I'm confused about the YJ brand.

[YuTubeCuber]

So I've been hearing that YJ is like a V-Cube knockoff brand. Is this true? Like on popbuying, I saw a Yj 3x3, so that would be a V-Cube 3 Knockoff?

But to answer, I think so.

Yes. No.

YJ has produced lots and lots of various cubes. Their designs for a 4x4, a 5x5, and their 6,7,9,11 are ALL v-cube knockoffs, although they have produced other things.

They also have sucky ES clones.

I saw someone's YJ 4x4x4.
It looked sucky, but better than my overmodded one.

I've had a bit of a dilemma as well with KO's, especially the YJ 4x4. I realize that many of you frown upon purchasing a KO, but in all honesty, I have a competition coming up soon, and I want the best cube I can get for the competition, and it doesn't seem like v-cube will be releasing a 4x4 any time soon. Any way, if I think a KO cube is good, should I just keep my mouth shut and not promote it, or, should I let the people who ask know that it's a good cube?

If you REALLY need to bu KO's
Keep it to a minimum, or don't buy any at all.

I had a YJ 4x4x4 a while back and it quite literally fell to pieces in my hands randomly during a solve. I wasn't very fast back then (I'm still not ), so it's not like I was going too fast, it just... crumbled to pieces. Putting them back in didn't help either, it was REALLY loose after that and I couldn't solve it without breaking it. Either I didn't assemble the cube right after the pieces came out or it was just a sucky cube.

There's another YJ 4x4 out now that uses the V-Cube 4 mechanism.

Aha, well that would explain it. Nevermind then.
