Is this a Meffert's 5x5 if yes should i get it??

[rowlm]

i am wanting to buy a 5x5 cube for a while now, i started off wanting a v-cube but i now think they are way to much £££. I havent seen a single good review for the eastsheen

but then i found this....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Puzzle-Toy-Ru..._Rubiks_RL&hash=item3a5e7df433#ht_1873wt_1139


which is nice and cheap and i think it looks like a meffert's but ime not sure. i am also not sure how good meffert's 5x5's are? so.... any advice on either what this is or which one i should get

that would be a QJ 5x5. essentially the same as the mefferts.

Wow, those tiles are so damn thick.

 

[rowlm]

so if you say it is a QJ are they a good type of 5x5

QJ's are very nice, just add some CRC or Maru Lube, and they loosen up and become great!

the qj 5x5 is HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY!!! its my heaviest cube by far. the tiles are thick and kind of in the way.

I'd suggest forking up the money for the v-cube.

Eastssheen 5x5 is pretty nice so don't rule that out.

Nice but inferior.

mefferts 5x5

i dont own a mefferts 5x5 but i played with one and it is almost as good as v-cube. It is heavier than rubiks though so only one disadvantage.
I cant tell if its a mefferts or not but you can buy from other websites if you want.

YJ is great but it's a KO so we can't discuss it.

 

[James Ludlow]

If you cant afford a v cube, I'd go with a Ghosthand or YJ adjustable.

The one you showed is most likely a QJ, essentially a mefferts I believe.

ES 5x5 are awful.

I've felt really good mefferts and really bad V cubes before.

i love my ghost hand 1 3x3. I did'nt have a clue that they made 5x5's ???? so how good are they???? and are they better or worse than the QJ???

Ghost Hand 5x5

Although both white and vlack (joke) are out of stock right now, they're only $12. I've tried one, and imo it's way better than a v-cube. Apparently, though, it pops and locks up a fair bit. Still, a very good cube. :tu
