[Sudn_Cubes]

Hello! This is my first post in here
(Sorry for my english, im not a native english speaker)

My current main is the valk 3, i have been using this cube for a long time and i realise that it requires alot of force to turn it, and i like a cube that is fast so i can solve it while being relaxed and not catches.

I am also looking for a cube that is magnetic

My budget is around 20-30 dollars, and im considering to buy a mf3rs3m but, i need some suggestion from you guys

Thanks! Cheers!

Note: I am a roux solver, i need a cube whose middle layer is easy to turn.

You should check out the post that lists all the best options for each budget level.

Also, I can really recommend the Supernova Yuxin Little Magic M from Speedcubeshop. It's very, very fast, but controllable due to the magnets. I'm also a Roux solver and I'm really enjoying it.

The GTS2 M is also very good, it's gone down in price a lot since the new Moyu flagships were released.

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.

My main now is the Gan 249 v2 M and I have had it for a long time. I would like a smooth and fast cube. Do you know of any 2x2s like that?

Thanks mate! Seems that yj mgc is a very good cube for 15 bucks, but theres is a v2 of it that cost more (like 3 bucks more), is it worth to buy the v1, v2, or just buy another cube?

The MGC 2 is very very good according to some people, and very very bad according to a lot of people. YMMV. Check some reviews on youtube about it. If you watch CubeSolveHero's review it's the best cube for its money. If you watch Cubicle reviews it's literally garbage.

GTS 2 M is very good, the current WR was done on this cube. And I really like the Supernova Yuxin Little Magic M. For under 20 bucks, you got a world class cube, IMO.

So, I wanted to start doing Skewb, but I don't have one. I would like to know if there are any budget skewbs out there that i should buy.

 

[AbsoRuud]

The XMan Wingy is like 10 bucks and it's one of the bes ton the market.

I would get that, but right now I'm on a really tight budget, so I'd prefer getting a cheaper one.

I have a yuxin black Kirin. At cubicle.us it's six bucks. Not the best in the world, but an okay budget model.

Qiyi Qicheng is pretty good, but if you’re really on a budget, then you might want this one: https://www.thecubicle.com/collections/skewb/products/congs-design-meichen-skewb
This was a top skewb a few years ago and is still pretty good. Non-magnetic, but good.

If you decide to shop with Cubezz, I would recommend getting the Cyclone Boys magnetic skewb instead. It's much better than any budget skewb, either right on par with flagships or just below. $5.95 from Cubezz.

Im going to order some cubes soon, and im planning to get a megaminx and a yuxin kylin v2 m. I dont currently own a sqr-1, a clock, 6x6+, or any non-WCA puzzles besides a rubiks twist, but that doesnt really count. Please tell me what cubes you recommend me to get. Also i dont want to spend more than $30, and i dont like stickers. Which of the previously mention cubes do you think i should get?

Get a qiyi qifa square 1 and a Lingao clock. You don’t need big cubes at a stage where you are. I don’t even have a 5x5. Besides that, get any non-wca puzzles you think are interesting and cheap!

 

[Etotheipi]

Ok, im more interested in clock than sqr-1 so ill get that. Any megaminx recommendations? Im planning to get a yuxin little magic megaminx.
