Looking for a quiet and smooth cube

[Pyjam]

I there,

I own a cube called «*Old Guojia*», so I suppose it’s a type A I. I really like the feel of this cube (like soap or butter), but I have a big problem with it : it’s white. I don’t know why but I can’t recognize colors quickly on a white cube, maybe an affair of contrast, I don’t know.

I would like to buy something similar. That is: quiet, very smooth, great at corners cutting, lighter than the type A, not necessarily very fast, … and black.

Thanks for you help.

Unless you just want to get the cube you already have in black, then a Black F-II is probably what you want. You might also want to try the Guhong.

I find The GhostHand II would work well for you. SUPER smooth, great corner cuts, and is quite light.

Black F-II would seem to be the way to go, however Ghosthand I and II are both quite good.
The F-II is smoother, but ghosthand is more quiet (If tensioned and lubricated properly).

 

[Fire Cuber]

GhostHand II or I, quiet and smooth. Not that fast
get it from cubes depot GhostHand II, Ghosthand II

Or if you want an old type A in black, buy here

F2 is louder and less smooth then guhong in my opinion.

 

[cuberkid10]

Ghosthand's are pretty fast if you lube it with shock oil.

Oh dang my friend (non-cuber) has that cube. I would recommend the GH1.

I hate my Ghosthand. It locks up so much and can't really cut at all. You should go with the F-II. You won't have any regrets.

Get a Ghost Hand II or a F-II.

This. The guhong is much smoother and quieter than the F2; the F2 is, however, a bit faster.

Go with the guhong. If you order the one off of lubix.com you can get it prelubed, and it is amazing. Very smooth and amazing corner cutting. I love mine.

Smothness:

F-II

Godly corner cutting:

GuHong

Quietness:

GhostHand II (not sure aabout the 2003A though)


however if i were you. i would buy the F-II... but if you do not mind the quietness. buy GuHong (with lubix of course)

I'd say the best balance between a quality cube and quietness is definitely the Guhong.

Lube whatever you have with white lithium. Just get rid of the dust or excess dried silicone inside or any other grease inside first.

 

[Godmil]

My Guhong is even quieter than my F2.

Thank you everybody for your answers.

I already own a Lubixed Guhong. It’s a great cube, fast and smooth, a little too fast for me (I’m a newbie), but the Guojia is even smoother and quieter. My Guojia is well lubed. When I use it, it’s like speedcubing on ice. I really like this feel. I use the Guhong for the speed, but I like to switch to the Guojia for learning new algorithms or for training my look ahead.

I ordered a F-II a couple of weeks ago. It’s straying somewhere between China and France. I am impatient to receive it. If I’m not completely satisfied with it, I’ll also consider buying a GhostHand.

Why? The white lithium will color my cube in black?

Thank you for having made the effort to answer.
