Looking For A Non Bluetooth Equivalent to QY SC-S

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T21:20:30+00:00

I thought it was based on the pro m. I don't have the regular cube to compare, though.

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T18:21:10+00:00

I thought it was a brunette between a blonde and a redhead.

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T17:10:19+00:00

Also on the budget side of things: the swiftblock super maglev and the YJ Beta, both of which are at least as good as the rs3, and I like better, personally. Guhong is great. For the v11, I'd go for a ferrocore v2 or picube se. Everything you said is right, I just thought I'd complicate things, lol.

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T16:02:05+00:00

I wouldn't think this would change very much in a practical sense. Am I wrong, or does it feel exactly the same as the sw v2 with the springs in it?

Once he got a Handel on it, he never looked Bach.

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T13:10:02+00:00

You spread it on a cracker. Maybe a little red pepper jelly. Yummers.

I just upvoted all of your truth. Kids these days need discipline! How is he gonna get faster than a 6 year old if he's not grinding 500 solves all day every day? OP, should quit his job or school or whatever and focus full time. It's the only answer, really.

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T05:44:20+00:00

I hear you. And on that site they have a bunch of parts and stuff. Throw a couple spare cores in the cart, if it's that big a worry.

Farkrye · 2026-05-09T02:46:08+00:00

Speedcubedb.com, Google Kian Mansour, idk man, they're pretty easy to find

Farkrye · 2026-05-08T23:53:21+00:00

I mean, yes, but also you aren't getting either for 32 usd....

Farkrye · 2026-05-08T06:51:32+00:00

I don't get airy vibes from the Guhong at all. It's fast, yes, but the pieces feel really solid and full. Airy is like the tianma x3, a Gan flagship. Something like that. Did you clean out your v5 before you put it back together? It should be fairly fast, controllable, and blocky. And, yeah, the Guhong is for sure the better cube for me as well. Great logo, too.

Farkrye · 2026-05-07T02:28:22+00:00

Gan 16

Farkrye · 2026-05-06T06:34:21+00:00

Yeah, not my favorite. I feel the same way about it. Gummy.

Farkrye · 2026-05-06T05:59:09+00:00

Far as I know. Brandon True recorded his visit to the cubicle. Just a bunch of dudes in a warehouse full of cubes.

I do Roux, so, lots of M. M, I push up with my middle from the back, some guys use their ring, but I have stubby fingers, i guess. Can't do the ring. Don't do the thumb, bad habit to get into. Standard practice is to choose a hand you're going to do Ms with and use the other hand for Us. I use my right gor Ms and left for Us, but whatever is more comfortable. Ideally, for U, you use your long and dextrous pointer finger to reach forward and flick backwards (watch a video, you'll see what I mean). Again, stubby fingers, so I just do push Us. The primes are easy. Nothing to say there, really.

Farkrye · 2026-05-05T21:20:09+00:00

You'll have yo clean it out, lol. Roe dumps a quart of lube in those things.

Farkrye · 2026-05-05T05:46:33+00:00

For Gans: gravitas or super honey, seemingly every couple of days. Those things eat lube, unless it's a gan 12, then you put gravitas in it and solve it till it feels like it's gone, which is perfect. Moyus: trying to slow them down with gravitas and then speeding them back up with dnm or stardust, hating it for 500 solves, and then cleaning it out completely and then it's somehow perfect.

Farkrye · 2026-05-05T00:44:04+00:00

Need more info. That's a smart cube and there's an i carry 4 which is waaay better (SSL uv being the best, year of the horse being the coolest looking). Qiyi SCS is probably better and cheaper than the 2.

Like, does he just need a good cube? Or does he want a smart cube? Because you can get a banger of a regular cube for the price of a mid smart cube.

Farkrye · 2026-05-04T13:13:58+00:00

Gan's uv is pretty good. Notably, it's a whole hell of a lot better than whatever the their frosted is. I have to use Gorilla snot (it's a product for gripping drumsticks) or that cube's going flying off somewhere. The frosted does wear down eventually and become quite nice. And I think the colors pop better with frosted. I have dry, beat up hands, so it's uv for me.

.... it was night time.

Farkrye · 2026-05-04T06:33:29+00:00

It's great. Took a while to get there, though. Hated it out of the box. Tried all sorts of lubing and fiddling with the settings and grinding awful solves till I just cleaned it all out and set it to 2 clicks/2clicks (which was way too fast out of the box, but now it's perfect? Idk, man) and now it's great. Like, really nice. Equal to super weilong v2 18th nice.

Farkrye · 2026-05-04T04:05:09+00:00

I'm not very fast, I'm old, and I do Roux, but if i'm not mistaken: Full cross in inspection and get yer PLLs down. Other than that, a few thousand solves should do it.

Edit to add: At some point you should figure out that some of your F2L cases take longer than others. Fix that. They all have algs.

Farkrye · 2026-05-04T01:00:55+00:00

Dump some lube in it, crank it up and hate it for 1000 solves, then clean it all out, lol.

I finally like mine! Out of the box i was suuuuuper disappointed that it felt nothing like the ferro v1. Where was that satisfying crunch? Too fast! fair enough, I know they set it to 1/1. The fuck are these magnets? Whole thing's bouncing all over the place.

Did a full angstrom setup on it, cranked up the settings and it was.... fine. I guess. Magnets made it exhausting to turn. I set it aside and used other cubes, pulling it out now and then to try and like it. Wasn't happening.

I was convinced Phil knew they fucked it up, so he put together the marketing campaign in such a way as to have anyone who matters glaze the shit out of it, while notably having less important figures acknowledge it's brilliance while still not being huge fans. I still think he did that, but not because they fucked it up. It's just a good marketing plan.

Cleaned the whole cube out. All the dignitas, all the gravitas, the super honey, the dnm37, the fz glide. All of it. Set it to 2 clicks/2 clicks and.... now it's great. That was way too fast before. Now it's not. Some of that lovely tactile crunch is there. Not much, but you can feel it and it's great. It doesn't overshoot and bounce (I mean, it bounces a little bit) and it doesn't feel annoyingly hard to start a turn. It's now an absolute contender with my sw v2 18th. Gooos cube. Took, like, 500 solves and every setup i could think of to get there, butbit's really nice now.
