Best Pyraminx

Ylm

Can someone recommend me a pyraminx that is stable, fast and with good magnets?

I have a WRM Maglev but this one is too flexible for my taste.
if you push a piece, the whole piece flexes first before turning the layer.

I have big problems doing fingertricks on the Pyraminx because of this

Tips as good as yuxin little magic M,
Speed of weilong non-maglev,
Stability of GAN Enhanced

"stability of GAN Enhanced" pfft what stability, it feels like the core is just one big noodly mess

oh by the way the mefferts pyraminx is the best one


(just kidding, it's the weilong pyra non-maglev)

Bell v2 is better than weilong. Weilong is unstable with very bad tips. Bell v2 is fast and stable with nice tips.

really? mine has some different settings and a bit of weight 5 and martian (using it at my next comp). i use spring compression 6, magnetic settings on the second strongest and tighten the screws a half turn from the factory, use the aforementioned lube setup plus some krytox 205g0 (switch lube, works just as well as something like dignitas) and all what-have-you. It's relatively stable.

I think the gan is too stable while the weilong is too flexible. Bell v2 is a nice balance in between. Tips are nice (only meilong and weilong tips are unusable tho)

Bell v2 or the yuxin little magic. I prefer the ylm, but the bell v2 is also very good. The ylm has cheaper plastic and can feel a bit slippery in the beginning, but I got used to it. I like the magnet strength in the ylm, but if you want to be able to change the magnet strength, you can get the bell. The tips of the two pyraminxes feel really similar and the tip magnet strength in both are adjustable. What I like about the ylm is that it corner cuts great and is quite fast, while still being relatively tight and very stable. Also, I like that the colors on the ylm are brighter than on the bell v2.

100% Agree. I just can’t really recommend ylm just because the quality control of later batches are very poor, like there are huge scratches everywhere (to a point where it feels different when you touch the scratches), and colour schemes are randomly changing (dull blue, dull yellow and bright red for later batches). I got like 4 ylm magnetic pyra just to combine a usable comp-legal ylm magnetic pyra. Bell v2 is the way to go if you’re not going to get replacement parts (colour scheme can be different) or multiple ylm pyraminxes.

I use the QiYi MS, but I added extra magnets in the edges and tips to make it more to my liking.

Scientifically speaking, if a person is like a pyraminx, they are shaped like a pyramid. So 'people like pyraminx' are pyramid people, and therefore ancient Egyptians. This is why I think pyraminx notation should officially change to hieroglyps.

One of my favorite forum posts.

I've polished my bell v2 pyra making it UV coated, and its my main over any other pyraminxes. good tips like ylm, smooth turning like the gan & weilong with reasonable speed (gan is too slow and weilong is just wayyy too fast for me who are just barely sub 10 on pyraminx). and the ylm is now my backup

 

[fdskljgrie]

from my experience with my friends bell v2 and gan m enhanced, both are uncontrollable (might just be the way he sets them up), and the bell v2 is also hard to hold, which makes it even worse. The weilong is fast, but after getting used to it for about 10 minutes it works perfectly fine. i haven't tried the ylm, but i've heard it's good.

Actually.... RS Pyraminx works really well for me. I traded a Weilong pyra for an RS pyra plus a Qiyi Thunderclap V3, and it actually performed better than my Weilong in the comp. Why isnt anyone talking about the RS Pyra?

Even though the RS pyra does not do insane corner cut like weilong, the weilong is just too flexible and unstable and also very heavy compared to the RS. Also the RS got normal tips instead of the weilong Rubbisk tips. I personally like the RS more than the weilong as it is already good ootb. However, I still love my main the bell v2 more

I got the bell v2, and after setting it up (slow lube on the tracks, fast lubes on the pieces, strong magnets on the pieces, and strong magnets on the tips (2/3 magnets)) it is very fast and controllable. It dropped my times by about 1.5 seconds (9.5 to 8) from a QiYi MS.
