I'm assuming all the Wu-line cubes feel similar. I have the WuQue and the WuHua, and aside from the catching in the WuHua (which might not be present on newer batch or stickerless cubes, but that's not confirmed), they have a very similar, swishy, light feeling on the inner layers, and a very similar fluid or rolling feeling on the outer layers.
I've heard that the WuChuang and WuJi feel similar as well, which makes sense, because they're in the same series and use the same basic type of mechanism as the even-order cubes.

I'd say the Valk feels like the WuQue, except blocky. I don't know about 2x2, but I'd bet the corresponding QiYi cube is close.

Thanks. My Qiyi Wushuang feels a lot different compared to the Qiyi Wuque though. I think the puzzles are the same size so for me it's a bit harder to turn the layers and often misturn on it, whereas this never really happens with the Wuque.

What's the WuChuang? I can't find out what it is.

I did find it a little strange that they were the same size, I'd have to try it to comment though.

A typo. I meant to say "WuShuang," but confused it with the "WeiChuang."

I've checked and it looks like they're the exact same size. The Qiyi Wushuang would probably be more suited to someone with smaller hands. My hands aren't that big and can turn it comfortably, but frequently it slightly misaligns an inner layer, especially during 3x3 stage and it disrupts the flow to fix it. Still a very good cube. Just appears to be quite different to the Wuque.

For 2x2-7x7, (excluding 4x4) which cubes have a feel as close as possible to the Qiyi Wuque while still performing very well?

I have the wuque and the wushuang and they feel similar. The other 2 wu- line cubes I don't have but I have tried and can say they feel pretty similar as well.

I'm gonna buy my first skewb soon, I know there probably isn't any best and that it doesn't matter when your slow. But I just wondered, what's the best skewb as of right now?

If it's a guanlong it's overpriced I think you can get them for like 4$. I don't have a guanlong so I dont really know if it's good but I think it's pretty meh.

Go for the Moyu magnetic, the best of the market in my opinion and not so expensive.

I was recently solving on my Alpha CC, and remembered loving the feeling of it, and still do.
So I was wondering, are there any 2013 or newer 3x3s that have a similar feel to the CC?

Hello everyone, I'm deciding to have a new 3x3 cube, and I am thinking of a thick plastic cube, which little amount of catches, and not extremely fast. I'm thinking about Guoguan Yuexiao, Moyu Weilong GTS, Aolong V2 and Qiyi Thunderclap V1, can I have some comments and comparisons between these cube, or with another cube is OK, too. Thanks so much.

Hello,

My younger bother wants a 2x2 that works good but is cheap. We were looking at the MF2S 2x2 and were wondering if it works good? Is it like the MF3RS 3x3?

KungFu YueHun hands down. Arguably one of the best 2x2 and quite cheap.

Just get the Valk 3, no regrets, I had my Weilong GTS and Thunderclap V1 as my main before but after getting the Valk, I literally started hating the feel of weilong gts and TC V1.

Yes, the valk3 is brilliant and it is getting cheaper on cube store sites now, I got it for £16 but I think you can now get it for £11 of cubezz but fyi I really don't like the aolong

I really like MoYu Yupo, it's my first 2x2 and very cheap but it feels smooth and corner cuts well. However I'm not better than 7-8 seconds so the cube works fine at least for me.

Hi cube friends!

I am so happy to find such a welcoming and knowledgeable group of people that share my husband's interest in cubes.

He wants to get me my very own cube, and I am obsessed with tiny/miniature things.

There are quite a few options available, many of which have pretty bad reviews.

I would appreciate a recommendation for a tiny 3x3 that is functional, and won't immediately fall apart.

I realize that it isn't possible for it to be easily twisted and turned like a regular cube, and because of the tiny size, it is delicate and fragile.

.. but most reviews I have read of the tiny cubes complain that they break into pieces nearly immediately.

Has anyone had luck with a tiny cube?

Thank you in advance [emoji4]

Smallest mass-produced 3x3 (15mm)

Lots of 30mm 3x3s which aren't terrible.

Yuxin 35mm which is a lot more speedcube-like

I am wondering approximately how long the time gap is between cube releases from any given company. Is it similar to say some kind of technology like a phone that comes out every year? I am wondering since I'm thinking about purchasing the Gan 356 Air, but don't know if I should maybe wait a few more months, and get a newer cube that might offer an even better setup. Thanks in advance!

It really depends on the company. Gans usually comes out with a cube every 6 months (correct me if I'm wrong) and the last one was the Gans Air UM. That came out in earlier this month so my prediction is the next one will come out during July-August.

Moyu on the other hand

Moyu comes out with a new 3x3 from sub brands very often (once a month).
