LOL, might as well have posted the measurements in inches because your probably more used to them. Why do we measure cubes in mm?

LOL, might as well not be a dumb American.

That might be harder for him to do.

Because metric is standard and I guess .0045 m is hard to picture. It's not like it's all that hard to convert.

Still fail.

Mhm.

The edge pieces look bumpy. Won't that make the cube harder to twist?

 

[SlapShot]

Strange. When this thread was started, I was able to access the guojia3 website, but now like others I can't get in.

It looked just like the picture with all the edge pieces, but was pretty useless since it is all in chinese.

 

[DavidWoner]

That looks like v-cube mec

Not at all.

Why do you claim that something is useless when you are the one who fails to understand it? :confused:

I don't know where he got that translation from, but the website CLEARLY says China's most authoritative and professional Rubik's cube forum.

ok guy i kinda failed at the dimentions

it was supposed to be 5 mm and 4.5 mm

corrected

Wow, this is great news. I love the mini C and I love the type AII and AV with the raised tracks to reduce friction.

Just when I thought that I didn't want any more cubes. These ones come out.
50mm sounds perfect for my hands.

EDIT: It also has the slightly octagonal center pieces which helps with "reverse corner cutting", just like my Type AV. Yay!

 

[daniel0731ex]

Off-topic:

just to let you guys know, the term "AV" has another quite common meaning...

 

[Tim Major]

I want one, but I only recently ordered an a5. And will probably get V-cubes for Christmas.

Edit: and both websites work for me, but they're exactly the same.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Most weirdest mechanism I have ever seen.

 

[Zubon]

Most weirdest mechanism I have ever seen.

The mechanism is exactly the same as almost all 3x3x3 cubes. You are just looking at the ridges which are there to reduce the surface area of contact.

 

[goshypimple]

the micro A is the best mini cube i have ever tried
i got it from the hknowstore on saturday for $40 hk dollars. about USD $5
its good but it locks up and pops.
does anyone else have it?

 

[MichaelErskine]

looks...unnecessarily complicated with all those ridges and holes and stuff

and it looks like it'd lock up a lot, like that other type A with similarly shaped edges...

However, the Type-A to which you refer doesn't lock up a lot. :rolleyes:

I checked hknowstore's website and I couldn't find the micro or mini. Did you go to the actual store in hong kong to get it? I really want them.

That still seems a little off...

I think you mean 5cm and 4.5cm or 50mm and 45mm
