[Help Thread] "What cube should I get?" The Puzzle Choice Thread

[CubePro]

Thanks for the recommendation! BTW I'm around 1 min at OH so will it be ok for me?

 

[TDM]

Guys I want a cube for OH. 57 mm cubes feel really big in my hands. I'm around 1 min at OH. Should I get the Fangshi mini or the Weilong mini? Or should I get used to my 57 mm Aolong? Thanks!

The mini ShuangRen has smaller outer layers, but the same size slices as 57mm cubes. If you use Roux OH then I would definitely recommend the mini ShuangRen, but otherwise it's slightly harder to turn with it.

ShuangRen Mini is easier to turn but too uncontrollable, IMO. The Mini WeiLong is nice, stable and controllable for OH. I also like the Mini AoLong.

Out of these choices for 2x2's, which would be the best all-around cube, like, good corner cutting, good speed, smooth turning, stuff like that. I really like cubes with sort of a buttery feel when turning.
MoYu Lingpo
DaYan Zhanchi
MoYu Tangpo
Yuxin 2x2

Ok TYSM for the suggestions. Will look into buying a Weilong mini

Moyu AoLong v2 or Moyu WeiLong

I just ordered a white Moyu AoLong v2. Im pretty sure this is the cube i want, but i want to hear from some people which they find is better.

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

this should probably go in what cube should i get thread, its already a bit too late haha, but personally i prefer the weilong

 

[LukeTheCuber]

mini moyu aosu or yuxin 4x4?

 

[b0ssGuy23]

I have both. The HuaLong is my main (I prefer it over the TangLong), but I like the WeiLong more.

Weilong V1. V2 is decent, but not great. Break a V1 in with CRC, and WOW!

 

[Praetorian]

I prefer weilong over aolong

 

[Ordway Persyn]

Unlike everyone else that posted I prefer the Aolong v2, both are good though.

 

[AuRoRa]

Personally I love my aolong v2

MoYu Lingpo
DaYan Zhanchi
MoYu Tangpo
Yuxin 2x2

The DaYan 2x2 is still considered by most to be the best of the bunch, but I'd say the TangPo has a good chance of taking it's place in the top spot. Though barely anyone has the TangPo yet.

The reason for my prediction is that I got the YJ YuPo yesterday (another 2x2 worth considering) and it's already really great. Spent a good portion of today breaking it in, an dafter lubing it, I'd say it's at least on par with -if not better- than my DaYan, surprising as that may be. If the TangPo turns out to be a more "premium", pricier version of the YuPo (their mechanisms are pretty similar), then I've no doubt that it'll be the best around.

But as I said, not many people have got their TangPos yet. Wait and see.

Is the difference of price between the aosu and the yuxin worth it?

I'm not that fast at 4x4.

Yes. Half the price for equivalent performance.

 

[simoneRoy]

Is the yuxin 4x4 hard to set up?

 

[rj]

I think it's amazing out of the box.

 

[Isaac Lai]

Is the Yuxin timer of around the same quality as a stackmat? I'd like to get a stackmat, but it's kind of hard to justify paying $32 for a timer to my mum.

i'm not really into one handed but from my experience weilong can overshoot a bit but it has good cornercutting but the fangshi might not corner cut well in tighter tensions.
