hey guys .
I'm stuck in choosing a 4x4 .
I heard mefferts is good.
I was checking mefferts website and I saw a mini mefferts 4x4 that I've never heard before !

I need a good and small 4x4

Is the qj pyraminx good. Any difference between tiled or stickered. Is the mfa megaminx v2 good

 

[Cool Frog]

fII's corner cutting is fine, it's just the m-slices that have problems.
A6 locks up moderately.

WHUT?
FII was my main until Edward CFOP'd it up.
I don't like the AV Mine EXPLODES, maybe its all the M moves.

Is the v-cube 2 really good? I mean the non-pillowed one. My Lan Lan is really shaky even though I did the Arcalan mod, and I retensioned it probably about 20 times. It gets internal pops too, sometimes. Can the v-cube 2 compare with the lan lan 2x2x2? I may get one if the general turning and smoothness is quite similar to the Lan Lan. Thanks

edit: for those who own a lan lan 2x2x2, is there a way to reduce internal pops a lot?

This might have been asked already, but...

Basically, I'm stuck in decision between buying a Mf8 Legend 3x3x3 (Ball Core; I hear it's new) and Lingyun (3x3x3). The Lingyun attracts me due to having great corner-cuts and good turning speed, but deters me because it seems to pop quite readily. The Mf8 Legend attracts me because it's really hard to pop and is fairly fast, but it deters me due to having relatively high lock-ups.
I already have a Guhong, which I think is more similar to the Lingyun(?), so I'm more so considering the Mf8 (mostly as a substitute). Help?

edit: for those who own a lan lan 2x2x2, is there a way to reduce internal pops a lot?

I second this. I own a Lan Lan 2x2x2 and am having the same problems.

My lanlan 2x2 has absolutely NO internal pops. Maybe it's too tight. I dunno, I don't 2x2 quite often.

Is the ghosthand 5x5 any good?

Why don't people think of lingao, when they say "cubetwist is the only brand of clock available"?

 

[theace]

Never knew this existed :O

I may be wrong, but judging from the videos of the listings, the only difference of the hardcover version is the case it came in.

Im looking into a 5x5, but the V5 is kinda over my budget, suggestions?

Not a rubik's brick obviously, I'd say Eastsheens are good if the v-cubes are too pricey.

 

[JyH]

Ghost Hand 5x5

I disagree with hic. I've heard eastsheens are crap and don't cut corners..

I like my Ghost Hand, and it's really cheap, and adjustable.

 

[devoblue]

Ghosthand 5x5 or YJ Spring Edition 2nd Gen 5x5. Same cube, but YJ is usually cheaper.

 

[TiLiMayor]

I guess the ghosthand comes with the same kind of stickers as the 3x3GH, so Im going for the YJ, is it adjustable too? and, by 'Same cube' yuu mean same v5 KO?

 

[devoblue]

Not having a V5 I can't be certain, but the Ghosthand and YJ look like they are from the same mold, have interchangeable pieces, both are adjustable, and both have textured stickers common to YJ cubes, nothing like the GhostHand stickers.

I'm looking for a good megaminx, under 20 bucks includig shipping?
Also a really clicky cube that is good
And a 4x4 that is not over 20$

 

[mr6768]

megaminx : mf8
and for 4x4 I suggest to add 2 or 3 bucks and get a dayan.
or Shengshou 4x4 is good (Its'also clicky on outer layers).
