I was referring to the problem with the The Valk The Valk 3 Elite m 3x3 stickerless speedcube having a problem with the corner caps continuously coming off.
All VE's have that problem and I wouldn't call it "notorious", just annoying. I mained the VE because it was my first flagship 3x3 and I really enjoyed it (and I felt guilty using an $8 3x3 when I had a $45 laying around). Eventually I gave the MS another shot and began to enjoy it more and more until it became my favorite 3x3 and I started getting the best results on it.
In addition, I also had an RS3M2020/+ a Meilong 3m, a Qiyi Sail (Serious main contender, such good), a 50mm Moyu cube that I can't be bothered to find the name of, a Rubiks (good rubrics) and formally a Yulong.
I just flat out like the MS better, it's an amazing cube. The VE's cap issue doesn't affect times and it only happens when you set the cube down to hard or turn very rough.
What are you talking about?
