Budget High-end 3x3 comparison

[Wish Lin]

I already have two.

Oh, of course. I mean “Anyone who see this post”. Haha!!

 

[AbsoRuud]

Yeah, I love this cube as well. I magnetized one and I am keeping the other one stock for now. I might get more. Looking to get the MeiLong 2 next. I already have the 4 and the 5. If I like the 2, then I will have MeiLong as my main for 2x2x2, 3x3x3 and 4x4x4.

What's your current 3x3 main?

What's your current 3x3 main?

Does that really have anything to do with the thread?

I'm just curious.

How about Meilong M?

Yes, I would consider it my main, but I still have the YLM M as sort of my other main. And I enjoy the YuLong V2 M and the Kylin V2 M as well that I like.

I finally got a Meilong yesterday and.......

Oh my god! It’s now my backup main(beside my main tengyun)! Also, it’s as cheap as dirt here in Taiwan. It only costs $1.

$1!

Wutttttttttttt?

I only added some DMN and it is so good and light! If anyone sees this post but doesn’t have a Meilong, buy it!

Will you magnetize your MeiLong 3x3?

 

[Wish Lin]

Will you magnetize your MeiLong 3x3?

Yup, and I will consider it as my backup main without doubt.

The magnets costs $4 though.

The cube itself is even cheaper than the magnets?!

Yes! How in the world? The main reason is just the Meilong is soooooooo cheap here. A guy in Taiwan bought 520 Meilong 3x3s to make mosaics.

I got my 4x2 N35 magnets off Aliexpress for 2 euros including shipping. They are a little strong though so I would recommend 4x1.5 N35 magnets instead, that should be the perfect strength.

Thanks!

What about 4*2 magnets in edges and 4*1.5 in corners?

That would be realy bad.

 

[AbsoRuud]

Why?

You would have super insane strong inner layer magnets and relatively weak outer layer ones. Just don't do it that way.

I already think 4x1,5 N35s in the inner layer is a bit strong.

I don't think 3x3 choice matters nowadays, you should focus more on cube maintenance because my friend's gan x feels pretty bad because he doesn't know how to properly lubricate and set up a cube.
Little magic is a solid cube though, my next choice would be the mf3 line

3x3 budget - MoYu MeiLong 3x3
3x3 great - Yuxin Little Magic M 3x3
3x3 expert - MoYu WeiLong GTS 3 M, MoYu WeiLong WR M, GAN 356 X

Should Yuxin Kylin v2 M or YJ YuLong v2 M be added to 3x3 budget?

 

[GAN 356 X]

Should Yuxin Kylin v2 M or YJ YuLong v2 M be added to 3x3 budget?

yj YuLong is great.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

yj YuLong is great.
