MF8 V2, QJ V2, or Mefferts. Mefferts is usually considered the best, but it's also about $20 more expensive than the other two. Unless you're pro at megaminx, I'd suggest MF8 of QJ.

Get a QJ V2, then some tiles from Cubemith.

 

[Amir Nafisi]

whats your idea about goujia?rubiks?

 

[James Ludlow]

I get okay times with my rubiks brand.

Its that old adage that springs to mind though, "It's the cuber, not the cube"

Why the QJ over the MF8 (and whats with the random letters)? Also, I thought cubesmith only had tiles for cubical puzzles.

People speak highly of the QJ version 2. Look for reviews of it on Youtube. Either that or MF8 Version 2. I haven't tried either, by the way.

Right now I have a Dayan Zhanchi and lubed it with lubix but not I am looking for a 3x3 that is fast but has bad corner cutting so i can get more accurate with my turning.
Do any of you have any suggestions?

 

[aznanimedude]

no joke, the first cube i have, which is like 2 years old and was vaseline'd and now lubix'd is fast but cuts so horribly

I like the QJ better plus it's super cheap. (What random letters?)

 

[apoplectic]

What random letters?

QJ and MF8, I know what V2 means. I'd just like to know if they are acronyms or something

"QJ" and "MF8" are brands of cubes.

 

[apoplectic]

"QJ" and "MF8" are brands of cubes.

I gathered that, I was just wondering if the brand names themselves are acronyms, sort of like the brand name for the shoe brand Asics is short for anima sana in corpore sano (Latin for A healthy soul in a healthy body).

My guhong v2 core just broke and I'm wondering what core I should get for replacement. Another Dayan core, alpha 1 core, c4u core. Also tell me if I should also get a screw spring set. Thank you.

 

[MWilson]

C4U cores are crazy strong.

I need a 4x4. Not looking to spend much, about 10-20$. My Shangshou lost a piece. It also popped and locked up a lot.

 

[Reprobate]

I'm not sure what other options there are are for 4x4, but as a bit of a collecting nut, I have a LanLan, a Shengshou, and a Dayan+MF8. The Shengshou is by far the best. The LanLan is worse with lockups. The Dayan might have potential with some work, but I was disappointed with how stiff it was out of the box and haven't really played with it. Also it was over $20, compared to $9 or $10 for the other two.

I'm thinking of just buying an edge piece and stickers for my Shengshou, but I didn't really enjoy using it. It popped a lot.
