Today
I have another review for you guys, this time, on the highly coveted Moyu
Aolong V2. This cube is the new glossy plastic version, and I won’t be coming
out with a review on the other plastic V2, because I think it’s a waste of time
and money. If you think otherwise, please comment below. The cube has some
small changes to make the cube more stable with less corner twists. My opinions
are varied, but you can read that below.
To start, this cube arrived out of
the box fast. I mean almost uncontrollably so. It was pretty crazy, but you
could tell it was easily fixed, since the tensions were about as loose as you
could go. I noticed one big thing that made me question even continuing a solve
on the cube. Its corner pieces had very sharp corners on the moving sides (the
ones not used for corner cutting, but on the same line.) These made the cube
feel smaller than its 57mm size and miserable to solve. I have plans right now
to sand those down to try and fix the issue.
As for stability and corner twists, the two
main problems of the V1? I can definitely that there is improvement. The
stability, on the extremely loose tensions, was about the same on a V1 Aolong
with medium tight ones. This is a huge improvement and bodes very well for it
becoming my main, if I can fix those edges. As for corner twists, I mentioned in
a previous blog how I don’t get twists, nearly ever, and so I can’t attest to
these, but I can say that the stability bodes well for better corner twists and
control.
Overall, I give this cube 7 out of
10. It is a good cube, with its new
found stability a great bonus, and I think many will like it. The speed allows
for medium to fast cubers to be able to handle it well. I hope to be able to enjoy
it as well; I just have to fix the issues the sharp corner bits produce. But I definitely
say buy this cube, especially if the V1 was good, but you want something with small
differences.
