I want a good 4x4, that is 6cm. Turns well and cuts corners somewhat, doesn't pop much. I prefer stickers to tiles.

 

[sofeeuhh]

Well! A Stickerless GuHong should be "water proof" until the screws rust or something (if they aren't rustfree, I don't know), Gan's Cube should be too, and any stickerless cube really

No, the stickerless GuHong isn't that great for water solving. There are too many cracks in the pieces and water gets in them easily, slowing the cube down by a lot. (I know from trying to wash my stickerless GuHong.) I suggest trying a fully sealed cube.

Hi guys, I'm new here. I've been solving cube for 6 months but i can't get under 1 minute because it turns very hard. I used lubricant, petroleyum jelly, everything. So i want to buy rubik cube that turns very quickly. I was watching on Ebay but i don't know what is better. So can anybody can post a link with best choice for buying?

i suggest an ultimate guhong or lunhui.

 

[amgod]

yes, yes. that is what i need. brilliant, thank you very much. but, is there the same cube but with lower price?

 

[Godmil]

You can get Guhong's elsewhere for cheaper, but they aren't set up as well. I don't like my regular GuHong, but my Ultimate one is my main cube. Still, if you've currently only got a storebought, almost anything will seems like a big improvement.

Most people go for LanLan's, they really aren't very expensive and are good quality out of the box.

Yeah, I really liked my Lanlan and it wasn't expensive. I haven't even lubed it, feels like it doesn't need it. Only annoying thing is that it pops sometimes. Well, you can adjust the tension of course.

For an extra dollar, quality is worth it. For example, Pepsi is twenty more cents expensive than my local generic cola. That said, I opt for the Pepsi. Twenty cents for better quality , joy, and satisfaction is worth it.

Thanks guys. I've got it now, and I'm really happy with it. Nice color scheme too.

I got a few questions.
Ghost Hand II vs. FII. I heard that they're very similar. What's the difference and which is better?
What cube is the best in terms of speed and what is the quietest cube?
Also, for anyone out there who has tried an Edison cube, is there a newer cube out there with the same swishy feel?

Ghosthand: quieter
F2: faster better

To my experience, the Ghosthand II is actually a bit faster, but it locks up like crazy, so I would go with the FII.

 

[theace]

I would recommend the Type F - II as well. The GH-II locks up like crazy. That cube just won't cut it (rather lame pun intended).

 

[stone]

which cube is better, guhong or lunhui. And does the guhong realy pops so often? i wuold like to know which cube you like more guys.

 

[Mike Crozack]

square 1: mf8 with the ball core
pyraminx: QJ

 

[Mnts]

Stone, definately get a lunhui.

Hello, I hope this is the thread to post in: what cube should I get? t.t
I just did a bit of research, apparently there are different manufacturers as well as diy/assembled types. I just started cubing (like 1 week ago?) and I'm currently learning the f2l of the fridrich method, so an information like "cutting corners 8/10" or "pops 9/10" doesn't help me. But looking in this thread, I think a cube which forces me to be accurate in my movement is a good choice.
Other than that the price is obv of matter...
Plus, does anyone know what the shipping costs to Europe are when I buy it in one of these chinese stores? Thanks for help

Take a look at this post. And if you buy from LighTake, they have free shipping.
