Best 2x2 speedcube?

[123321]

There have been some relatively new cubes on the market like the wit two (type c), edison (havent heard anything about this one), and the v cube 2a. I already have a lanlan 2x2 but i am starting to speedcube 2x2 also. Is the lanlan still the best speedcube or have any of the newer cubes taken its place?

Also, what method should I learn? I have just finished memorizing Ortega algs but I am around 8-10 seconds cuz im just starting 2x2.

Wittwo is better than a Lanlan. Ortega can average 3 seconds so whatever you prefer to use.

Mostly everyone favors the Type C. However, I'm still a fan of my original lanlan. It feels like I can turn w/o locking up as much.

If you just finished memorizing ortega algs, then use ortega. No need to switch already. Once you get down to like 5, switch to CLL.

Since you are still sort of a beginner, a lanlan should do, but at some point I do recommend investing in a wit two.

And ortega is fine. I average sub-6 on it after 4 months of practice, and I still definitely have room to improve. The three most important aspects are: efficient first side, good recognition of cases, and learning to have to perform the algorithms quickly.

I did get a wittwo, but it seems a bit too... clicky/slow.
I lubed it with crc (that's the only lube i have) and it seems similar.
If i loosen the tensions, the internal pieces keep trying to pop.
But at a competition, i've seen people's wittwos to be pretty smooth.

Is there a mod i'm not doing? or did they just break it in alot?

Where did you lube it? that could possibly affect it. I have my witwo lubed with lubix, and it works very well - even on the very loose tensions I have it on. And I have only had it pop on me once (out of hundreds of solves)

WitTwo + Jig-a-loo + good tensioning = amazing.

My lanlan is pretty good too. I prefer type c though.

I just tried to cut corners a bit much and sprayed it in the crack. I put the straw INSIDE the cube where the core is, not on the outside pieces.

Wittwo to the MAX. Cuts far well, amazing speed, quite smooth, high price.

step 1. get a wit two
step 2. bathe it in maru lube
step 3. satisfaction

My Wit 2 is bumpy. Not sure what's going on in there. I have a second one on the way. Maybe it will be better.

My lan lan's core stripped the first time I tried to adjust the tension. It was a bit gummy.
I liked the Sheng Shou a little better.

The WitTwo is just amazing.

Ways better than my LanLan.
