How does it compare to other alpha cubes?

 

[pcuber]

It just so happens that this cube or some thing like it can be bought here.

 

[axe97]

I am sooooo getting this cube, cant wait for it.

 

[will6680]

The centers look so intense.

 

[iSpinz]

@pcuber: Thats not this cube

@axe97: This thread is a year old.

 

[Inf3rn0]

@iSpinz: No its not. Unless that was a dumb exaggeration.

 

[Lorken]

I want one now! Might as well wait for this instead of getting an alpha V now.

I'd hate to correct you but....no, that is the A5-SV.
You can see that there is the L-shaped track on the edge piece, which the Alpha Haiyan does not have.


(The Alpha Haiyan is also known as Haiyan's cube, not to be confused with the Haiyan's Haihihiyan Haiyan yan's Hi Haiyan Haiyan^3 cube)

Now to the design; what are the little holes on the edge and corner caps for? Actually, it is the weight adjustment design that was handed down from the HaiYan: you could put screws in these holes to change the weight to your liking (though apparently not many people knew about this feature…or that they could not find the proper sized screws so they never tried it before). There are some improvements on this feature in the new Alpha V-SV cube that makes it more accessible: the holes are now molded onto the caps rather than on the pieces like before.
And to solve the problem of finding the proper screws, in the final edition will be enclosed the corresponding screws for the weight adjustment. If you want your cube light, it is extremely lightweight; but if you prefer heavier cubes, simply attach more weight to the pieces and you will be satisfied by the result.

Oh wow, I love this feature. It's a great idea.

This solved the problem of the corner and edge pieces hitting on each other (Daniel: I’m not quite sure of what he’s talking about here…) and, above all, looks much better and more elegant.

Hehe, I like this part of your translation (I don't speak/read/write Chinese, but based of your translation, I'm guessing he might've meant "This solved the problem of the corner pieces locking up with the edge pieces.")

Only just really looked at this thread now, usually hardware threads bore me, but now I'm opening a store, I thought it would be good to have a look. The cube sounds absolutely amazing. Great design, based off a great cube. Can't wait to try one. Also, thanks a lot for the translation. The Chinese might as well just be " ............. " and I'd understand it no less. Thanks for this

Too many new "revolutionary" cubes recently. When something tops the GuHong, then let me know.

Hey White Lynx, there is actually an Alpha IV SV. I have one and Jefferey of icubemart has 1. You can buy them from someone on ebay, I forget who. If you need me to, I'll find you the link. It is no longer made, and I don't think they were ever for sale.

 

[yockee]

Actually, here is my review on the A4 - SV or A4 - f.
