Review of Main 3x3x3 Cube Models and Clarification on the Naming System of Type A

[yeee707]

Well, I just received my micro? mini? anyway, 45 mm type A. The edges are rectangular, larger than the corners... the center caps WILL NOT stay in at all, but paper should help that. Very crispy, cuts corners well, and pretty fast without lubing. I think lubing might make it overkill as well. I got it from the hknowstore, but it's not listed on their website, you have to contact Calvin Fan personally.

I bought a number of these while I was in China...quality's pretty inconsistent...caps fall off, pops, jams..you name it...1/3 was good though.

is type F-II on par with the type F-I, from this review it does seem the best and most of the time a next model is an improvement

If a mod would let me, I (and others) could help contribute (since pentrixter is banned) to this by adding new cubes (e.g. haiyan's cube)

Would anyone mind if I added this to the wiki? Then we could all make contributions, new cubes coming out, ect.

Just seemed like something I should give everyone the heads up about.

You should've just added the score of each into their respective place.

some pictures are wrong. The picture of Type A II is wrong, that's Type A I. And there is no Type A IV because IV is not a good number in China. We use Type A V to replace it. And there is New Type A IV, but it is not released now. Haiyan's cube should be Type A VI, but we change the name because Haiyan is one of the designers.

Maybe you're right, but Pentrixer's been banned... so nobody can edit the pages

So put it all on the wiki -- alternatively ask Stefan to put the information on his website.

Cride5, I love what you've done with the wiki, but it's bare. There is little information in there.

please do some research before posting wrong information. the Type A IV exists, it's just that it's not called A4 in china. And the chinese superstition really isn't the reason.

I'm so sorry. There is Type A IV. I just forgot it. We call it Model One. It is prepared for beginners.
You know the reason why we don't call it A4? I heard it was about superstition.
