D-II review?
Click to expand...

D-II is a great cube. it cuts corners snappy and springy like a C4Y brand and I would say it's faster. it has interesting textured stickers. bottom line, if you like cube for you cubes but wished they locked up less you will love the DII.

the type D hardware is great tight threads for micro adjustments like the C4Y and similar springs, but they are conical and I think this helps them deliver more even tension.

I personally prefer a CII cubies with C4Y core/hardware. it's super smooth, but if you like springy corner cutting the DII is dope straight out of the box. Since I find it similar to a C4Y but also low lock ups and it's prelubed, assembled, and stickered I would say it's the ideal beginners cube.
 
DII with Type A Core is incredible! FII is very fast. CII is the best of those =)
Mini C is also very nice, but to small in my opinion for speedcubing.

do you JUST use the A core or core and hardware with the DII? I'll try your hybrid out and give a review if you do the same for mine.
 
A core and centers to be exactly (with springs etc.). I just use the DII edges and corners. It's so freaking fast!!
 
I tried it out and really like it. it feels a lot liek the hybrid I like (CII and C4Y hardware) but it feels heavier and kind of sturdier. I will try it later on witha A core and hardware with the original D centers. I would say that your hybrid feels liek a really good A cube with rounded corners that prevent lock ups where the original has the springy corner cutting of a Cube For You.
 
Just got my cubes today. CII is to kobe as kobe is to ballin, and the DII is quieter than a dead mouse. Both turn VERY well.
 
I just got my order:
QJ 3x3 x 2
C-II x 2
D-II x 1
F-II x 1 (Sweet cube)
50mm Type C x 1
Type A Third Model (F-III) x 1
Cube4You Speed Cube (NIB) x 1

I am really loving the Type F-II, it is SO much better than the original F.

I can talk more about them on the next episode of Cubing Weekly.
 
i just ordered an F-II, C-II, cubeforyou glow blue, and extra cubeforyou cores and screws to put into the C-II as I read from HowSuneisNow that it's a great combo. Review may come?

What attributes are you looking for? what kind of cubes have you used in the past? there is no best cube, but If you give us some idea of where you're coming from we can make some suggestions. how much money ar4 you willing to spend? if you only want one you might want to use deal perfect or deal extreme because shipping is free. If you're ordering a bunch of stuff you can make a big order from C4Y and get FAST shipping.
 
Just got them all today. Here's a brief text review:

Type A Third Model: Came without screws, springs, or washers for either one, but I know that they're awesome because I've used them before. The cut corners amazingly, are very fast, but lock up a little at first.

Type C II: Came tight, no pops yet, a little rough (like C I), feels heavier than C I, but I think they're about the same weight, doesn't cut corners well out of the box, no lockups yet, not quite as fast as the C I, I think it has potential.

Type D II: Good cube. Cuts corners like a beast, even on the tight tension that it came in, stickers are like cubesmith smooth tiles, only comes in white, nice and fast, no lockups yet, no pops yet, pretty light, feels insanely stable, gets way better after 5-10 solves.

Type F II: I'd describe it as a TPS cube. Ridiculously fast (coming from someone who uses Type Cs, at that), but very light. No pops or lockups yet, the outer caps do tend to pop off regularly, corner cutting isn't quite as good as the first Type F. Overall, it's amazing, my only complaint is that it's light enough to feel like it's made out of styrofoam.

Mini QJ: Not great, at least, not yet. Difficult to turn, no corner-cutting, locks up, bad stickers. Reminds me of a mini storebought. We'll see how it turns out.

Mini C: Fast, yadda yadda, it's a Type C. Basically a small Type C II.

Please let me know if anyone wants a video review.
 
zane I got both and both are among my favorite cubes. the F II is lighter the CII is heavier. I found ways to make my CII faster than my FII but I doubt you would be disappointed with either.

JTW I saw an Italian ebay seller selling a mini CII that is difefrent than the mini C. did your mini C have rounded corners like the CII?
