Moyu Super RS3M Magnetic

[OreKehStrah]

Has any cube company just released a renamed replica of an old cube before? I'd imagine it would be figured out very quickly and be quite a loss to their public image.
Also, @Kaiju_cube literally says 'idk'(if any of the piece designs have been changed or if the Maglev and mag core were the only things added) right before assuming that the latter is true.
And just nitpicking, but pls don't use 'relatively' when it is not needed

Yes. The 20 to 21 RS3M just replaced springs for magnets iirc.

also I expect the cube to be relatively the same in term of performance compared to a modded CH one. The only thing I expect is a larger magnet radius given the 30 degree claim.

it's funny when speculation is a hard concept for some to grasp.

"How dare you speculate and voice your opinion!"

The thing with this whole thing is GAN has done this for many years and nobody really cared, because back then you had many other brands that didn’t do this. What we have seen over the past couple of years is that because other companies want to compete in the same market, they up their product quality. Like what we have seen with phones, cube sales will start to fall as they are becoming more expensive and piled on with features. Still feel sorry for all those parents whose kids are so demanding for new cubes and they build a huge collection. This ‘cutting edge technology’ from moyu is debuting in a budget cube series, which seems wrong and unnecessary given you can make a magnetic core which is much less bulky and as a result weighs less. They think they’re being so smart but their revenue wont increase due to price increases. It has also caught me by surprise as even recently moyu were very economical in cutting packaging and also with the rs3

A debate came up on a GAN thread recently about the lack of innovation between each new GAN flagship cube. Those arguing very strongly for that case should now look at Moyu with the same glasses. There is no innovation in the Super RS3. Moyu are now just doing what TheCubicle has been doing with the RS3M for a year already. While I do think it is the way to go ITO hardware and what helps make a cube better, it seems that Moyu just copied what was being done already. The ball core is a hack IMO, it works, but it's still a hack.

The weights of this cube are 79, 84 and 90 grams for the regular, maglev and ball core versions.

As I've said in a post in the Gan thread, cubing hardware has kind of already reached its plateau (for 3x3). Sure, there are more things to add, and they put it in their advertisements to make it appealing to people, but it doesn't make a big difference in terms of speed and feel.

You are right that there are no big differences, but there are subtle ones which mean more to some than others. I'd expect Moyu to work a little harder to find something new to do though. What that would be I have no idea as I'm not a designer. So I just wait in anticipation as a consumer

Cubes are turning into a consumable items, sometimes expensive consumable items, with new releases each year. Do you need them, no ... but we want them. This is not necessarily bad because that drives innovation. I'm always interested to see what manufacturers are coming up with next which is exciting in the cubing space.
