for sure, I actually live in china so all the cubes are so cheap haha. I've actually wondered if gans would ever produce one. they don't seem that interested in it atm though
What will the next gen of 4x4's look like?

As long as the next gen of 4x4's has 60mm options I'll be happy

On November 24th, Moyu posted the MF4S on their Facebook page. It's 62mm with nice rounded corners of the pieces. It looks cool. I especially like the green internals on the stickerless. I've been waiting for the Cubing Classroom 4x4.
@4Chan, @camcuber:
When will you be carrying this in your stores?
What are your thoughts on this? Is this an improved version of the Yusu R?

Unsure, probably soon!

This Cyclone Boys 57mm 4x4 was just released. I found a bunch of good photos at the ZCUBE.vip website.
The mechanism looks just like the G4.
Maybe 60mm wasn't small enough. Will the next generation of 4x4's be the same size as the original 3x3's?

Gan could release a 4x4

Yeah, that's what @TheChaiCuber was talking about. I think Gan's first 4x4 would be super fast, have except corner cutting, but be very unstable.Gan could release a 4x4
Gan, I challenge you to prove me wrong!

If they released one they would name it the gan462

hopefully, it would be more like GAN460! QiYi made the Wuque 62mm, and a lot of people think they should've made it 60mm. These companies need to realize that most of us like the smaller 4x4's. Take a look at the new Cyclone Boys 4x4. It's 57mm!

I finally got this today, and it's legit. As far as I can tell it is a shrunken G4, with all the good and bad of that. It is stable, ridiculously fast, and slightly catchy. I'm guessing the last one, and possibly two, will decrease with more solves.
As far as size, sure, it would be great for people with small hands, but if a 57mm 3x3 is good for somebody with large hands, do your hands grow because the cube has one more layer? My hands are 9 3/8" thumb to pinkie. The 57mm and 60mm CB 4x4s feel equally good as far as size to me, but my 62mm Aosu is definitely the old clunker of the bunch.
Edit: oh yeah, the stickerless shades are fantastic.
Edit 2: the speed is slowing down. So far the catching isn't. I've gotten a few sub-1:40 singles, I think even a 1:30.xx, which is probably one of my 10 fastest solves ever, but it seems I'm averaging about 1:56 with this vs 1:49 with the G4.

Yes, after a lot of solves, my 57mm CB Feiteng 4x4 is freaking awesome! I think this could really catch on.
What do y'all think?
(Oooohh.. that's going in the New Puzzle Hype/Wishlist Thread!)
I thought about this, but after a lot of solves, I've determined that people with wide fingers might not like this one. For me, it's great because I have shorter fingers that aren't thick, so the thin layers of this cube work out for me. Also, I think it's more comfortable to do wide layer turns so I don't have to strain to reach the other side of the cube. I really do think that if QiYi made a 57mm version of the Wuque, it would easily become many people's favorite. In my opinion.

Hmm. You make a good point. I'll have to break this cube out again and give it a try with that in mind. I have reasonably long and thick fingers. That might be part of the cause of the catching that made me go back to the G4. I can easily do slice moves on the G4, and occasionally on 5x5, but there I usually do something like Rw R' instead, and certainly not slice moves for 6x6 and 7x7.

QiYuan 4x4
Another potentially awesome 4x4 from QiYi (posted on the QiYi Facebook). What could be better than the Wuque?

From what I've heard, the QiYuan will be more like a "budget" 4x4. ):

!!!Now I'm even more excited! I'm a sucker for budget cubes.
That stickerless blue shade looks like the same plastic as the Warrior W. That frosted plastic is amazing!

Many people. I think the Guansu is better.

What is your evaluation of the Qi Yuan vs Guansu?

I don't have either of them, that is just what a lot of people say.
