[Rubix Cubix]

I'm searching for a very light 55mm-57mm speedcube out there. Currently I use a guanlong since it is the lightest cube I own, but it is not such a great speedcube. What is the best lightweight speedcube out there that you know of?

The Yan 3 is a really good lightweight cube as well I think and not as expensive as the gans air.

Another question...

Should I learn how to magnetize cubes myself or get a cube that has already been magnetized? Considering a Valk 3 M.

You sould learn to magnetize becouse it is pretty simple just watch a video I want to magnetize my current main the yuxin

i agree with @Ghost Cuber, it is about the same weight as a guanlong and has much better performance

Should I get a Yan3 or a Gts? Any others for intermediate solvers? and what color.(white black stickerless etc)

GTS2 is bettah than GTS

 

[WillyTheWizard]

I'm looking for a new 3x3 that's very smooth without being slow and isn't crispy or bumpy or anything. If it helps, I really like the feel of a very broken in Cubicle Valk M, and I don't really like the feeling of the GTS2. The Gan UM is okay but too bumpy for me (although that may just be the magnets). I also really like the Little Magic, but I don't like the slight crispiness to it.
I'm also a big fan of the feeling of the Yuxin Blue 4x4 if that helps. Basically I just want something that feels nice, but isn't something I'll get sick of after a while.

Hi. Im new here.
Since i destroyed my MF3RS i need new cube. I did reaserch and im thinking about Valk 3 and Gan Air 356 Master (i think ill magnetize it sooner or later).
I dont know my turning style since i cubeing like 3 months. I like when my cube turning smooth and dont lock up. I hope u can help me.

 

[greentgoatgal]

Eh, just pick one randomly. Since you're new to cubing you're going to love whatever speed cube you get

 

[Szymon]

Well im not that newbie. Im sub 35 and now im starting learn oll (i know pll)

 

[greentgoatgal]

3 months is still pretty darn new. Do you know anyone that has speedcubes you could try?

Since you're looking for really smooth, you might want to go with a gan cube.

 

[Szymon]

The problem is i cant try them.

Ill take gans since i think its more universal cause the GES.

I want to get into 3x3 speedcubing but I don't want to spend a lot of money.
I can buy the following:

• YJ Guanlong 3x3 Stickerless/Black Base/White Base;
• YJ Yongjun Black Base;
• Shengshou Rainbow Stickerless;
• Qiyi Qihang 68mm;
• Shengshou Legend White Base/Black Base;
• Shengshou Sujie Black Base.

I was leaning a bit more to the YJ Yongjun or the Guanlong since they're the cheapest but I don't want to get a cube that's garbage. Can someone help me get the best cube? They're all about the same price except the Shengshou Sujie which is 0,80€ more expensive.
Thank you in advance

Best budget speedcube is MF3RS.

 

[DGCubes]

Personally I think the GuanLong is a bit outdated, so I don't think you should go for that. From what I've heard and tried, the best budget cubes now are the QiYi Sail and the MF3RS, so I'd recommend looking into those. Also, the "YJ Yongjun" is probably some incorrectly advertised GuanLong (or some other YJ cube), because YJ is short for YongJun.

I'd assume the YuXin Little Magic is good too since @Tabe says it is, but I haven't personally seen any information on that cube.

 

[Hazel]

@DGCubes the little magic is amazing, I much prefer it over the MF3RS. Other than a bit of catching sometimes, the Magic is almost on par with things like the Valk.

I wanted to buy that one but the online store I shop at doesn't have them yet

Is this the YuXin Little Magic? https://www.maskecubos.com/pt/3-x-3...l?search_query=Yuxin+little+magic&results=264
This is the YJ Yongjun I was talking about https://www.maskecubos.com/pt/3-x-3-x-3/41-yj-3x3-yongjun-6948571836021.html#/11-color-preto
The MF3RS and the QiYi Sail aren't for the sale on the website unfortunaly that's why I was looking up other options but I'll guess I'll wait for their new products.
