What was your first speedcube?

[Carbon]

stickerless lingyun, anyone?...

No, but it was a DIY lingyun which is till use sometimes!

 

[STOCKY7]

Haiyan's Alpha V. Man what a cube! I used to think it was the **** - then I got the Zhanchi and I was converted.

Cube4You speedcube, it turns quite well but it corner cuts like crap, but I won't let it go

Dayan Guhong

Mine was a Dayan Taiyan, I got down to a 30 second average on it.

 

[GuRoux]

zanchi and guhong at the same time.

I've done some analytics on this thread:

guhong: 38
zhanchi: 20
rubiks: 10
c4y: 9
haiyan: 9
aolong: 6
storebought: 6
av: 6
f2: 4
maru: 3

There are 689 unique words overall, might have missed some models in there, but I think those are the significant ones.
Anyway mine was an old type A from C4Y.

I'm with you man, i remember those soft feeling plastics and that yellow core of the Type A. Waited like 3 weeks for that cube to ship. The memories

Dayan Zhanchi (not DIY though. None of my cubes are DIY)

Type F speedcube. Useless crap, the caps fell off all the time even with paper inside! tbh I prefered my original rubiks brand as first speedcube, with lube and good breaking in it was really fast for some reason.. sub 1 PLL's possible

 

[SPN]

Stickerless YJ YuLong for the win! XD

 

[TDM]

GuHong v2.

 

[NewCuber000]

A stickers Dayan Zhanchi. I know most people will disagree but I hate that cube. Great at first, but after a few months of use and trying to tension it, it started to be bad and weird feeling, not to mention HORRIBLE POPS.. My Moyu Aolong V1 on the other hand has popped twice since August, both due to my horrible turning. Which is kind of worth the odd corner twist every thousandish solves.

I can't barely even sub-2.5 some of my PLLs (N and E perms) On my MOYU AOLONG, I'd never do it on a rubiks brand XD

dayan Zhanchi

 

[Dounat]

YuLong

 

[nalralz]

Black Dayan Zhanchi and then a White Dayan Zhanchi. I then got a orange c4y cube, then a black c4y, then a Moyu YJ, then a Moyu Aolong V2. I moght be getting a Gunong V2 soon also.

Stickerless Guhong. I replaced it with my Weilong when I realized cubing didn't have to make your wrists sore

Same as. I bought a twin pack of stickerless Guhong v1s from Amazon.

Still like them, but they are not my main cube anymore.

Stickerless Dayan Zhanchi. After playing around with it for a while, my times improved about 20-30 seconds (I had the original Rubik's cube) and I thought that at this rate, I'll have the world record in no time!!! Little did I know.....

 

[LarryLunchmeat]

My first real speedcube was a Dayan Guhong. I've had dozens of 3X3's since but that first Guhong still holds a spot in my heart.

 

[Ranzha]

C4Y Speedcube! I still have the package it came in, but the cube itself is long gone.

My next few cubes were a mini Diansheng, a Type A-II, and a mini Type C. I still have those except the A-II.
