What is your favorite 3x3, and what are the pros and cons? Looking to get a nice one, but I am absolutely clueless

Edit -
So far I think I like the Gan 356 V2 the best. Thoughts?

The top 3 cubes on the market right now are the Valk 3, GTS2M or one of the Gans cubes.

I personally use the Valk 3 and I have made mine magnetic with N35's.

I am an amateur cuber. I was given the choice to buy two 2x2s and a bottle of lube.
For 2x2s I have to chose between the following: 1.Cyclone Boys 2x2 2.Type C Wittwo 2x2(V1).
3.Qiyi Qidi S 2x2
For lube, I honestly didn't know what to get. Any Suggestions? Thanks!!

I have the cyclone boys 2x2 and it catches and locks up lot.
As far as lube goes, lubicle one, silk or dnm 37 would be good.

Hello,

I want to learn Skewb, but first I need to buy one. I was wondering what the Cheapest but best Skewb is for a beginner?

Thanks!

The cubing class room Skewb is good! If you get it you should slow it down with a heavier lube because it's fast.

How much are you willing to spend for a 2x2?

The Cubing Classroom (Mofang Jiaoshi) skewb is $6 from Cube Depot. The Moyu Magnetic is $11 from Cube Depot. Both have a lot of positive reviews.

I've been kind of out of the loop for the past 2 years but am recently getting back into cubing.

I'd like to upgrade to a magnetic cube but I use Roux which contains a lot of M-slices where you're dealing with twice as much magnetic force compared to side turns, is this an issue? Would any of the three main options (GTS2-M, Air UM, Valk M) be a better choice? I have not used any of these in their non-magnetic versions, but I have tried a GTS2-M and liked it. I know the Valk M is advertised as having somewhat weaker magnets, not sure about the GTS2-M vs. Air UM magnet strengths. I'm not a high speed solver and probably a bit sloppy with my turning, but I do appreciate a really nice feeling cube. Cost is not a factor.

The different spring options in the Air UM is interesting but I'm uncertain how this differs from adjusting tension screws. Basically, if this helps guaranteed that I'll find a setup I really love then it's attractive, otherwise it may just be extra cost for little added value since I'm not a pro.

Thanks!

The Gans 356 Air UM's middle slices feel really nice. Pretty much like the outer layers.
