[Help Thread] Which 5x5 should I get?

[Michael Wimberly]

I want to get my first 5x5. Which one should I get? If you selected the "Other" option in the poll please understand that I don't want to spend more than like $40 USD.

Auchong

I'm gonna put the aochuang on there because I forgot there's a single track version for 25 dollars.
Also why is there a 30 dollar jump for the double track version? That's only 16 more magnets! someone please explain.

Picube Aochuang (currently on sale for $35.99) if you want to splurge on arguably the best. I switched to it from the Gan 562. The single track is also a great budget option.

I'll consider it though I'm definitely not gonna be able to buy it this week since my wallet is still suffering from the GAN16. For 42 dollars I can just use a discount code.

Get the vin if you want a ball core but keep in mind the color scheme is slightly duller with a noticeably darker orange side. Or use the infinite money glitch and get the gan.

I have the Warrior. It is AWESOME!

I have done around 650 solves on my Vin 5x5 and in that time I believe it has popped 4 times (very spectacularly, with a lot of the word EXPLOSION envolved, but still only 4 times), and I believe it is reeally good once broken in and loosened a bit

The aochuang single track is goated, I don’t think core mags on 5x5 is necessary so I would get that one. It’s also very light which makes it ideal for long sessions compared to the Vin and Gan

The Warrior is light weight AND has decent core. Unique in its own way, and could be modified. Sounds like we have different opinions, but @mdcuber9 highly recommended the Warrior to me...so I am really happy with it because it is still really good!

 

[Michael Wimberly]

So I did some more extensive research, and here's what I found.
The vin is okay, but it locks up/pops sometimes and has a similar internal plastic feel to their 4x4 v2, which I don't like.
So I think that now it's really up to the warrior and the aochuang, the warrior has more magnets and it's cheaper and has a more budget feel, and the aochuang has a better feel for a higher price.

I’m trying to decide right now between the Aochuang single track ($20) and the PiCube double track ($42). Any advice?

PiCube is definitely better yo

Id say the warrior, like so much cheaper, but out of the 2 given, you cant go wrong with picube.

That was a long time ago
Also a lot of people agree that the QiYi Warrior has replaced the Meilong.

Was in the same boat a few weeks ago! I decided on Aochuang and it's really great for a "budget" 5X5.
