This is a great cube if your on a budget, but if you have the money I would recommend the Valk 3. It has most of the qualities of the Valk, just you can tell it is made cheaper and it doesn't perform as well. It will be my backup though.

My impressions over a couple of months with a stickerless version in the rotation:
Pros: Quite light and very fast. I've been trending towards a lighter turning style and it suits me in that regard. Best budget cube I've tried, hands down.
Cons: Somewhat catchy, not as predictably reliable under duress as my Valks or Thunderclaps
Neutral: Has a somewhat hollow, maybe "cheap" feel
Overall: Hard to find much fault for the price. I like to swap out cubes during practice/timing sessions for variety and it has remained in the rotation since I purchased it.

One of the best performing budget 3x3's on the market. It feels stable, and fast right out of the box. No setup required. I didn't even hear any spring noise. Corner cutting is the best I've seen in a cube under $10. Stickerless colors contrast very well. The pink looks really good, too.
Everyone needs to pick up at least one of these. I have a few. Why not? It's only 5 bucks!
I recommend it especially for beginners because it's fast, but also the corners don't accidentally twist in the middle of a solve.
However, the KungFu LongYuan is lighter and faster. Since the LongYuan can easily corner twist, I don't recommend it for beginners and it also requires setup to get rid of spring noise.
That's why I call the MF3RS the best budget 3x3 for beginners.

Got mine recently - must say, I'm extremely impressed! (In fact, I regret having ordered a Valk and Gan now!)
I also have a Warrior W on it's way to me - will be interesting to compare the two...

Pretty average compared to a lot of $15 cubes.

Yeah, that's the point. It's performance is typical of a $15 cube, but it costs less than $5.

It's $5 flat, not less then. I changed my vote to new main, because I think that it just became my OH main. I was using a GTS2 M and I switched to a $5 cube lol.

Yep, they're definitely decent. The broken in feel is much nicer than the out of box, as with a lot of cubes,

In Magiccubemall $1.79!!
I ordered 9 of them yesterday (+ a Valk). I really like them due to the stability they have. I needed more stable cubes to use in multi-blind, and with my unstable MF3:s and Guanlongs I'm afraid, all the time, that I make a mistake (that's why I'm lacking execution speed).
I've used MF3RS as my feet cube, since it just can't corner twist. It's not as flexible (-> corner cutting) as my Thunderclap, which is my current main. But Thunderclap corner twists a lot (I got tired of them when I got one in 2 consecutive blind solves and finally decided to get myself a Valk).

MCM is 3.55 (1.79 plus 1.76 shipping).
Lightake is 4.81 (3.08 plus 1.73 shipping.
The lowest I've found is 2.99 to 3.25 with Ebay auction, or 3.99 bin stickerless.
