Definitely MGC 7x7 from what I’ve heard. PS next time maybe post in a mega thread to avoid cluttering

I don't own a 7x7 but from what i've heard the MGC 7x7 is better

x man spark is better but its expensive. If you are on a budget MGC 7x7 is better
edit: nvm i checked the reviews and people like MGC 7X7 better.

 

[Tabe]

The MGC is better.

My current 3x3 main is the MF3RS2 (without magnets) and I'm looking into buying a new one. Highest on my list right now is the RS3 2020 and I've heard great things. I'm just wondering if it's worth the purchase for a magnetic cube. This is my first proper post on the forums so I'd love some feedback. Thanks!

Second, I’ve heard that the RS3M 2020 is very good, but if you have a higher budget, you could get a “better” cube. So how much do you have to spend? Lastly, I would say that an upgrade to a magnetic cube is a for-sure yes. At almost any speed, a magnetic cube will make you at least a little bit faster.

Absolutely RS3M2020. It is the best cube on the market. Paying more money will not get you a better cube.

i don't really have an exact price range (well, less than $30) but I'm looking for the best value for the lowest price. The cube I had high on my list before the RS3 came out was the YJ MGC. If i do buy a new cube, it will be one of those.

That’s why I put quotes around better. If they want a very customizable cube, then they will have to pay extra money.

The YJ MGC is quite old, many cubes are better than it. good job on changing to the RS3M

Please I need these recommendations:

Good budget 3x3 for 2H

Good budget 3x3 for OH
(I solve between 35~50 secs with my YJMGC V2 M, want to solve sub30 avg, I barely practice because my hand hurts)

Nice budget 4x4 with good turning just for the sake of having one 4x4

2H: Meilong M or RS3 M 2020
OH: I really like the RS3 for OH as well, but if you want a smaller cube, GuHong V3
4x4: Meilong M or YuSu V2 M if you want a bigger cube

I like the guhong v3 for oh and 2 hand, i love my little magic m 4x4, although people will tell you it sucks.

RS3M or Meilong M for 2H(9 and 7 USD). If you have more money, the WRM 2020 is my favorite.
For OH I just use the same cube as 2H, but If you want a really tiny cube, the Zhilong M is available for pre-order

The meilong M 4x4 is the cheapest Magnetic 4x4, and is very nice to turn after loosening. The Qiyi Ms is also good, I assume. But if you just want a dirt-cheap 4x4, the meilong non-magnetic is smooth and cheap.

My favorite budget cubes from 2x2 to 5x5 are the Moyu Meilong 2M through 5M line. They never cease to please me whenever I pick them up.

I recommend rs3m 2020 for oh and 2h, a good 4x4 is the meilong m

If you use a Qiyi Sail W that locks up a lot, how much better would the GAN 356 M be for a cuber that needs little lock-ups.?

the 356 M is a budget version of the 356 X. It will be extremely good, but its sort of old now. For the Same price, a WRM 2020 would perform better IMO. BUt an angstrom RS3M 2020 + can be bought for the same price, and it is probably better. BUt yes, literally any magnetic modern speedcube will be a big step up from a sail.

Thank's for the tip.
