If it helps, I would prefer a faster cube with strong magnets.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Well definitely not MGC I’d say.
I’m still putting on Valk 3 M or Tengyun V2

 

[Cubingcubecuber]

I’d say get the Valk 3 M

 

[Spacey10]

Get the Vlak, by a long shot

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

you two have just completely contradicted each other

That’s because so much of cube feeling and preference is subjective.

If it helps, I would prefer a faster cube with strong magnets.

The MGC3Elite does NOT have strong magnets, too light for its speed IMO. It’s definitely out if a strong magnetic feel is a primary concern of yours. I haven’t tried the Tengyun V2 but the valk 3M seems to fit the bill however it doesn’t have a fancy tensioning system is thats important to you.

 

[cuber314159]

The DaYan tengyun v2M does have a strong magnet option, I have it on the weakest setting and there are 3 so I assume the strongest is quite strong.
The weilong WRM 2020 is also a nice option but doesn't come with any options when it comes to magnet strength, the magnets are medium strength.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

I heard the valk is quite slow, or was that the old version?

Autocorrect at it’s finest.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

yes

 

[Cubingcubecuber]

The Valk is plenty fast, it is controllable because it isn’t floppy

 

[N's-cvt]

I never coud understand the appeal of the valk, I thnik it's customization comes from what the cuber can do on it so a fast turner would probably enjoy it more than a slow turner, similiar to how magnet strengh can feel strong when slow turning but then can't feel them when turning fast.

where would the wuwei, gts2 m and yuexiao edm fit in to the ranks?

 

[cuber314159]

where would the wuwei, gts2 m and yuexiao edm fit in to the ranks?

wuwei M is just overly stable and slow, really strange feeling, gts2m has basically been outperformed by the weilong WRM and weilong WRM 2020 getting it now is basically pointless, yeuxiao EDM is not available in stickerless so I can't make a good review of it.

 

[N's-cvt]

EDM, I personally like it but I have better cubes that I use

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

One more I'll add, GTS3M

 

[PetrusQuber]

One more I'll add, GTS3M

Honestly, just get the Tengyun V2 imo. Or the Valk 3M.
Unless you want to splash out on stuff like a WRM 2020, Valk Elite, etc

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

I'll probably get the valk with some of that polski lube

 

[N's-cvt]

what is polski lube

 

[Spacey10]

what is polski lube

It's a third party(?) lube that some people want to sell, so they're doing it through stores. The Cubicle has it and so does speedcubing.org @cuber314159

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

polski means Polish (from Poland) I'm referring to some Polish lube that Petrus tested in a video of his.
