How do you think the WeiChuang will change the rankings of top 5x5s?

I want to replace my CB 5x5 but I will wait until the new Qiyi 5x5. I watched a video of it and turns amazingly, and its smaller than the present cubes, maybe has the size of the huachuang, so problably I will be getting these because I prefer smaller cubes.

I've been wanting a quieter cube recently. Not as my main, but just as something i can use when people get annoyed with the loud noise of my Weilong GTS. I'm pretty new to speed cubing, so i don't know too much, but I'm thinking about a Gans 356 V2. Any suggestions?

Also, Where I could buy it would be helpful.

 

[qwertycuber]

I would definitly recommend the qiyi thunderclap (v1 or v2 doesn't matter), at cancube.ca

Weilong GTS. It's a great cube and I don't believe in "Buy a cheaper cube first and get a better one later"
TheCubicle.us is a great place to buy cubes.

ay I've been out of the game for awhile. Last time I kept up-to-date with hardware was like 2013.

Just taught a friend to solve the cube, and looking to get a beginners' cube for him. I'd prefer something that:

• Is immune to pops
  
• Shouldn't require lube
  
• Doesn't have to be super fast

In 2013 I would've bought a FangShi ShuangRen. That one required little to no lube and would only pop if you lit a firecracker in it. Is the ShuangRen still considered decent? What cubes have usurped it since?

The Thunderclap is solid, not overly expensive, and in my experience simply doesn't pop. The V1, at least, does corner twist, however. It is also very fast out of the box, but slows down pretty quickly.

Hey! New to this community and was just wondering if anyone knew of a good stickerless cube that comes with a pink shade rather than a red one? Thanks!

 

[rumarfer28]

Moyu Aolong comes in pink.
Almost every cube from 2x2 to 7x7 from them comes with candy colours except the new ones, that aren't stickerless and the Bochuang. It seems that they are not going to release more candy colours.

 

[Lemntea]

Are those the only cubes out with pink stickerless? Looking for a budget 3x3. Thank you btw, your reply was very helpful!

I recently want a megaminx. nothing professional just a beginer one that doesn't catch is quite smooth but not fast. Any recomendations ?

 

[mafergut]

Best ones right now are the Shengshou Aurora Megaminx and the Qiyi / X-man Desing Galaxy (there are like 4 different options, the best one seems to be the "sculpted stickerless").

The SS Aurora is cheaper and maybe as good as the Qiyi or close to that, so I would recommend it.

Thanks for the information ! But I don't want anything that good I won't speedcube i will just casually solve it, i just need something smooth and not catchy and on the cheaper-side.

For casual solving almost any modern mega will do. The old Shengshou is also very smooth but with poor corner cutting. Anyway the SS Aurora is only a couple dollars more

Ok, thanks! I'll get the old one ! I don't need good corner cutting because I won't speedcube with it

You may not be speedcubing it but a smooth turning puzzle without lockups dramatic improves the fun imo.

YJ and fanxin have some cubes with pink stickerless too, but YJ and moyu are kind of the same thing. For a budget 3x3 with pink stickerless, I'd say the YJ Guanlong which is only 4 dollars at some stores.

by now ,you can wait the guanhu cube

 

[Abhay Singh Tomar]

Get the YJ Yuhu If you are starting out with the megaminx, it's cheap but it might be too fast right out of the box.. just break it in and lube it with weight 3.
