One is regular white, other is original white. Aka milky on zcube.

If that is indeed the primary color, the original one.. get that one. It's cool looking AND fast.

guhong v2. I have one and it used to be my main until it got worn out.

I plan to buy shengshou 4x4 and 5x5. Are they still the best cubes?

yes there still the best but or the 4x4 I heard that the V-cube 4x4 is better. Also WitEden is making a 6.2 CM 4x4 that looks like it will be better then the SS 4x4.

you just said that the shengshou 4x4 is the best but the vcube 4 is better

Also WitEden is making a 6.2 CM 4x4 that looks like it will be better then the SS 4x4.

you cant tell if a cube is better than a different cube by what they look like

So I've tested a few new (to me) 3x3x3 cubes and here are my impressions:

C4+C5: Lockups, that make me crazy, faster compared to C2 (my previous main) and a bit clicky. Overall: not so bad.
Dayan LingYun V2: Very fast, cuts corners well, a few lockups. I like to Play with it but I would not prefer it as my main cube.
GuHong 2: Very fast, good to control, but sometimes lockups.
Zanchi + 48 Edge mod: Similar to GuHong 2, but a bit better, faster and better to control.
ShengShou Wind: Very good for beginners and nice to play with it since it is so silent.
ShuangRen: What the hell.. I cannot image a better cube! This cube is just perfect. It's creamy, good to move, it's like there is no resistance at all, you just move your fingers and cube does what you like. Cut's corners very well! I would recommend everyone to buy it (I have a white one).

Thank you for recommending me the ShuangRen, it's a dream for me, much better than GuHong and Zanchi!

I haven't tried either, but I've heard v1 is so much better than v2

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I've got a v1, the slices turn really nicely, but the U and D turns so to speak are meh.

I wondered what the v2 would be like and then I got the Cubetwist, so.. I didn't bother anymore lol

i've heard the cubetwist pops a lot is that true?

 

[Cuber1]

I forgot to add that i am looking for a good 3x3

 

[kalyk]

No, not at all. Once you get used to the cube, it won't pop. I average 20 seconds at square-1, and after having tried all the different brands (GuoJia, MF8 v1 & v2, Calvin's), the CubeTwist is the best IMO. The Calvin's is the worst (overshoot, and is basically a MF8 v1).
You can't go wrong with it.
