My mains:

3x3 2H: Gans SM
3x3 OH: Gans SM
4x4: Debating Wuque M or Aosu GTS M. (I like the feel on the Aosu.)
5x5: Wushuang M.
6x6: Yuxin Red Spring Swapped with 5x5 springs, I'll also use a Wuhua v1. I'm more confident in the Red.
7x7: Yuxin Huanglong

I'd use higher order magnetics if I did them more often or was faster. I don't care about 2x2 enough to have a main .

I'll definitely check those out, thanks

What do you already have?

6x6 is a chore to magnetize, but if you don't mind spending the money or time it probably benefits most from magnets. My mains:
2x2: Lingpo (maybe 12 solves every week? Not much.)
3x3: Warrior W M
4x4: Choosing between Wuque M and Yuxin Blue M
5x5: Yuxin M
6x6: Cyclone Boys G6 M
7x7: Qiyi Wuji M (I have the cube and magnets, and just sold my former main. Gotta get glueing.)
Megaminx: Yuxin, but I hear the Auhun can take magnets, so I might give it a shot.

[Dude Blu]

But ive heard people say v1 is better....and yeah a lotta youtubers praise the mf3rs over thunderclap...idk i am confused

 

[shadowslice e]

What're your budget(s)?

 

[joshsailscga]

I still use the thunderclap v1 as my main (then again, it might be because I haven't bought a 3x3 since it came out). I have heard good things about the MF3RS2 and the Magic, though.

 

[Spock loves cubing]

The MF3RS2 is a cheaped out version of the Thunderclap V2 and has a very weird feeling to it. I would not recommend it.

 

[Dude Blu]

What're your budget(s)?

I would go at most 10$

 

[Spock loves cubing]

You could also try the Little Magic, especially the stickerless one.

 

[Competition Cuber]

I want to buy some new WCA cubes, but I'm not sure what ones I should get. Any suggestions?

I have Yuxin little magic, gan 356 air sm, weilong gts2, mf3rs2, yj guanfu 7x7, weipo 2x2, galaxy megaminx, moyu magnetic skewb, wingy skewb, thunderclap mini4x4, and bell pyraminx

Bolded the best cubes that you listed

I’ve tried a whole bunch of new releases at comps, looked at reviews, and searched stores. I can’t seem to find a 3x3 for my style. My main rn is a YAN3 on tight tensions, and I like it. But it doesn’t work well enough. I can’t seem to set it up right. Whenever I solve, there is inconsistency in stability. Any suggestions?
Edit: Really sorry about the post, I'm kinda new to this website.

Stability is really important to me too. The only thing that has really worked for me is magnets. Currently my main is a Gan Air SM on tight tensions and it's by far the best cube I've ever used. If magnetic cubes are outside your budget, buying a set of magnets and glue and making a DIY magnetic cube is a fun (and cheap) project.

If you are against using a magnetic cube, the only non-magnetic puzzle I've enjoyed lately is the Valk. On slightly tight tensions with some fast lube it is really stable, if almost blocky, but I really loved it.

What don't you like about the MF3RS2, it is very controllable and with lubicle one can be turned at almost whatever speed you want.
Note: I average 14 with the gts2m and 13 with the MF3RS2 so I guess I'm weird.

I don't know if it's just mine, but my MF3RS2 has a strange and unpleasant feeling to it. It's hard to describe, but I'll try. It almost feels like the plastic was very soft and would collapse on itself. Almost like a marshmallow. It sounds very weird but it's the best description I can come up with.

My MF3RS2 feels completely different, actually quite hard plastic so you may have got a bad one.

I would go at most 10$

I have a magnetic MF3RS I would sell for $10 + shipping. Also have a magnetic Z-Cube that's basically a GTS2 clone that I would sell for $10 shipped.

 

[greentgoatgal]

Opinions on the best cube for OH?

Opinions on the best cube for OH?

I have a weird preference and ain't that fast but I use a Weilong GTS.
