Hello,
It says in the "Up to date recomm thread" that the best budget 4x4 is the QiYi Thunderclap Mini 4x4 ($12.95) and then the great one is over $30. Are there no good (ie better than the Thunderclap mini) cubes in the $15-30 range? Shoud I just get the thunderclap mini?

Buy a Wuque for 17 bucks and magnetize it yourself. Or spend around 30 and get the Aosu GTS2M, which is much, much better.

Hello everyone
The first speedcube I've ever bought is (or was ? sorry for my english) the Dayan Zhanchi V5. I love the clicky feeling you have when you turn it. Is there a top speedcube with magnets and with the same feeling as the Dayan ? Thanks for reading !

 

[Hunar]

I am very confused which 3x3 cube should I buy, GTS3M or Dayan Tengyun M. Please help me I am going for Indian Nationals and I want a better cube.

I have a Qiyuan and the inner layer always gets awful pops and crazy explosion. My pb is 3mins. Should I get the thunderclap as an upgrade? Also, how about the cengfeng 4x4 and the G4?
I am going to magnetize my new 4x4. Among the thunderclap, the cengfeng 4x4 and the G4, which one is the best?
I want a 4x4 which doesn't pop and both outer and inner layer works well, and I'm on tight budget.

What you want is the Thunderclap Mini. It's a lot better than either of those two and easy to magnetize.

If you don't want to magnetize it yourself, get a Shengshou Mr M.

how about the regular size thunderclap?

 

[Tabe]

Everyone says the mini is a lot better than the regular.

Everyone says the mini is a lot better than the regular.

But the price of mini is a double of regular one.

On The Cubicle, one is $10, one is $13.

I'm getting them from taobao.
the regular one is $2.

 

[AbsoRuud]

They're both 9 dollars on z-cube.

Extremely citation needed.

I've seen this mentioned so many times by so many people who don't have both the 60 mm and 62 mm versions; I almost feel like getting both just to test it for myself.

I am going to get the regular one as it is cheaper.

So here is a list of all my mains for every event.

I realize that some of these cubes aren't the greatest, which is why I wanted to make a post asking the community which they would recommend. I will put them all here just in case there is a better option than what I currently use.

Price is not an issue. I usually save for cubes anyway. Though... < 60-65$ is a lot. So I might not want to buy something at that price point.

2x2: Cubicle YJ MGC
I quite like this cube

3x3, OH, Feet, BLD: MoYu Weilong GTS3M
Very good, but a bit fast. Slowed down with Compound X, it is amazing.

4x4: Cubicle QiYi Mini WuQue M
Perfect in my opinion

5x5: none atm but I am ordering a YLM 5x5 M
no current opinion

6x6: Cosmic QiYi WuHua v2 M
Pretty good, but a bit slow.

7x7: QiYi WuJi
Hard to control, and the layers are rather uneven. Smooth turning.

Clock: LingAo
Turns well. Pins are bad though. Planning on magnetizing them.

Megaminx: XMD Galaxy v2 LM
Honestly amazing. Couldn't ask for better.

Skewb: XMD Wingy
Very good and tactile. Controllable. Skewb is my main event so

Pyraminx: XMD Bell (highest magnet setting)
Couldn't ask for better.

Square-1: XMD Volt
Leaves a lot to be desired. I am interested in the one YuXin is planning to release. Should release next week or so, I believe.

anyone here have used the cyclone boys magnetic skewb? it's much better than the moyu, and it's my main.

 

[Tabe]

I've used it. It's really good but I like the Aoyan more.
