The 2x2 Thread

[kprox1994]

There have been a lot of 2x2's released in the past few months. So I thought that I would make a thread about all of the different 2x2's available and where to buy them.

Rubik's
Description: One of the worst 2x2's available. Don't even bother with this one.
Where to buy:rubiks.com

Eastsheen
Description:A pretty good 2x2. If you break it in with a few thousand solves, it cuts corners reasonably well. As long as the cube doesn't loosen up too much.
Where to buy: Popbuying, Cube4You

Maru
Description:to do
Where to buy:Popbuying, Cubing Weekly

LanLan
Description:Screw Spring structured and very smooth. Although it does not glide as well as an Eastsheen, it locks up a whole lot less and it a lot better. Very sturdy and not wobbly and loose like the ES.
Where to buy:Popbuying,Cube Depot,SpeedCubeShop,Speedcubing Store

Diansheng
Description:The DS 2x2 can cut fairly well, but the core is a tad bit fragile, and it is slightly prone to lock-ups after heavy use.

I can only rate DS 2x2 because that's the only screw spring I have. But DS 2x2>ES 2x2

What about it? I included it.

LanLan 2x2:

Screw Spring sturctured and very smooth. Although it's not as fast as an Eastsheen, it locks up a whole lot less and it alot better. Very study and not wobbly and loose like the ES.

LanLan 2x2:

Now updated.

@cuberkid10: Cubes may be looser, turn easier, etc, but they aren't "fast." I would recommend thinking of an alternative word to describe it. Also, it really just depends on the cube. When it comes to ES, some are crap, and some are pretty great after you break them in.

@cuberkid10: Cubes themselves aren't "fast." I would recommend thinking of an alternative word to describe it.

I changed fast to glide.

Although it doesnt glide as well as an Eastsheen...

Lol. I didnt see that post above.

 

[ShadenSmith]

You spelled "structured" incorrectly.

 

[DavidWoner]

Description of the Rubik's is the only accurate one so far.

My experience has been Arcalan > DS > ES > LL > Maru > Rubik's

 

[SuperNerd]

I think ES 2x2 is the best. If you break it in with a few thousand solves, it cuts corners reasonably well. As long as the cube doesn't loosen up too much, it's by far the best 2x2.

Although, I haven't tried the LanLan mod , so I can't say if that's any good.

The DS 2x2 can cut fairly well, but the core is a tad bit fragile, and it is slightly prone to lock-ups after heavy use.
