Comparison: Rubik's 4x4, V4, or Eastsheen 4x4?

[Winston]

I personally feel that Eastsheen 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 cubes are WAY better than their Rubik's counterparts as they rarely or never pop, size fits my hand better, and well, just feel so much nicer than any Rubik's. Handle it with care and it'll be fine.

I agree!

Except for the feel of the cubes.

Although I feel that Eastsheens are better overall, I just can't help but try my Rubik's 5x5 everytime I play with my Eastsheen. Rubik's is harder to turn, easily misaligns, but feels better in my hands somehow?

At times, I can't decide which I want to play with!

But I've decided. Eastsheen owns overall.

PS. Don't forget the 2x2.

What's an Edison 4x4?

You know Edison 3x3 cubes? (Can only get in Korea).
Well there are Edison 4x4 cubes too.

Yeah, but what's special about it? Any structural differences compared to ES or Rubiks?

mainly a rubik's type structure. I like Rubik's because of corner cutting and the edison is smoother and more able to cut corners better than Rubik's.

but the main reason towards my favor for the edison cube is it comes in white. ITS LIKE A WHITE RUBIKS 4x4. Two of my favored cube qualities.

I'm also in favor of the old 4x4 core. The retooled one locks too much for me.

as far as I know, you can't put new type cubies on the old core. the center pieces' feet doesn't fit in the core. but it works the other way; when an old type 4x4 gets too loose and starts locking up, put its pieces on a new type core, and it works great (at least it works great for me)

I want a V4!

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

everyone says eastsheen is better than rubik's [professors], because no one takes the time to break a rubik's 5x5x5 into it's prime, my rubik's is amazing :]

on topic: eastsheen 4x4x4s :]

 

[Unknown.soul]

I got an ES 5x5 because I can't seem to find any Rubik's 5x5's in my area

If I can find a Studio 4x4, then Rubik's, but for now, Eastsheen because it doesn't pop.

 

[Fractangle]

I like the Rubik's 4x4s; mine's very loose, few pops, turns well.

Also good for modding, such as 2x2x6 and rounded 2x2x2 with leftover pieces from 2x2x6 and some PVC pipe, currently finishing the second one.

 

[DcF1337]

IMHO, Eastsheen simply owns Rubik's, except they don't last as long maybe.

If only Eastsheen made 3x3s... Hmm...

 

[AvGalen]

I guess this is about the 4x4x4 = 64th time this topic comes up and everytime the conclusion is the same:

Eastsheen rocks, but so does Rubiks
Eastsheens suck and so do Rubiks

It all depends on YOUR cube and YOUR preference.

1. Edison 4x4s have a structurally WEAKER mechanism than EITHER Rubik's or Eastsheen. Good for a collection, not so good for long-term cubing.

Eastsheen 3x3's would probably lock up like a storebought cube.

 

[StachuK1992]

after 2 weeks of having my v5, I have to say that it is now my favorite cube

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Eastsheen 4x4 is the best for now, but since it looks like the smaller the cube they (Verdes) make, the smoother and easier to handle it is, so v4 should be amazing! (I have high expectations for it at least, I dunno about everyone else.)
