For the price, it's very good. If you can I would save up for the SS, though.

Also, you might not care about buying a KO, but they are very low quality from what I have heard. Stick with either V-cube or SS.

thanks for the reply, but i only have enough money saved for the z-cube lol but im deffinately getting a SS for christmas from my parents

 

[KoreanCuber710]

well, My friend let me use it for one solve and it felt really good out of the box. besides the guhong pops way too much for speedcubers but i heard it is the fastest. The zhanchi has the torpedos and I want one with the torpedoes.

 

[Speedcuber101]

I would like a speed cube with minimal lock-ups, is smooth and fast, and is speed cube-worthy right out of the box, that requires minimal tensioning. (If possible)

I'm currently sub-20 and I'm using an unknown brand cube. It's recently broken and i can't use it anymore, so I'm thinking about buying a new DIY cube. I have a friend that gives me discount for a Dayan ZhanChi cube. anyway, is this cube suitable for me??

Since you are sub20 I suppose that it will make you faster so I think you should get it.

Hey everyone! I need help choosing a 4x4 and 5x5 to get for Christmas. For the 5x5 it seems to be between the shengshou and the v cube. For 4x4 I know shengshou is good, what other good ones are out there? What do you guys recommend?

For 4x4, choose either...
- SSv3 (if you like to mod) or
- SSv4 (if you don't like to mod)

Hey guys I am looking for an interesting puzzle to buy, something a bit different with new and harder elements, as opposed to NxNxN and minx type things... But nothing extremely expensive. Any suggestions?

Have you looked at the Mefferts/Mf8/WitEden puzzles?

Which 4x4x4?

Hello guys. Not sure if I'm in the right section but I'd like to ask you which 4x4x4 cube would you recommend me. Till now I was just solving the 3x3 cube (lingyun III) and now I'd like to start with the 4x4 cube but really don't know which one buy. So can u reccomend a good and fast enough 4x4? Thank you

Shengsou 4x4s are good and cheap

For 4x4, choose either...
- SSv3 (if you like to mod) or
- SSv4 (if you don't like to mod)

Actually I watched some review of this cube and it seems like u need to lubricate it to get the cube good enough. The problem is that i live in poland and here there isn't any cube shop so I can get any cube lubricator

Just go to any hardware store and buy 100% silicone spray. Best lube there is.

Do you reccomend that silicone also for lubricating my lingyun III?
Btw I find out the maru 4x4 is it better than the SS?

All the pros probably use SS. It's better than Maru. Lube... you could probably order some online.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Personally I will never recommend a spray, use traxxas on the lingyun, it will last longer than the spray too
