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

how does it compare to the wingy?

 

[Tabe]

I would say the Wingy is just a little better because of the concave shape. That makes it easier to grip. The Cyclone Boys is a little faster.

where magnets are less stronger?
I want to buy a cube for regular solves and also for blind. I saw that GTS3 LM is pretty good (Jack Cai and Jake Klassen have very good results on it). But i have maybe stuiped question, is magnets in GTS3 LM less strong than in GTS2 M? I just tried do edge comms on GTS2 M and it seemed to me a little hard. I cant try GTS3 LM in real life cuz my little town have no speedcuding shops, so i decided to ask about it here

 

[willtri4]

The L in LM stands for light, so M is stronger than LM.

What is the quietest cube out there?

Performance isn't considered, just silence lol.

i dont mean GTS3 M, i mean GTS2 M. Just i know that magnets in GTS3 M are stronger than in GTS2 M, and GTS3 LM magnets lower than GTS3 M. But doesnt it mean that magnets in GTS3 LM like ones in GTS2 M? I hope u understand me cuz english isnt my first language so maybe my explanations are stuiped

Hey, I've been using a guanlong for 3 years and I'm am in need of an upgrade. I've heard that the mf3rs2 is a good cube but there's a new mf3rs3. Some reviews say that the mf3rs3 isn't a good upgrade from the mf3rs2 so I'm having trouble choosing what cube i should get. Should I get an mf3rs2/mf3rs3?

 

[Tabe]

Both the MF3RS2 and MF3RS3 are very good puzzles. Without magnets, the 2 is more flexible than the 3. The 3 is very stable without magnets (or so I'm told). The factory magnetic version of the MF3RS3 is very flexible. It's an excellent puzzle and one of the few "budget" cubes I've ever owned that didn't feel cheap.

I think you'll be happy with either one.

you may also consider getting the yuxin little magic m. It's too fast and too flexible without magnets. But with magnets, it is a very great cube, balancing the stability and the speed of the cube, and it's my current main. The corner cutting is even better than flagship cubes, with normal cutting 55° and line to line reverse (30°). It's faster, more flexible and less stable than the mf3rs2.

most stable:
1.mf3rs3
2.mf3rs2
3.little magic m
fastest:
1.little magic m
2.mf3rs2
3.mf3rs3
lightest:
1.little magic m
2.mf3rs2
3.mf3rs3
extra reminders:
-mf3rs3 has slots for magnets inside the pieces, but it only fits 4*1.5 magnets. 4*2 magnets won't fit in the slots.
-the yuxin little magic m has frosted surface on the stickerless version, where the stickers are crap on the black version. If you are going to get the yuxin little magic m, you are recommended to get the stickerless version, unless you are going to replace the stickers on the black version.

What magnets did you use for the little magic m?

most stable:
1.mf3rs3

1.little magic m
2.mf3rs2
3.mf3rs3
lightest:

extra reminders:
-mf3rs3 has rooms for magnets inside the pieces, but it only fits 4*1.5 magnets. 4*2 magnets won't fit in the room.
-the yuxin little magic m has frosted surface on the stickerless version, where the stickers are crap on the black version. If you are going to get the yuxin little magic m, you are recommended to get the stickerless version, unless you are going to replace the stickers on the black version.

The yuxin little magic m stickerless is my current main, and I found that after I get use to the frosted surface, it isn't an issue. It is not as frosted as the qiyi budget cubes.
Although the stickers on mf3rs2 are not as bad as on the yuxin little magic m, the stickers are not that great. If you are going to get the mf3rs2, get the stickerless version.
I personally won't suggest getting the mf3rs3, as it is tooooooo sluggish. Lube doesn't help much on speeding up slow cubes. But for fast cubes, lubrication works well. Fast cubes can be slowed down a lot by lube. Both mf3rs2 and the yuxin little magic m are great budget cubes, just depends on your turning style.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

What magnets did you use for the little magic m?

4*2 n35 magnets. They works great.

It's slient and also small enough.
You can play it in the lesson silently.

I’ve tried both only once so don’t really know those two cubes well so I need some help to decide which to get

If you are going to add magnets into the cube, get the yuxin little magic.
If not, get the mf3rs2.

 

[SuperCheese]

I want a new 2x2 but i dont know witch one i should get. Do you have any ideas?

 

[AbsoRuud]

Depends on your budget and your preference. Do you like super fast cubes, or slower cubes? What is your budget? There's a thread that recommends the best cube for each budget level. You should check it out.

The new Valk 2M is also a contender for one of the best cubes out there.
