Cyclone Boys G4.
I have the Yusu R (wich is suposed to be an improved Guansu) and it's very locky. Also the size of the G4 (60 mmm) is an advantage unless your hands are very big. I don't like 62 mm 4x4's.
The Wushuang is the smaller one. It's super stable and very controllable. I would say that it has that "tactile" feel you talked about. I don't lube mine and its speed is ok.
But if you love your Yuxin blue and its speed, you will probably love the Yuxin 5x5 also, althrough I don't have that one...
I hated my Yuxin blue because the outer layers felt kind of loose and uncontrollable after putting thunderclap springs. I magnetized it with 4x2 N35 and now it's fast but controllable and stable. Additionally, now the layers doesn't missalign when I do Uu moves, wich is a problem of the stock...
That happens with all the modern 4x4s. Try to rotate the center piece by 90º, you will have to unscrew in order to do that. I don't know exactly the orientation of those center pieces in relation with each other, but with some trial and error you will solve the problem.
If you want a stable and not too fast pyraminx, the Qiyi one is the way to go. Either the first one or the magnetic one (x-man bell) are great. The moyu one is too fast and flexible.
For a 4x4, the cyclone boys G4 is a very solid and stable cube, and it's very cheap.
I have a problem with my Yuxin blue.
With the stock springs it's slow, and it feels tight. I love its feel though.
With thunderclap springs it feels too loose (even on tight tensions), and I have the feeling it's going to break because the pieces aren't well put together. I get better times, but...
It's a fun puzzle, much different from a rubiks cube.
Everyone seems to like the magnetic moyu skewb, but I have the feeling that it's too fast and uncontrolable for actual solving. I have the original moyu and the qiyi (not the new cheap one), and the qiyi is much nicer in my opinion. The moyu...
I bought them from speedcubeshop because even though I'm not from America, they ship springs to Europe by airmail, and it cost me around ~$3 included shipping. It was the cheaper option I found.
I only have the Yuxin. so I'll give you my opinion on it:
The size is perfect. If you prefer mini 4x4, or if you have the wushuang and prefer its size over other 5x5, you will feel the difference in size even more with the 6x6. So this could be the most important reason to get the Yuxin one...
I solve like a pyraminx, but taking care of the centers while puting the last 3 edges. You must have all the centers placed or none in order to avoid parity. I solve the pyraminx layer by layer, so it's easy to me, if I have 3 centers misplaced I turn the last layer and then I can solve the...
I'm waiting for the Qiyi 7x7 too. It will be my first 7x7 unless it's far more expensive than the Yuxin one, in wich case I will probably get the Yuxin.
I'm hoping Shenshou to make a 4x4 mirror cube. I was waiting for a Master kilominx (a good turning one) and Master pyraminx (a flat one) and...
Why the weilong (gts) 2x2 comes in stickerless but the 3x3 don't, and the guoguan 2x2 doesn't come in stickerless but the 3x3 does? It's very hard to understand and for people who collect whole series of cubes (in stickerless version) this is very annoying.
It will have 1508 pieces and 1812 stickers... the upcoming Moyu 15x15 will have "only" 1178 pieces and 1350 stickers... who's gonna solve that thing?, it would take forever and it will be kind of boring.
Have you tried the Cyclone Boys Cloud? (Also called 'jisuzhiyun', the one with the same stickerless shades of the G4 and G5). Its 57mm and very cheap (around $5-$6 in chinese stores) and for me is as good as the Aolong, but with a different feel. It's a bit blocky, but superfast and very...
I love the Wushuang, so I'll probably get the 7x7 (I don't have any). What size is it? It seems 69mm, like the other new 7x7s.
I don't like the 4x4 because I'm used to the 60mm size (G4 and Yuxin Blue), and I'm very disapointed with the 6x6 because its too big compared to the Yuxin Red.
I...
