I kinda want a new cube. Something that is solid and sturdy like my current main The Valk Elite but has better corner cutting.

I switched from my Valk Elite to the RS3M 2020. It's very stable, especially considering you can adjust the spring elasticity (I have mine on the second loosest setting and it's quite stable). The main difference between it and the Valk Elite is that it's faster

I have mine set up with green springs red magnets so the weak ones on the RS3M2020 won;t work for me at least at first.

I have the same settings on my valk elite as you do, but as long as you get the extra magnet sets from whatever store you buy from (I know that TC sells an extra set of magnets for the edges and the extra magnets come with the RS3M 2020 if you buy from speedcubing.org) and have your elasticity set at the lower settings it should be similar. You could even make your RS3M2020 "Elite" if you wanted to by adding magnets in the edges and centers like in the Valk Elite.

I'm not gonna do that cuz I already saw what happens if you try it

Ok, so I want to get back into cubing after approx. 2 years. I have a broken Gan Air SM so im looking for a 3x3, i've narrowed it down to two options. The Meilong M with the custom service from my country's online speed cubing shop and 2 types of lubes or the factory RS3M 2020 with the same two lubes. The prices of both are the same. I'm leaning towards the RS3M because of the compression system but i really don't know. Help?

 

[PetrusQuber]

Both will probably be really good, I’d lean towards the RS3M 2020 more though.
Welcome back

You should get the RS3M 2020, the Meilong is really good for the price, but the RS3M2020 is imo the best cube out there and it is just as cheap as the meilong.

You think the RS3M2020 is better than the WRM2020?

Idk, they seem about equal although I am leaning towards the WRM 2020 because I got it in stickered so I am not dropping it every 3 solves from frosted plastic and you can't get the rs3m 2020 in stickered.

[Nmile7300]

I would recommend the Meilong 3M if you like magnets with a slightly more pronounced tactility. The RS3M 2020 looks and feels almost exactly the same as the Meilong except its magnets are weaker, and you may not feel their impact very much.

It’s the second best squan I think

You can get extra magnets though

It’s definitely the best budget option there is. It’s decent, and you can make it even better with modding if you wanted to.

True. But modding is a pain, IMO, and can be avoided if you pick a cube that has decent magnet strength to begin with. After all, he's having it lubed for him so he doesn't have to right away. I get the impression that he wants it to feel good right out of the box, which I can relate to.

Umm, you don't mod it at all, you don't even need glue!
Just take apart the cube, and break divide the edges and corners, put the magnet on, and boom, done!

To my mind, if you have to break the pieces apart and add hardware, then that's modding. Regardless of what you choose to call it, I suspect that @AcuberCubes doesn't want to have to do it. Just a guess though.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Eh, I personally would spend the few minutes needed doing it
