WitEden Type C V WitYou - Version 2

[BrainOfSweden]

Apparently, WitEden is making a version 2 of the C V, also known as WitYou.

They are selling prototypes on their website for $11.50, only four remaining. http://www.witeden.com/goods.php?id=500

Oooooooh, I hate my v1, perhaps this can be good.

 

[BrainOfSweden]

Yeah, I was so disapointed in the WitLong that I didn't even consider the WitYou. But this one doesn't look that bad.

Not too many changes for me.
Slightly different tracks on the pieces from what I can see on video and photos.

 

[Michael Womack]

Shouldn't this really be the WitEden Type C6?

 

[CubezUBR]

No because its a v2 of a old cube, like lingyun v2, or gans 3 v2

TBH I don't see much difference. Still looks locky and a tad slow.
I hope to be proven wrong. I mean with the huge difference between the Sulong and the Chilong I don't know anymore.

Hey guys I know it's a bit late but apparently the prototype was decent:

Any news on this thing?

Non-prototype is listed on their site: http://www.witeden.com/category.php?id=53

They've got it on a lot of the Chinese shops too, Icebay, HKNowstore, SeattlePuzzles.

Anyone ordered it yet?

I'm tempted, as always, but not super enthusiastic as the WitLong was so awful. The center plates were the problem there, and as far as I can see, the only difference here is that the plates don't rotate freely.

 

[Lchu613]

Actually that came out too on the WitYou, the original one. And according to Phil (whom I trust) it's nothing like the Wityout, which means it shouldn't be all that much like the WitLong (which most agree, neither was that great).
So we basically know it's not much like a few bad cubes we know of.

And about the center plate problem, apparently there wasn't much problem with those on the Wityou v1 with the locked plates. Although I'm guessing you could fix that with a bit of sandpaper.


Although I have overdone my cube quota for the next 5 years already. Marcel? XD

Yep, I didn't buy that, for the same reason. I just can't see how they wouldn't catch on reverse cutting or any kind of misalignment. It's just a weird design. Maybe if I'm bored I'll experiment with one and take some sandpaper to it.

Phil's review does identify catching as an issue, even though the feel is different to the v1.

What I got from his various videos on these cubes was that the Witlong had catching problems, and the prototype Wityou v2 had catching problems, but the Wityout v1 didn't. Which is kind of odd. But he has the overview of the original Wityou and it doesn't catch much.

It will be interesting to compare this to the BaiJie.

 

[MarcelP]

stuff.... BaiJie.

Yeah.. BaiJie.. I WANT that one

 

[Lchu613]

Yeah.. BaiJie.. I WANT that one

Indeed. I'm just waiting for this really. Looks so good.

 

[WitEden]

WitYou V2 has on market （official version)

WitYou V2 （official version) is of course much better than prevoious. The v2 is fast and smooth,Very stable, has a strong cut corner!

Any performance videos? Or are you going to recruit testers?
