MoYu Weilong V2 Discussion & Personal Reviews

[Youcuber2]

I've had my v2 for about a week. At first, the v2 was a little more scratchy than the v1. Now that it's been broken in, there's pretty much no difference in feel at all. I actually did a blind test with the v1 and v2 and could only tell the difference half the time. I don't think that there's enough of a difference from the 2 cubes to get a v2 if you already have a v1.

The stickered v2 is the same as a stickerless v2 right?

The only difference between the v1 and the v2 is that the v2 has better corner cutting. Some reviews said that the v2 is more controllable and almost the same speed.

I cant really feel any difference just the the V2 is loud and crunchy and the V1 is smooth and not loud.
Sticking with my V1 for timebeing

How loud and crunchy?

How loud and crunchy?

Exactly as loud and crunchy as a brand new WeiLong V1. It's the same cube with a different way of constructing the pieces!!!

I also don't know why it would feel any different in theory, but most people say the v2 is crunchier/crispier than the v1.
Although I suspect it might have to do with either breaking in or the corner assembly.

IMO purely breaking in. I have a brand new WeiLong. I may keep it that way until I can try a V2. I'm not planning on buying one. I have 3 V1s.

i got mine last week. will upload a solve video tomorrow hopefully. my V1 is kind of slow-ish and gunky whereas the V2 that i got is a lot faster and is also a bit louder and crunchier feeling. it has a nice feel but i get better times with the V1.

I think that the difference in noise and feeling likely comes down to lube/breaking in. My V2 is much smoother and quieter than my V1, whereas most people's V2s are louder and crunchier.

Finally, which one is better, v2 or v1?

The only difference between the v1 and the v2 is the corner design, which makes the v2 more of a downgrade. In my review I talk about that:

How do you know it's a downgrade? Do you have one? I like the V2 better, but the only real difference is the feeling.

Well, everything is exactly the same, so the feeling will only be different because of the lubing/breaking in etc., the only difference is that the are corners are 3 pieces now. The 2 piece design was one of the benefits mentioned in my review of the MoYu WeiLong v1.

okso the post I made a few weeks ago was kinda wrong, there is a difference in the feeling because of the corner design and a slightly harder plastic.

You might not want to tell people which cube is better unless you own both

The corner design won't make a different feeling. The corner is exactly the same, only it's put together different. I didn't know anything about harder plastic? You know, the difference in lubing etc. can really make a big difference . . .

the shape is the same but because the stalks are more flexible and have slightly sharper angles, the feeling is more crunchy.

Trust me, I actually have the cube.

Ok. Is it worth the upgrade?

 

[XTowncuber]

nope. The 54.5mm one is though, in my opinion.

Why is it better? Thanks for helping!
