I recently started Cubing a few days ago... I have solved a few times but not very fast... the Rubik’s cube I have is really slow and annoying, so I was looking to upgrade... I am willing to pay $20 on Amazon Canada... I have been looking at the Yuxin little Magic and MF3RS2... I am scared to get the little magic as I am worried it will be to fast and feel flimsy... Iwhich cube would you recommend?? I also don’t want to have to adjust or lube anything... I want it good out of the box. Preferably sticker less

I have both Little Magic and the MF3 series cubes. The MF3 ones flimsier and less stable. You should really get the Little Magic. It is not "fast" as you put it and a lot more stable (no distortion) when you need to flip the cube around to look.

Yulong V2M by a long shot

 

[Micah Morrison]

Yulong V2M only good budget magnetic cube

 

[kxssam]

also, use cancube.ca

Issue is, shipping is an extra $10, it would make more sense to try and find it on amazon.

Ok, will do, I have heard a few reviews and people say it’s hard to control...

yj mgc is also very good

I have heard that... I just really don’t want a a cube with stickers...

I have read lots of reviews on it and most say it is flimsy and feels lose out of the box, I don’t want to learn how to tension things and buy stuff to lube it when I’m just starting out, that’s why I’m a bit skeptical

I do not agree with the assessment of the QiYi Warrior W. I really like this cube. It's pretty stable and good for beginners. It's also dirt cheap.

I'm a beginner like you—and I bought way too many cubes based on reviews done by established speed cubers that turn accurately and cut corners. I also needed a stable cube that doesn't warp or distort when I press the sides—and in order of descending stability and control without lube (for beginner):

Valk 3 (factory lube removed) > Little Magic > MF3RS > MF3RS3 > Meilong

Meilong is especially unstable and harder to do M slices for Roux. And the MF3 series have these weird "spring" ticking sounds during turns.

But when you magnetize the MeiLong it becomes insanely good.

That's what I heard as well—like a magnetised GAN I suppose? Without magnets, my F turns can accidentally end up with 2F!

I'll think about magnets when I get better a roux. It seems a lot more fun than CFOP, less algs to memorise as well!

yeah.... na. i hate it and it feels really unstable and i undershoot almost every turn. feel cheap and not well made like some other budget cubes. could relly have been improved, just like the qiyi qidi s.

 

[GAN 356 X]

I'd go for either the mf3r2, yuxin little magic, Yuxin kylin, little magic, mf3rs3, or yj yulong. my mate has the yj yulong and its insanely good. id almost prefer it over my gts2m

M8 U know my Yulong is better. The gts2m is too slow!!

its actually quite fast, but I lubed it with angstrom compound x. you could easily make it terribleyfast with dam-37

Try using cubezz.com
They have free international shipping and very cheap prices. If you are willing to wait a bit longer for your cubes.
The YJ Yulong V2M is only $7.15 USD (9.49 CAD) with shipping as opposed to 10.49 CAD without shipping at CANCube.

We can't agree on everything.

Lil magic is 5$ , you can get a good magnetic cube for 20 bucks. I would say go for MF3RS2(M) it will cost 15$.

Hi

Men I recomend to you the Yuxin Little Magic 3x3. It's a really good cube (I started with it), it's pretty smooth, stable and fast.
I used it for 3 months and it was a really good cube for start.

I'll leave you some reviews here:
