Stickerless QiYi Skewb (and Pyraminx)

[willtri4]

I asked thecubicle.us through their Contact Us page what the new square-1s are and they replied that "The new square-1s are supposedly by QiYi and a new company called FanXin."

Oh yesss!!!

"90% of people who are serious about 7x7 use a mini shengshou"

One key reason for that is that the Mini SS is used over the Aofu is that the Aofu is only in pillowed, but when the cubic comes out I think you will find that the 90% will switch to the better Aofu.

"The shengshou 6x6 is also hardly rubbish."

It is rubbish. I have never tried a cube that locks up and pops as much, or is as hard to reassemble as it and would prefer a V cube 6 over an unmodded SS.

"Also no way is the LanLan skewb better than the shengshou."

If the Moyu didn't exist I would use a Lanlan as my main as I find the SS is too clicky. Plus my point was that the Qiyi will probally be better than the SS.

The aofu pops a lot, swap out the SS 6x6's spring and break in to make it good, SS skewb with lanlan springs is godly

What bout the 8x8, 9x9, 10x10, mirror blocks and Pyramorphinx (I now they aren't WCA puzzles but name other Brands that are better at those puzzles)

To add even more to the rise of Qiyi, they're coming out with a square-1.

Also brilliant!
I might get the stickerless skewb for my skewb collection.

I meant with WCA puzzles...

A well modded Shengshou mega is definitely as good as, if not better than, the rest of the megas on the market. Just figured I'd throw that last puzzle in.

I like how we derailed this thread to shengshou we should talk more about Qiyi.

Any release dates for these cubes?

 

[DTCuber]

I asked the cubicle.us if they knew any new information about the Qiyi skewb and they told me this: "It might have been delayed. Their Pyraminx will be coming in stock soon, so the skewb is probably on the way."

 

[DTCuber]

The Qiyi Pyraminx in on the cubicle.us for preorder! http://thecubicle.us/qiyi-pyraminx-p-4800.html

 

[AlexMaass]

I'll edit the thread title to include the pyraminx, seems like this could be a great pyraminx!
