Grungemeister Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I've just now really started to get into solving puzzles (especially Rubik's cubes) and I've decided that I actually want to buy a speedcube. I'm trying to decide what I want in a cube, but I can't find one that matches the requirements that I need. Basically, what I want in a cube is:Good corner-cuttingSnappy feelResponsiveNot overly loose and/or smoothSo at the moment, I'm leaning towards the Fangshi Shuang Ren, based on what I've heard from reviews etc. Is this a good first speedcube, and does it match my needs? Also, as a side thing, what's a good 2x2? There I'm leaning towards the LanLan. EDIT: I was also looking at the Shengshou Aurora. Is this cube also pretty snappy and tight? From what I've heard, it's pretty smooth, but still controllable.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I wasn't really aware that there were different kinds of Rubik's Cubes, nor did I know that was how you spelt Rubik's. I now wonder, who is this Rubik?

I will check out the ones you are looking at as well. Thanks for sharing!

Infrared Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Haha, I know I guy who's really into speed cubing. I think his favorite is a Dayan ZhanChi 3x3x3 6-Color Stickerless Speed Cube. I've played around with it before, it's crazy smooth. Quote Helryx BS01 / Flickr Makuta, Master of Nothing (The Legend Continues) / 3D Printed Nuva Cube / Okoto font!

It's a little too smooth and quick for my taste, though.
