My twisty puzzle collection!

(a fifth of it, at least)

This photo contains 17 of my 22 newest twisty puzzles (a.k.a. cubes). It's the most expensive section of my collection, as you can tell, with the many GAN flagship cubes, as well as the $110 DianSheng Galaxy 10x10, one of my favorites!

If you're curious about the name of anything shown, or have another question, ask me and I'll answer.

My favorite cubes visible in this pic are the GAN16 MagLev MAX UV 3x3 and the UV-coated GAN562 M 5x5.

7 New Cubes!

A package of 7 cubes and cuboids arrived today! This brings my collection up to 83 twisty puzzles!

Here's what I got:

• YJ YuLong 3x3 V3 M (UV Coated + Clicky) [$8] • 1x1 Cube 25mm [$3.50] • QiYi 2x2x3 [$7] • QiYi 3x3x2 [$7] • FanXin 3x3x4 Cuboid [$7] • GAN330 Keychain Cube 3x3 [$7] • GAN356 ME V2 3x3 (UV Coated) [$27]

I am so ridiculously happy with these new cubes. I am mildly intimidated by the 3x3x4 cuboid but it's still so cool!! And the 1x1 is hilarious.

Let me know what your favorite puzzle from this order is. Mine is the GAN356 ME V2; it is very high quality, especially for its price, especially for GAN.

GAN460M V2 4x4 vs MoYu AoSu V7 4x4

After many hours of adjusting both cubes, and many frustrating solves, I have decided which 4x4 is better for me. And the answer is...

GAN460M V2!

I'm sorry; I have tried; I have poured hours upon hours, lube after lube into the MoYu AoSu V7 4x4 Triple-Track and it was still...not good. It was slow! It was unpleasant to turn! Why? Why can't my fastest lube save this cube? It's supposed to be the best, yet I prefer the Double-Track version; that's supposed to be the second best, yet I prefer the GAN460M V2.

The GAN460M V2 is notorious for its poor performance, the lack of corner cutting, the catchy outer layers; It's not a forgiving cube. It gives me a hard time. As for the feel, however, I'm embarrassed to admit it: I can't get enough of this cube. It is so satisfying to turn, to grip, to look at. The colors are much more vibrant, the pieces much more rounded. The small amount of factory lube was all I needed, no extra set-up. And lastly, the slightly bigger size, 60mm, is better for my larger hands than the 58mm AoSu V7 is.

I'm fully aware that this decision reflects my needs and nobody else's. Handfeel matters more to me than it does to most, and I have a certain fixation on the handfeel of GAN cubes. I still recommend the MoYu AoSu V7 4x4 if you're on a budget or simply don't have accurate turning.
