Moyu Weilong mini (54.5.mm) or
Moyu aolong mini (54.5)

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

IMO, the mini aolong is a bit to unstable, so I would go with mini Weilong. 55mm zhanchi is also good

I use the 54.6mm Fangshi ShuangRen because it's the smallest speedcube I have.

I used the mini AoLong for a long long time. The problem is that is a V1 still and you may get a fair amount of corner twists. I have a WeiLong that I like but it is a bit more catchy/blocky but not much. I would say both of those are better than my mini Zhanchi, and my mini Shuangren although the Shuangren is MUCH faster.

Of the four i would get the mini AoLong.

I try using the 42mm Zhanchi...

just practise 3x3.

I use a Mini Aolong personally. Since it's a bit more unstable than other mini puzzles, just tightening the tensions a bit made it much more controlable but still definitely speedcubeable.

Both, and then the Mega and all the cubes up to 7x7 if you don't already have them.

But more seriously. Get the one you like the most.

I have both, and don't use any of them much because:
a) they are too easy to solve so, as an entertainment they are plain boring
b) I hate to speedsolve them because of the awkward turning of both, compared to a cube

So, for entertainment I just solve some 3x3 shapemod, or a rex cube, megaminx, etc. and for speedsolving I'm more into cubes (mainly 3x3)

I've got a shanty 42 haha but thats way to small to finger trick 2handed. I'm looking more in the 54-55mm range. I've never tried a full sized Zhanchi, are they any goof next to the new cubes that have come out?

There good but you have to break them in a lot before they become good. If you want something in the 54-54mm range a mini Weilong would probably be better. (I have a full size one but there shouldn't be much of a difference.)

Hi, I'm looking for a 3x3 with feeling similar to the Huachuang. I've got one and I just love it. I've seen a lot of cube reviews but I didn't find anything.

 

[sqAree]

A standard 5x5? (not too expensive if possible, but not necessary)

As for the feels, I have HuaLong and am very happy with it, but I also like the WeiLong. For 4x4 the Yuxin works fine for me, but I don't have a comparison.

In fact there is a clear difference. The mini is slower and even feels different. It is a good cube, don't get me wrong, but I would choose the regular sized one hands down. Anyway, that's my only mini size cube so I cannot compare it to the Zhanchi(s) or Aolong.
