Are any of the GES v2 nuts quieter than the others when turning with the Gan SM? If not, what's a good 3x3 that's really quiet even when turning quickly?

gan air (regular or SM- the Ultimate and UM are kind of loud)

Is the Valk 3 better or worse than Valk 3 M?

 

[greentgoatgal]

M is always better

Hey Guys, I was wondering what the best 2x2 and 4x4 cubes are for their value. I was also wondering what 4x4 and 2x2 cubes people mainly use for my personal reference to decide what ill get.

Thanks Guys

On 4x4 most people use the Qiyi Wuque. On 2x2 I would say that most people us Old Plastic Dayan, XingHen or Chuwen.

The QiDi S 2x2 is great. It is only $5 USD, and almost on the level of much more expensive puzzles. It also requires very little setup. For 4x4, I absolutely love the KungFu CangFeng as a budget option, or the Mini ThunderClap if you prefer smaller puzzles.

What is the best budget 7x7?

(Stickerless) MF7S
I dumped a bunch of heavy lube inside, broke it in, now it's super smooth and controllable, but not sluggish or slow at all. Everyone who's turned it has really liked the feeling.
I can't say anything about the YJ 7x7s, and I'm sure the shengshou cubes suck.

 

[Sion]

Which cube is smoother (glides without a friction style bumpiness when lubricant wears down):
Yuexiao Pro or Yan 3?

Recommendations for a Fisher cube? Just the standard Fisher not one of the other varieties.

YJ Fisher v2, has a guanlong mech so it's speedcubable

What is the best Kilominx on the market right now?

 

[Tabe]

There's only one true Kilominx in the market right now - the Shengshou. The other has colored center pieces which alters the puzzle.

Ok, how is the performance of that puzzle?

Dunno. Haven't been able to convince myself to order it.

 

[greentgoatgal]

Mine is ok. I think with some lube it would be pretty good. IMO it's one of the better shengshou puzzles.

 

[Tabe]

Yeah, the Shengshou is pretty nice. Not sure about the Cubestyle / Fanxin one.
