3x3x3 - 5x5x5. But I found it now. I have been meaning to report that I cannot delete messges and have posted more than one message I intended to delete after I figured out what I needed.

I've decided I'll get a shengshou v5.

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

I need a good cube. Lubix Zhanchi or Regular Zhanchi from CubeDepot. Or what other cube do you guys recommend?

Shengshou Aurora or Guhong V2

 

[Danimal]

Can somebody help me plzzz..
I am totally confused.
Which cube is better :
1. MoYu Weilong
2. Dayan Zhanchi
3. Fangshi Shuang Ren
Also I want to know which cube is more quiet than the others.
Help will be appreciated.

Those 3 are all amazing cubes. The ShuangRen V2 is the quieter of the 3 and probably the smoothest.

Ultimately it depends how you like your cube to perform. Zhanchi is heavier than the other 2, and the louder of the 3. This is not saying it is worse, as the light and quiet doesn't always give that clicky satisfaction you get with the Zhanchi.

I am finding myself having moved to the ShuangRen V2 from my Welling as a main. The ShuangRen V2 is the lightest and smoothest cube I own.

I would say get all 3 and enjoy them all, but if I were to choose one to recommend, currently the ShuangRen V2, original plastic.

Which is the best square-1? Wherever I look people say both MF8 and Cubetwist are good.

Bump.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Bump.

It really depends on your opinion. I'd say mf8 v1 but that's my opinion.

There's also Calvin's. It is basically a MF8 with softer plastic. But the softer plastic does make it feel better apparently.

v cube 4x4 vs ss v3 4x4

hi, any body had try v cube 4x4? how its compare with ss v3 4x4? need some review from forum

I have quite small hands, including stubby fingers, so I fancy trying out one of the smaller Dayan ZhanChis when I make my next order. I'm also testing out a FS shuangren. Does anybody have experience with the 55mm/50mm models? Is it worth trying them out? I feel like the 55mm is basically the same as the 57mm, and want to try the 50mm instead. Is the 50mm competition legal?

Or even the 42mm model?

Trust me, for normal solving you won't want smaller than 55. The 2mm makes a surprising difference. 42 is for hiding cubes in class haha

50mm is slow. 42mm is awesome. All are comp legal.

Well most of them not the stickerless ones.

Oh really! I was thinking of getting one of each anyway, but if it's that different I will just get the 55 and 50 (to see if it fits).

Do you reccomend the 42mm for solving then? What is wrong with the 50mm that the 42mm solves?

Really, 42mm is just plain too small. I would recommend it for a 2 year old.. No one else. I'd say get a 50 and a 55 if you have the money. 55 is probably good.. 50 is a stretch but I'm not sure just how small your hands are..

50mm is slow. 42mm is fast.
It's weird. I do recommend 42mm for OH with small hands.

Noway.. The 50mm is already small enough.

I don't have the SS 4x4 v3, but I have the v5. When I compare the two cubes, to me the V-Cube 4 is smoother and faster. The SS 4x4 v5 imo is a lot more bumpier.

I have to be honest, your video review makes it look truly awful.

That's cause fingertricks are hard, and because I had a glue-gunned together piece, which made it crappy on 2 sides.
