What was your first speedcube?

[ianography]

What was your first speedcube? It has to be a speedcube that is a 3x3 and is not a Rubik's brand. I say this because a Rubik's brand is not really considered a speedcube by most cubers, and it should be a DIY (such as A-V, F-II, Dayan Guhong, etc.). My first speedcube (or atleast DIY) was this piece of junk C4Y Shengen or ShengShou cube.

Type A

Type A-II with the ridges. Would pop all over the place. What a waste of money.

 

[Erzz]

Type A-I. Still use it sometimes.

 

[AvidCuber]

Rubik's. No, seriously. I got down to around 28-29 with it, then got an Alpha V. And I still used it as a main speedcube right up there with my Alpha V and F-II when I was averaging around 22-24, until it broke.

White Type A-1. The only white cube I ever bought.

C4U, still love the feel, but the pops makes it bad :/

Haiyan Cube.

 

[Blablabla]

Type A (I?). But i disagree about Rubik's not being speedcubes. I can do times amost as fast with my Rubik's brand cube as I can with my FII.

My first "speed cube"* was a Type A-I. I never use it at all anymore because it pops too much and just doesn't feel that great.

*Why do you not consider Rubik's brand cubes to be speed cubes? There are Rubik's DIYs that people use and get respectable times with.

yj 3x3, VGOO1 i think. Its a very good beginners cube, it has every characteristic you'd want in a speedcube except its slow.

you're right, i should've rephrased that. I sorta meant a cube that was a DIY, but I have seen a few rubiks brands that are GODLY.

white C4U

And how it evolved: White C4U --> White Type C --> White F-II --> Black F-II --> Black Guhong
