What's the Best 3x3 Speedcube for You? -- Comparison of Major Speedcubes [video]

Would you say it is better than the Moyu Weilong v2? Also, I am used to/need a cube at least nearly as fast as a weilong, so is it?
Thx,

If you have a weilong v2, don't expect a big jump in quality to the AoLong. The AoLong has a different feel than the WeiLong, but it's similar enough that, unless you just like spending money on cubes, there's not much reason to get the AoLong. I collect a lot of different 3x3s, so I don't mind having both, but I'd be just fine with either of them.

I have both a Weilong V2 and Aolong V2
Personally, I prever the Weilong
The turning is much smoother and faster on the Weilong
The Aolong has a slightly bumpier feel
The Weilong has a smoother crunchier feel
and the Aolong feels more crisp and buttery

It's hard to describe but the Weilong has a "cleaner" feel to it
the Aolong kind of has a gummy feeling although i haven't put much lube on it
it takes a little more efford to turn and there's just a slight resistance when turning however, this makes the Aolong more comtrolable which is nice

both are good puzzles i just prever the Weilong
one thing to note is that aolong can gum up if you even put a drop of lube on the pieces
so i just lube the corner bases which takes away the sloppy feel of an unlubed aolong and gives it smooth turning without sacrificing speed

The weilong though can have a moderate amount of lube yet still maintain its speed
it takes a lot o lube to gum thr cube up

Thanks for the info, I really don't have a lot of money to spend on cubes, and I'm perfectly happy with my Weilong, so I guess im not missing out on anything!
 
Hello guys!

I'm looking to buy a new cube as my Zhanchi got lost :(.
I myself prefer crunchy feeling and smooth cubes. I'm thinking of buying the Aolong. Should I go for the Aolong or should I look into other cubes like the Weilong or the Tanglong or the Thunderclap. I need you guys' help for buying a new cube

Thanks

Crunchy and smooth are opposites of each other.
 
No, what I mean by that is smooth and fast, but be a little bit bumpy at the same time. For example, I don't like the gans 356 because its wayyy to smooth for me. I prefer the Aolong because it is smooth, but feels bumpy when turning slow and it does feel like you're turning something whereas in the gans 356, you don't need to apply any pressure at all. Anyway guys just suggest me some good cubes of any sort please. Thanks :)

Sorry guys, I had forgot the word. I'm not a fan of *Scratchy* cubes

Smooth and fast. I would think of the Aolong but you already have that. Good cubes? Qiyi Thunderclap, Moyu Hualong, Aolong, Tanglong, Cong's Meiying. (I haven't tried all of them but apparently they're good.) To be honest, your perfect cube sounds like an Aolong, which you already have... :)
 
Actually, I don't have the Aolong lol. But since you have told me that its my perfect cube, I probably will buy it. And BTW I didn't lose my Zhanchi deliberately lol ;) (Schools in India suck, one of my teachers took it from me just because it was in my pocket. I guess it was fair if I was solving it when in the class when the teacher is teaching. But atleast I got an opportunity to buy a better cube than a Zhanchi as you guys said). Do you think that I may like the Tanglong better than the Aolong?

That's sad. That story comes up every once in a while. Teachers seem to like confiscating cubes and then try to see if you were cheating behind your back. Then they get frustrated after they can't do it. :)

Have you tried an Aolong? If so, what do you dislike about it? Have a look at the TangLong too
 
Actually, there's only one thing I dislike about my friend's Aolong. It always smells because he plays with it after eating his meal without washing his hands. lol jk.

There is not a single thing that I dislike about the Aolong. But my dilemma is because there are so many new cubes on the market. I've shortlisted the QiYi Thunderclap, Aolong, Weilong and the Tanglong. Which one is the best in your opinion?
