Compilation of the Most Popular/Best Cubes Available

Square-1
MF8-V1 - until now this is my favourite. Smooth movement but can be wore out after long use (1 year ++ for me). After wore out, I just change the center and the other piece still the same.

MF8-V2 - ball core, more cut corner but for me it's not as smooth as V1 that make me slow. If I loose it, it will be smooth but will pop easily, but if tighten it will hard for me to get fast with this cube.

magics are the same. I've tried a ghost hand and a lingao. Restringing magics tend to make them better in my opinion.

I think your 2x2x2 ranking is way off. SS > WitTwo > LL > Vcube > ES

My QJ megaminx sucks it is stiff those lubing helps there is the lot of air more than a 3x3 by equlatent and pops quite a bit

Lolol.

The ShengShou is good. But not the best. I own all those cubes, and the WitTwo is the best one. Not necessarily the one I like to use, but the best.
It should be more like this:

WitTwo > LL > VCube > SS > ES

Do you have the V2 or the V1? I heard the first version wasn't the best, so that might be why.

You might want to update the Where To Buy Cubes link, since it has changed.

 

[Kirjava]

the WitTwo is the best one

Does anyone still know where to get the Meffert's Megaminx? Just the improved version is available at meffert's but most people prefer the old version.

Really? I thought most people liked the improved version. anyway, if you want the old version, I imagine most of the US stores that stocked the old megaminxes might still have a few in stock (since the new version only came out recently).

asportking, are you updating this thread? You haven't updated it for the last couple of weeks, and I really liked this thread. Also, mention Lubix's pre-modded cubes; judging by their 2x2, they're amazing.

Thanks! Honestly, I had forgotten about this thread for while, but now that I remember, I think I'll add a few more things. I'll mention Lubix cubes, although it's quite easy just to mod and lube it yourself.

I had asked this before, but I'd like broader opinion: What are the best pyraminxes?

 

[cubernya]

Mefferts are the best (IMO), but QJs are the best for the price

QJ and Mefferts are considered to be the best; although Yohei Oka uses an Edison. Here's a post from Odder that may help: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...aminx-are-best&p=354265&viewfull=1#post354265

 

[asportking]

Added a pyraminx section. I think Odder explained it better than I could ever hope for, so I just quoted his post for that section.

This thread should maybe be moved to the reviews section. Just saying.

It is used for recommendation to what to buy. Although there are many reviews for reference, it is talking about which to buy and hardware etc..
