I would like to know if I should buy it Assembled and stickered
(from : http://speedcubeshop.com/3x3x3-Alpha-V-Speedcube)
or I should buy it non-assembled and non-stickered
(from : http://cube4you.com/alphavtype-a-3x3x3-cube-diykit-black-p-312.html?cPath=7_9)
Thanks guys!

You should go with a Dayan cube.

 

[emolover]

Yaaaa... Alpha cubes suck now. Get a Dayan Linyun V2.

 

[ducttapecuber]

Which brand of floppy cube is decent? Not that it really is a serious puzzle anyway.
Also I was looking at pyraminxes, so shengshou is the most recommended right?

You should go with a Dayan cube.

Could you give me a link to where I could buy it?

Whether you want assembled or DIY kit depends on what you want to do when you get it. Assembled just means it's ready to play with right away. Except if you want to lube the core, you'll have to take it apart. Me... I like to lube the core and tension it how I like it so I prefer DIY. It feels more constructive than having to take apart an assembled cube and then reassemble it. But personal preference.

I'm really in a dilema... I really don't know which cube to buy. I have decided to turn to the Dayan's cube.
I want to know which one is the best?
- Dayan Lingyun v2
or
- Dayan 5 ZhanChi

If you want a dayan cube I highly recommend the GuHong v2. It really is personal preference though.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

And I recommend the zhanchi, the guhong has a much different feel and the zhanchi is extremely smooth. Better when new than my guhong was.

 

[o2gulo]

For me I prefer GuHong, well, it's really personal preference, GuHong has a mixture of clickiness and smooth (not so sure), and Zhanchi , it is extremeeeely smooth.

 

[balloon6610]

For me it is totally difference. I zhanchi is crazy clicking but guhong is smooth instead

 

[Kattenvriendin]

There is only one solution for this person. Get both!

ROFL!!

Quick Question - Are the Guhong V2's still shipping with purple sitckers?

Quick Question - Are the Guhong V2's still shipping with purple sitckers?

No I have ordered several Guhong v2s recently and none have come with purple stickers

 

[god of rubic 2]

Alright, about a week ago, a friend of mine popped my Lubix Zhanchi and a piece got washed away down the drain, I've been using a Guhong V2 ever since but I don't particularly like it.

I own another Zhanchi, some other Guhongs, ling yun, lun hui and others.

I want a cube that doesn't have a blocky feel and have minimum lockups and pops.

I like a crispy and very light cube. Also it has to be fast.

Would anyone recommend me anything?

I am prepared to mod, switch hardware and things of that sort.

Also, if people have experienced a very good cube that they have bought online, please include a link of where you got it from.

Thanks a lot.
