I totally agree with Dayan and YuHu, but what happened to the Galaxy? Is it outdated now because I remember just 10ish months ago, everyone was talking about it.

 

[ruffleduck]

what happened to the Galaxy?

It's still a good cube, but it got overshadowed by the faster, lighter Dayan V2 (same price) and the cheap, good-performing Yuhu V2. ($13)

GAN 251M PRO LEAP

GAN 251M PRO

GAN 251 AIR

MGC 2 ELITE

MGC 2

GAN 249M

Valk 2M

Feel free to choose!

 

[povlhp]

MGC Elite is the best I have. But Tengyun 2x2 V2 will arrive soon

 

[Eli Apperson]

There is no valk option...

 

[SH03L4C3]

MGC Elite is the best I have. But Tengyun 2x2 V2 will arrive soon

Im afraid it will be a big miss like the zanchi pro m

well unlike the zhanchi pro m it appears that this cube actually features new stuff like a different magnet placement as well as a spring compression system while the zhanchi pro m was just a copy of a good release with barely any changes.

I actually only have the DaYan Tengyun 2x2, but I’ve tried a lot of them and will put a list here:

1: MGC Elite
2: Valk 2M
3: DaYan Tengyun 2x2
4: X-Man Flare
5: QiYi MS

Poll: your main 2x2

Now with more choices and a poll that doesn't expire. Let me know in the comments if you have a choice that's not on the poll. Here's my noob 2x2 solver review of the 2x2s I own: Little magic: Lightweight and actually pretty good for a budget cube. Plastic feels thin and the puzzle creaks...

All magnetic megaminxes I could find. I'm more interested in the quality than the price. From newest to oldest.

the dayan is the bst without exception
if u consider cost then the yuhu v2

 

[BMcD308]

Is the Dayan the larger YJ MGC size or the smaller X-Man size (these are the only two I have, and the cube stores don't list the size on megaminx listings).

Smaller. It’s around the xman V2 size.

Sad Gan they have 0 votes. I thought they would get 2nd after Dayan...

They are said to be a letdown to some cubers. Especially the "non-cubic" puzzles. I guess other manufacturers have equally good cubes and there's no dominating"high quality", even for GAN.

 

[Kaiju_cube]

The Gan mega is exceptional. However it's very expensive and doesn't bring anything to the table that the Dayan doesn't bring for half the price.

WRM 2021 Lite or Tengyun v1

I need a new cube cause i sorta stuffed my yuxin little magic up by putting 4 x 2 n42 magnets in there, they are way too strong. I have narrowed it down to these two cubes, I have never tried any other cubes really besides an 11 m pro which I really did not like so I dont really know what I am looking for in a cube.
I am not too keen on all these "dual adjustment" or whatever because i think it can be a bit confusing however I can agree it is a nice feature.
Any thoughts on which one I should buy or any other options. Also what lubes can I buy which will compliment the turning and enhance performance of these two cubes.

Thanks

you will probably be better off with wrm 2021 lite as a main cube. Even though tengyun v1 is more satisfying, actual performance wise wrm 2021 lite is better.

 

[EvanCuber]

Get the Mystic WR M 2021. Best cube ever.

 

[HD Truong Giang]

Thanks a lot, I'll go for the YJ MGC 2x2 Elite.

 

[SH03L4C3]

Get the Mystic WR M 2021. Best cube ever.

For that much extra you can actually get the lubes needed and do it yourself multiple times
