I have a Moyu Pyraminx But because of the price I'll buy the cube. $7 for a Moyu Magnetic Pyraminx is cheap, but thanks for the answer man

I already had a Qiyi Pyra that I was quite happy with but I saw the Moyu Magnetic at $5.50 or so at Lightake and I couldn't resist. I received it a week ago and oh man, I am nowhere near fast at pyra but this is really great, buttery smooth and so much better than any other pyra I have. Recommended for the price.

I'm thinking of buying a new 3x3 cube, what do you think is better of two: Moyu Aolong v2 and Moyu Weilong GTS. And you can show me some cube that you think it is good. Thank you!

In terms of performance they are pretty much equal. I suggest getting GTS simply because it's the new generation to keep up with the times. Might as well since they are almost the same price.

Edit: I mean quality of performance. Differences in how they performed I think are illustrated well in above posts.

I'm still in that one stage where I can't decide a cube, and I think I should just get a main I could stick with. Here are my criteria:

55-56mm
Tactile feeling, not super smooth.
Corner cutting standard minimum: just under 45. Reverse, maybe 2/3 cubie
I like lighter cubes.
I am not too much of a fan of squared off corners .
I like cubes that don't feel gummy when doing a whole wrist turn.
Age doesn't matter much.
I prefer harder plastics
I am prone to pops with my turning style, since it is rough, and I do use wrist turns for M slice algorithms (unless if it is m2, which I use fingertricks.)
I usually don't catch, and I prefer a good m slice.
I don't like the gans core.
I'm not too much if a fan of cubes related to the meiying.
What should I get?

Any ideas about the 4x4 Aosu?

It's one of the best 4x4s on the market, but if you don't want to spend that much money on a 4x4, I've heard the YuXin Blue can be just as good (although you may need to do a spring swap).

What is a spring swap mean?

Buy the 62mm aosu at lightake, $9 isn't a deal breaker.

I haven't used the Yuxin Blue though.

 

[DGCubes]

What is a spring swap mean?

It's where you replace the springs from one cube with the springs of another. Generally people say the YuXin Blue is best with Thunderclap springs. Although, like phreaker said above, you can buy the AoSu for $9 at lightake, so that's probably your best bet.

do yourself a favor and get the yuxin blue. And if you don't want to do a spring swap or pay that much get the original yuxin, the 2 best 4x4s out there right now. Don't get an Aosu, it's expensive and there's better cubes out there.

I started with a traditional Rubiks brand cube and used it for about 3ish months before getting my first speedcube. I now have a Moyu Aolong V2 and I really like it except for the fact that I think it is almost too fast for me. I wanted to know if anyone knew of a good intermediate speed cube - my best time is only 41 seconds.Also any opinions on stickerless vs. stickers. Thanks(I'm really new to cubing).

 

[Josh Silvers]

I would say a thunderclap. it is really good for intermediate and even fast cubers. and it is 9 dollars

Awesome. Thank you so much that really helps me

 

[qwertycuber]

If you think the Aolong is too fast, the thunderclap will be even faster.

Are there any new 3x3s that feel similar to the old plastic dayan 2x2 being released? Preferably without squared off corners.
Thanks

 

[Honker]

Hey everyone. I am interested in getting a Skewb Ultimate and wanted to see if you might be able to suggest a manufacturer? All I have seen available are the ones made by Mefferts and QJ. Are there any other makers out there? Thanks

Hey guys,

I am going to buy a new 3x3 cube soon, but I'm not sure exactly which one to get. I use a 55mm Zhanchi right now and I'm thinking about getting Moyu Aolong V2. I went to a cubing competition earlier this year and 90% of the people had Aolong V2's so that was definitely the most popular cube. Is there a new cube that is better or an improvement of Aolong V2? I don't want to spend more then about $16. Also since the Aolong V2 is 57mm how will that affect me?
