Does anyone know of a cube that is similar to the CX3? I've read that the Huanying is somewhat crunchy, is that true?

It's crunchy, but doesn't turn well at all. Try a zhanchi, or a cyclone boys simplified version.

RJ is wrong, I have a huanying and its great. although he is right about the zhanchi.

Whoa. He just talked down a Moyu cube! But yeah. Zhanchi is good but I wouldn't call it as crunchy as CX-3 and Huanying. And Huanyings are nice. I used an awesome once.

I did indeed. I don't really like huanyings.

I have a Zhanchi, It's not crunchy I don't think. Maybe a little clicky

I dunno abt CX-3, what about a Gans 3 for a crunchy cube? I really like it, though it doesnt remain that crunchy after you lube it...

I've heard that a Gans feels very cheap and flimsy. If you like crunchy cubes you could try a Weilong v2.

Gans IIIs are very crunchy. So are CX-3s.

What are three 3x3x3s that perform the best in objective areas (such as speed and corner cutting) with the least maintenance? I am asking about performance out-of-the-box as well as over time.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Weilong, Zhanchi, Fangshi Shauangren, CX3. Any are great cubes.
Out of them I would say the weilong and zhanchi are the best out of the box.

Took the words out of my mouth. Except zhanchi is replaced with CX-3.

I have a GansIII on the way. Are there no other crunchy cubes aside from the CX3 and Gans III? Zhanchi I understand. Weilong V2 I've heard multiple times smooths out once broken in. There have to be more crunchy cubes out there.

Yeah, when you are used to a weilong or a zhanchi, this cube feels very light. Sometimes it locks up, as it has less corner cutting and it feels flimsy. But it performs really well. It does not feel cheap though... If you like a zhanchi, i think you will like the feel of a Gans

So Weilong, CX-3, Fangshi, Zhanchi? It was in the list too.
How would one describe the feeling of a Weilong?

Most of them? Pretty bumpy. Not crunchy so much as bumpy. Mine is ridiculously broken in.. It's to the point where I can pop it on occasion.

Lingyun or lunhui for general speed cubing and maybe OH?
kcl

Probably lingyun, lunhui is a bit catchy. My lingyun is extremely easy turning, so I use it for OH sometimes.
What cube is the most closely related to the ShengShou Aurora's accuracy and control ability? I have the Moyu Weilong and it is just too inaccurate for my tastes (over shooting). I really like the accuracy and feel of my Aurora, but I am interested in buying another cube. Any recommendations? I also have a Zanchi but I let a friend borrow it.

I would say try a guhong v2, do the 48PEM. Ignore RJ, he'll tell you to overlube the weilong.
