C II cubies x C4Y hardware hybrid?

[miniGOINGS]

Finally received my CII from popbuying today. Pretty good cube out of the box, feels quite similar to the mini-C. The only problem was that it felt too stiff/tight and reducing the tension just made it really poppy.

To loosen it up I swapped to C4U springs, and also used the better quality C4U screws/core. It wasn't possible to use the original washers, so I used the narrow type-A washers for the inner end, and the wider type-A washers for the outer end. Both fit perfectly.

The results are amazing! Very similar to the FII, but feels a little heavier and seems to have slightly harder plastic. Only criticism is the noise, but I guess that's just type-C's for you. For now this is without a doubt my favourite cube, closely followed by my FII

Sounds just like my C/4U. I absolutely love it, CII would probably be better though.

Yup, the CI with C4U springs was my main cube before the FII, but I find the more rounded corners on the CII make this hybrid better than my original CI hybrid. It cuts corners pretty well in both directions and is much less lockey.

I like having a C/4U and an FII, because I can never get tired of both of them. I can choose which cube to use depending on how I feel. Also, I don't think I'll ever lube it, at least not for now.
