My personal favourites are the ZhanChi and the GuHong. You could try the Godly GuHong and the Ultimate Lubix Zhanchi as well. Pick up some Maru Lube while you're at it...

Ah, thank you.
But i didn't knew there was a special lube for cubes. I always used silicon spray. What does this lube better, and why does it this better?
Not that i'm sceptic about this, as i will put the lube in my digital shopping cart, but rather curious.

Thank you very much! Are these good cubes, or basic cubes? I'm going to be getting a few of these for Christmas, so I'll ask for some good ones

shengshou 6x6 or v6? I want a good 6x6 but the v6 mod sounds like too much for me, especially because of school getting caught up.

 

[SpeedSolve]

The v6 mod does take time, even thought I haven't done it (yet) I should be doing the mod over thanksgiving break, cause I get a whole week off. Besides the point, the v6 is a lot better when you have done the mod, and even the Shengshou needs to be modded as well, and tensioned correctly.

it will probably take a lot of time, worrying about the pins and because i don't have a dremel. how can i make a dremel out of ordinary household objects, if it is possible? (i was thinking about using an electronic toothbrush, until i discovered that it wasn't fast enough.

It's likely that you won't be able to. I'd recommend a SS 6x6, it's way better out of the box and in the first few months (the V6 doesn't beat it until you fully mod, lube, and tension it AND break it in with a few hundred solves).

HOW did the beginning of this thread turn into the end???
(3x3 ≠ 6x6)

You can post questions for any cube you want. Nothing in the thread specified that it had to be a 3x3.

I goolgled mf8 and found they have a site (didnt know they had there own site), and on there was a master kilominx for like 38$. Is it worth it or is there a different site or brand that sells them? sry if this is the wrong thread for this question, thanks.

Don't worry, it's the right thread

I haven't heard of too many other sites that sell them. You would probably be fine ordering from there (or you could try Meffert's, not sure if they have them though).

 

[CUB3R01]

I really love the feel of the V-cube 5x5. It has this certain feeling that is different from any other cube I have ever had. It might have to do with the type of plastic.. but I'm not sure. What 3x3 cube feels like the V-cube 5x5? Are there any puzzles besides 3x3, or maybe not even cube-shaped puzzles, that feel like the 5x5?

 

[MCRcuber]

The closest thing i can think of is the Maru 4x4

I would say it feels like the Lunhui. It is pretty smooth and won't pop, without being overwhelmingly fast. Still pretty hard to compare 3x3s to 5x5s though.

Yeah it is weird to try and compare 3x3's to 5x5's... but thanks for the reply! I'll check out the Lunhui. And maybe the maru 4x4 as well.

I was just wondering what Dayan cube I should get for OH. (Other than the Zhanchi)

I just want a nice paced controlable cube for OH. I average 50+ for OH. (Yeah I suck)

I average even worse. Maybe Guhong? I find my Zhanchi keeps falling out of my left hand when I OH so I switched to Guhong and improved to averaging 55 (average of 12 has times from 30 to 90 sec :fp )
