@CuberStache used it for a while and he said it was amazing.

I still use it as my main

Does anyone have a suggestion on a good magnetic budget cube. I would get the RS3M, but the magnets are weak and I would prefer to buy from SCS.

The Meilong M is fantastic. It has a similar soft and plush feel to the RS3 2020 and fantastic performance. Not only is it a good budget cube, its a great cube in general! Also, is there any reason why you buy from SCS instead of other stores? If you really want the RS3 2020 you can just buy that and a magnetization kit from SCS although that will run you a lot more than 1$

It's much closer to where I live than TC.

There is hardly a difference, I live on the opposite side of the country from Thecubicle but their shipping has always been like 3 business days.

That's fair, but I still use TC despite it being over 1000 miles farther away than SCS since their shipping is normally same day and I prefer their products. I also forgot to mention 2 other cubes. The Wuwei M is fantastic and very stable, but it's 15$ so it might be too expensive for you. The MS is also a great option if you want a clacky harsher feeling.

Qiyi MS

Qiyi MS

On a serious note, I recommended the Meilong to him because it feels much more like the cube he was looking for, the RS3 2020.

 

[CyoobietheCuber]

15$

Yeah. $20 is is a bit to much for me.

soft and plush feel

clacky harsher feeling.

I prefer a soft, crunchy feel, kinda like my GTS2, but a but more clicky/crunchy.

Well then the MS or Wuwei would be the best option for you

Sorry if this seems off-topic, I promise it's not..........

Has the GAN Pyraminx gotten to any testers yet?

I have wanted a new Pyraminx for a while, and I was going to ask about the current state of flagship pyraminxes on the market today, but then I remembered the GAN one set to be released in the future.

Would it be worth it to hold off on purchasing a pyraminx until after that one is released? Or should I go with another option... say... the Bell v2 or maybe the MS?

For context, I have been using the same X-Man Bell since it's first release, and the magnets are too much for me at this point. I would like some updated hardware.

If you want something with lighter magnets the huanglong pyra is a good option, and the bell v2 also has lighter magnets. I'd say its a safer bet since all of the gan side puzzles were huge flops aside from their half-decent megaminx. I don't think that the GAN pyra will be good but the X-Man Bell v2 has people that know what they are doing working on it. So Huanglong or Bell v2 is what I would reccomend

Is gts2m WCA good option? I have any budget one rn (Yj Yulong V2M).

No, better cubes around that price range are the tengyun m and the MGC. The tengyun is known for being very quiet but has weaker magnets, and the MGC has the same features as the more expensive flagships. The gts3m/wrm are both better cubes in the same line, but are quite a bit more expensive. The rs3m2020 is a much cheaper cube ($10) that has the dual adjustment system, and has become the main of world record holder Yusheng du. If you were to buy that one, you should probably also get the rs3m2020+ magnets from The cubicle, as the magnets are quite weak.

I'm from Finland so buying magnets from The Cubicle would be too expensive. (Shipping is like 20 dollaria).

Qiyi ms or ylm

We at speedcubing.org can send you an MF3RS3M 2020 when we get them back in stock For £9.50 + £5.35 shipping and we send the extra magnets with every order of it at the moment anyway. If you don't want to wait for that we have the meilong M and the QiYi MS which are essentially on par available for even less.

Shipping:
£5.35 for up to 250g
£7.25 for up to 500g


@Kaneki Uchiha QiYi MS is better than a yuxin little magic simply due to it being magnetic, a small number of people may still prefer the yuxin little magic once magnetized but since that isn't done in the factory it will be quite expensive to have it done.

 

[Kauhu]

I don't know if I want/can magnetize them on my on.
