Guhong comparison (Black Vs White) + Corner gapping fix

[daniel0731ex]

Lid got there before me, why didnt you take the DIY into consideration?

If you actually looked at the Dayan page you'll notice that it's not on there. See the categories at the top, they're not on the same page. The black one is in the "product requested arrivals" page, which is sort of like "on sale", except it's for new arrivals. That's the only reason to the price difference

As for the difference in performance, there are two reasons:
1. the different dye caused differences in the properties of the mater
2. molding inconsistency

I'd say taht #2 is more likely, because if you actually payed attention, the edge and cuts on the Guhong are very delicate profiles, because the interior radius is reduced dramatically. This meas that a very slight variation/difference in the molded pieces could create very significant changes to the feel of the cube.

So then the black one isnt a guhong since it wasnt on the Dayan page? man, it sure looks like one .__.

the result may of course be a subject of consistency though, but I though I could put the review here still.

If you actually payed attention, you would'nt have missed that line

You should really learn to read. I never said that it's not a Guhong, but rather that the black DIY Guhong is at a discount.

Gee these people should stop taking words out of context.

i just noticed in the pic, the screws are black

did anyone receive these screws instead of the silver ones?

I got my DIY from Lightake last week - silver screws.

NOU, you fail.

Black - $12.79
White - $12.79

Black POM - $14.49
White POM - $14.49

Where's your difference? I don't see it.

you say it is still a guhong, but why didnt you bring it up here? It may be on sale, but it is still a guhong, no reason to not put it in consideration IMO


to timeless: that pic is probably outdated, I got silver screws and new core

 

[Deleted member 12389]

...I got silver screws and new core

God, I am outdated - there is a new core?

I got the pre-assembled one from dealextreme and a DIY one from Lightake - both cores looked the same...

 

[Olji]

the old core was transparent, but the new is white

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Couldn't the black one just be cheaper because it's more popular?

 

[Olji]

maybe, maybe not, and maybe we'll never know *dramatic music* o-o

maybe, maybe not, and maybe we'll never know *dramatic music* o-o

is the core size between the 2 same?

 

[Olji]

the arm thickness on the old core is slighly more than 8mm, and the new core is about 7,5mm, so there is a small difference in size

You are not even making any sense here. You don't take the price into consideration BECAUSE it is still a GuHong; the price difference is merely a marketing scheme from either the seller or the manufacturer themselves.

Stop failing, would you?

you asked where the price difference were, you got that answered, as you stated, it is obviously a marketing scheme (dont know why though, from what I remember that product has been there for a while) but you got your question answered, you got the difference you asked for, apparently some people didnt know of that, so thats a good thing they found out of the cheaper alternative, isnt it?

apparently you're better at english than me, thanks for correcting that and teaching me a new word
