What 2x2 should I get at $25 or less? Is the gan 249 v2 worth it?

The Gan 249 v2M is a good cube. I personally did not like the stickerless as it's very slippery. The black is good though.

If you want to try the stickerless, I have one that's basically brand-new that I'll sell cheap.

I personally don't really like the gan 249 v2m.
I've tried 2-3 of them, and they seem to have a weird magnetic strength in my opinion. You can feel a very clear repelling strength before you get alligned with your magnets. Maybe it's just the ones I tried weren't set up nicely.
Also, it's quite slippery, so if you really want it, get the stickered version
If I were to get a 2×2 I'd get a xinghen m.
Doesn't really have that repelling force felt, pretty smooth without set up, nice corner cutting

is the mf2 m a good option @THERAGINGCYCLOPS @Tabe

I have tried any of the MF2 models. I've tried just about every other 2x2 except those, LOL.

I seem to say this alot, but I love my MF2S. It's my main and I love it. Really fast and smooth. I have the cubicle MF2M and it's not my favorite. Some people really liked it, but the stickerless version is slippery. I think that does go away some. The magnets IMO are too strong. But generally I prefer non magnetic 2x2's. Nonetheless it is a good option for a lot of people, just not me. Picking up a Mf2s with cubicle internal lube service (like 8 bucks total) Or just an Mf2s and lube it yourself (I used just 10k if I remember it right, it works great) would be my opinion. Feel free to ask any more questions.

I like the GTS1 but I want it in stickerless. I have tried the MoJue but it dries too fast and is too blocky. Any other options with easy corner cutting (feels like nothing) and that crunchy fast feeling?

What do you think is the best 3x3 cube for one handed. I am a 11 year old kid so I have small hands.

Either a Valk Mini or the Cubing Classroom (Mofang Jiaoshi) 50mm. Since you have small hands, probably the Valk Mini since it's smaller (47.4mm). You might consider picking up this bundle:

5 puzzles, all different sizes, for $12. Tough to argue with that.

 

[ophir]

what should I do:
1. pay 49$ (which is a lot, but still possible) and get the Cubicle Labs Valk M
2. pay 27$ (which is a good price) and get the Cubicle ProShop Valk
?

 

[Tabe]

Option 3: Buy your own Valk and magnetize it, saving $$$.

Otherwise, do #1.

Option 4: Get a stickerless supernova valk which is more affordable

68 mm big sail? Maybe a magnetic version to make it even better

I think that the Valk M stickerless is the best cube for feet. I have tried the Gans Air, Thunderclap, Power M, and a few others and the Valk M seem to have the best stability and control for feet solving.
