So I'm buying a xinghen from www.speedcube.co.nz and I was just wondering if it was any good? My favourite cube is the valk 3 so I'm wondering if the xinghen is anything like it.

Xinghen is my favorite 2x2 still and I absolutely love the Valk 3 but they aren't really alike. The Xinghen has buttery plastic and an overall soft and springy turning feel, whereas my Valks have always felt hard, clacky, and dense.

MF3RS2, absolutely no question.

The Thunderclap V1 was like the last good cube from the "Aolong era". It held its own against the Aolong, Hualong, Meiying, etc. but IMO it's just not good when compared to today's designs. The MF3RS2 is going to outperform it in almost every way. The only way I can recommend it is if you just have to have that round, springy, "bubbly" cubie feel.
 
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and was wondering what cube I should get. I currently have an mf3rs, an mf3rs2 (which I bring to school every day), and a gts2m which I don't feel comfortable taking to schoool because I've heard that the magnets are prone to falling off. If I get a new cube what should it be? I'm looking for a slightly more stable cube, and was thinking of getting a valk 3, valk power, or a gan 356 air sm. What do you recommend?

Edit: spelling error, as 1001010101001 noticed

If you want a stable cube, get the Valk Power.
Also what is Gan 356 sir? Do you mean Gan Air?
 
There seems to be some sort of controversy over this. Even many top-end Qiyi-sponsored speedcubers are saying there's barely a difference between the 2 cubes.

I don't think there's (much) difference in performance, but I prefer the feel of the Power quite a bit!
 
They are completely different puzzles to me despite calling the newer one "2". The MF3RS2 definitely "tracks" and turns better for me with the guide collar around the centers but it's also more expensive.
 
Umm... whoever moved my thread here, I didn't ask for the cube I should get, I was just asking out of curiosity.

Anyway, since this is here, and the poll disappeared....

This forum seems to be very strictly ordered. If you ask a question that correlates to the topic of another larger thread, your thread will get moved. Whether you like it or not.
 
I'm beginning to learn to solve a 3x3, but i have a crap cube. I need a cube that is budget-friendly and that is pretty good.
