Cheapest Decent Cube for Beginners

[koreancuber]

C4Y brand is really good for beginners. You can get it assembled & pre-lubed & they work great.

I agree with the C4Y brand being good, but I don't think it is a good cube for beginners. First, it's sort of expense (compared to the Ghosthand, mini diansheng, mini type c), and it would take a lot of time to assemble and lube altogether. But that's just my opinion.

They come preassebled & lubed.

Sorry. I thought you were talking about the DIY's there. Aren't the C4Y speedcubes JSK clones?

Nooooopers.

But when you combine the C4y with the JSK clone, you get a reallyyy nice cube.
Me and mister Sn3kypanda both used it at one point.

Oh, ok, but where can you get a JSK clone?

I've gotten 2 of them from C4Y.

(I have many many cubes...)


Cube4you sells JSK clones, but the general consensus of the C4Y cube is the one with edge caps, and tabs on the center caps.

I've gotten countless C4Y cube cores and screw/spring sets, and 3 C4Y cubes in black, white, and red.

What this then?

Look at this.

Ok, now I'm confused. I saw a post that said the C4Y cubes in boxes were JSK clones. I assume it's true because I can find the JSK clone.

 

[4Chan]

Just believe my previous statement.

The JSK clone is NOT the same as what most people call the C4Y cubes.

 

[koreancuber]

Ok, sorry for being a noob, and thanks for the info.

A JSK clone doesn't have C4Y in the name. In the old store it was called New 3x3 speedcube.

i think c4Y cubes are good beginner cubes, maybe you could give them to people sub 1 minute? its a pretty good cube, but mine locks up on me. so maybe get a few and give them to those who look dedicated enough to be Sub1 or those who already sub1. they are quite expensive though.

i must agree with daniel on the dollar store cubes. they are horrible, the colour scheme is messed, and it'll give you some weird wrist disease or something. sometimes, you can do R but not R'.

You should use all blacks.

What's the difference between these cubes?

This is the mini Type C yes?

Last time we bought these cubes (above), which I believe are regular type C-i, and the center caps essentially would fly off on thier own will.

If the first link is not mini Type-c, please provide me with the correct and cheapest popbuying link for them. Do they have the centerpop problem?

 

[hyunchoi98]

get type fs and glue on the caps.

Yeppers, the second link is indeed the mini C.

The mini C caps are different from the C-I.
They're very nice,and more resemble the C-II caps instead of the C-I.

Wait, isn't the first link the mini-C, that's the crux of my question.

What is the difference between a mini-C and a "frosted" C and a regular C?

:fp

 

[4Chan]

Am sorry, but I have no idea what "frosted" is.
It looks more like a C-II from the outside...

 

[andyt1992]

Why not charge them for the cubes so it doesn't end up costing you a ton?

 

[JeffDelucia]

You wouldnt want a beginner to learn on a mini cube because then a regular cube would feel awkward. Just get the ghosthands.

frosted is referring to the stickers, i think.... but if you look at the size of the frosted one, its 57mm while the first link is 50mm
