Is there a cube with the same fast, smooth, buttery feeling of the Weilong, but a little less blocky and with better corner cutting?

I think the YuXin 3x3 on tight tensions matches that description fairly well. It's a little more bumpy than the WeiLong but I don't find it distracting.

Maybe also the Tanglong, but it's a bit slower than the Weilong.

I feel like that is the AoLong. The Thunderclap is a bit lighter and faster though as well.

How does the cyclone boys 5x5 compares to the Yuxin 5x5?
I like the Cyclone Boys which I own not that long ago, the Yuxin wasn't available back then.

I've owned both. They're both great, but the Yuxin is a lot better, and a lot of people consider it the best 5x5 ever made. Though don't feel compelled to buy it if you are fine with your CB. Like I said, it's still a great cube, and was very briefly my main. But I ended up selling it just so I could feel justified in buying my Yuxin, lol.

I dunno. You should ask this thread, and be more specific.

tbh, the MEIYING is like a better weilong. the turning and speed is amazing, it is light, fast and smooth, clacky but still a bit buttery imo; good for roux

Should I wait and get the aolong gt or should I go for the moyu tanglong?

My only 2x2 currently is Lingpo. It´s pretty good but I have some lockups and it is little bit slow (going to buy lube when I order something from Cubicle). I´m between getting Dayan 2x2 and new tangpo. Which cube I should get and from the pics of the mechanics do you guys think that lockup problem is fixed on tangpo? NB! In have bad turning style so that might be the reason cube lockups sometimes.

I'm looking for a 3x3 that's under $10. I really liked the Aolong V2, but I need a new cube because I lost the Aolong. So, I've been think about either getting the Yuxin 3x3 or the QiYi thunderclap. I want a cube that is:

- round and bubbly, i hate the blockiness of the weilong and hualong
- not too fast, i think the hualong was too fast
- not too catchy, my hualong caught a lot
- easy to corner cut, some cubes have great corner cutting, but it takes a little too much force

what should i get? thanks

Your best bet is for the Yuxin 3x3; it does not catch, it's smooth and does not have that blocky feel. Besides, the thunderclap is way faster than the Yuxin.

 

[cubeguy2004]

i'm choosing a new 3x3 from the cubicle and i'm getting cubicle premium cube.

I'm choosing between tanglong and aolong but i can't find any good comparisons between them.
Can anybody maybe list the pros and cons of both cubes?

a lot of ppl who used the aolong v2 switched to the thunderclap because its very similar but it is a little faster

yeah the thunderclap feels like a aolong but you can make it as slow and as fast as you can.

Guys I want a cube for OH. 57 mm cubes feel really big in my hands. I'm around 1 min at OH. Should I get the Fangshi mini or the Weilong mini? Or should I get used to my 57 mm Aolong? Thanks!

The mini weilong v2 is really good.

 

[CubePro]

Thanks for the recommendation! BTW I'm around 1 min at OH so will it be ok for me?

The mini ShuangRen has smaller outer layers, but the same size slices as 57mm cubes. If you use Roux OH then I would definitely recommend the mini ShuangRen, but otherwise it's slightly harder to turn with it.

ShuangRen Mini is easier to turn but too uncontrollable, IMO. The Mini WeiLong is nice, stable and controllable for OH. I also like the Mini AoLong.
