Interesting and in-depth post about current mid-range cubes. TL;DR - MGC Beta and Z cube Tianma are the top recommendations.

Got my Tornado v4 the other day, and the next night, I sat on the case and it broke! Be careful where you put your case whilst using your cub, ut the cube is incredible and recommended!

Should I get a Luke's RS3m?

nah, just get the normal rs3mv5 if you really like that cube. I would personally recommend an xt3-v1 over it tho

I tried it at a comp and I really liked it tho

well, it's just a lubed rs3m. same with all other youtuber or top cuber's cubes. Just get the original, as I can guarantee that the person who's cube you tried either relubed it, or they've used it long enough for the lube to have changed feeling.

Okay, did they fix the core breaking issue of the Tornado V3 and V4 with the XT3V1? If so, I am going to plan on getting an XT3, should I get the flagship or the pioneer? I have a feeling that they are practically the same cube, so I wanna get the flagship because it is cheaper

Actually, I don't think I should get a tornado because I am scared of tornadoes

A very good budget cube is the QiYi M Pro V2. For just $9.99, it is a very good beginner cube, and also has piece to piece magnetization. If you are willing to spend $15.99, the Pioneer UV version, which I recommend for intermediate to advanced cubers, has maglev, a magnetic core, and UV coating.

My tornado V3 case broke when I opened it just a couple of weeks after I got it. I guess the tornado cases aren’t that good. But otherwise an amazing cube

Good review, but 2x2s don't have maglev

Tornados are really fragile cubes. Many of my friends tornados have loose magnets and needed spare pieces bought. I find MoYu & even GAN cubes more durable.

QiYi M Pro V2 3x3 (Pioneer UV)
The QiYi M Pro V2 3x3 is a budget-friendly magnetic 3x3. This puzzle has tension (screw) and compression adjustment, and piece-to-piece magnetization.This is the Pioneer version, which has a UV coating that can aid with grip. It also gives the puzzle a glossy finish that we think looks really nice!

Yeah, the corner magnets keep falling out on mine and I keep having to take out the caps and put the magnets back in place. I’ll probably have to glue them in.
