It's decided then, I'll buy the XMD Flare. Really like its texture based on what I see in photos. Price seems pretty reasonable too. I've always wanted to try out a magnetic Qiyi lol

After nearly 6 months, I finally got it! May or may not post some pictures later.
Quick review: turning is pretty smooth when fast, but when turned slowly it's a bit clunky. Some lube should fix it though. The magnets are at a strength I like too, I'm using it on strongest magnets.

My right index finger is a bit wonky rn so I can't do any solves. I might do an in depth review after doing some solves over the next week

Thinking about getting a YS3M, any thoughts?

If you don't like blocky cubes you might want to change the purple nuts inside for the blue ones on older moyu cubes e.g. rs3m 2020 and any other moyu cube older than the rs3m super

Got the YS3M, it was about 18 bucks
I have it on loosest settings rn, and my turning is much more faster without lockups (feel like I might even get to sub10.5 again), its gonna be my main. Overall I like the texture as well, it doesnt make the surface oily (cuz I have allergies so I need to put on a lot of moisturing cream all the time) unlike the UV coated versions.

Also still grinding minesweeper for a sub100 expert map, current pb is 108

Hey guys, I'm making a comeback to cubing!! (good timing too, right at the start of a new year)

I just finished my exams today, and winter vacation is starting. Hoping to get back to cubing more during the holidays, and also learning some new stuff!

Here is a really good ao12 I got while grinding today:

What's a good split for cross + F2L and a good split for LL for consistent sub-10 averages? My goal for the winter vacation is to reach sub-10.
