Valk elite.

Thank you

Gan 356 XS or Valk elite M

Which one would you recommend?

 

[Mischiiii]

Which one would you recommend?

i would go for the XS. As more people like it. I can’t really decide.The XS is easy to customize and very fast. The Valk Elite is very stable on the otherhand. Depends on personal preference but i think more people would prefer the XS

Dayan Tengyun, cheaper than those and better in my opinion.

@Crusader007 if you like a really, really quiet, soft and fast cube, then Tengyun will be your best choice.

Tengyun is my main so I say all this, but of course, the 356 XS mentioned above is a better option for a “cube everyone would like”.

The tengyun is good if you can't setup cubes.

The Valk Elite is really good, If you want something cheaper, definitely get the GTS2M. I have them both and they're AMAZING!

I like the Cubicle labs MF3RS2M or the Valk 3 M as cheap options.

Why don't you try the GAN XS, it is a cube that nobody dislikes.

I dislike the ganxs because of the light feel. It just feels weird and cheap in my hands. I much prefer the gan x when set up well

So I'm trying to wrap my head around some things before I buy a black Gan cube...

If I'm understanding correctly, the X V2 is just an X with the all-plastic core and tensioning system of the XS? So it has the same piece design as the X but with only this change? And of course the matte finish.

I am planning to get a new megaminx.
Through research, I have decided to get an XMD Galaxy V2 M Sculpted

Would you recommend the Standard Size or the Large Size for the XMD Galaxy V2 M Megaminx?

If you have an opinion, why?

Thanks for the help.

 

[Tabe]

Large. Not just because of the size but it's faster.

 

[Parity Nightmare]

Large. Not just because of the size but it's faster.

Really? It's faster?!

I've been looking at getting either the Gan 356 x numerical ipg or ipg v5, and I don't know which is better.

I've been looking at getting either the Gan 356 x numerical ipg or ipg v5, and I don't know which is better.

They only have different tensioning options; numerical ipg has only 3 settings but it is easier (without a tool) and tensions will be the same on all the sides while ipg5 takes longer but you can have whatever tension you want using the gan tool.
You have to decide what you think is "better".
