It depends on the amount of money you have. How much do you have?

If you’re talking something fairly expensive, either a WuQue M, a Premium WuQue Mini M, or an AoSu GTS V2 M.

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

enough to get any 4x4 on the cubicle

 

[AbsoRuud]

The new MoYu 4x4x4 is about to come out. It's bound to be a top contender for the best 4x4x4.

Otherwise your three choices are: WuQue M, Aosu GTS 2 M or Valk 4 M. Set up by and stuff by the cubicle.

And I can't not mention the MeiLong 4 if you magnetize it. It's amazing.

ok thanks!

Recommended 4x4x4:

• Budget: QiYi Thunderclap Mini 4x4 - $12.95 or Meilong 4x4 - $4.99
• Great: Qiyi Mini Wuque M - $31.95
• Expert: Angstrom WuQue M 4x4 - $69.99 or MoYu AoSu 4x4 GTS2 M - $44.99

the Aosu GTS2M is the best out of the box, Valk 4 M is good if your willing to take out all the springs and stretch them, Wuque M is fine but much more expensive, my favorite of these three is the Aosu GTS2M

 

[Daxton Brumfield]

the meilong m is in my opinion the best 4x4 just because of its small size, and fluid turning, but dont put too strong of magnets in it. 5x1 n35 is way too strong.

I put 4x1.5 n35s on the outters tho and that feels really nice

4x1 N35 on the inners and 4x2 N35 on the outers for me. Works great.

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.

YJ Yulong - https://cubezz.com/Buy-5955-YongJun+YuLong+V2+M+3x3x3+Magnetic+Magic+Cube+Stickerless.html

Thanks for the info, doing my research on it!

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$.

I was looking at the GAN 356 R... it’s the same price on Cubezz

Do you think I should maybe get the GAN 356 R?

Hey everyone, I started cubing around 3 days ago and I love it, my time rn on begginers method is 3:45 PB... I don’t know if I should keep practicing and try to memorize algorithms or move over to CFOP or ROUX... Also I am upgrading my Rubik’s cube to something a bit better, I am buying for cubezz, and max I can spend on a cube is $20... any suggestions? I have been looking at the GAN 356 R, the YJ youlong or whatever, and the MF3RS2 M, be free to leave any other suggestions

Yuxin little magic M. It is the best budget high-end 3x3. You may refer to the poll results of budget high-end 3x3 here.

 

[kxssam]

Hey everyone, just started cubing 3 days ago and my pb is 3 min 45 sec... should I improve my begginers method and memorize algs? Or move onto Roux or CFOP, and if you say move, tell me which one...
Also my Rubik’s cube is really bad and looking to upgrade for 20 on cubezz. I have been looking at the Valk 3M, GAN 356 M, YJ yuolong v2, MF3RS2 M... please suggest any other cubes or tell which one to get... thanks

For just starting out, i wouldn't recommend something that expensive. I'd recommend for starting out a Qiyi Warrior w 3$ or MF3RS2 5$. I think you should do some research on the cubes before buying any. For getting faster I'd recommend

• Improving beginners method
• Then practicing and getting your times to about a minute
• Then learning CFOP With 4 Look last layer

Hope this helps!

Ok, I was just thinking that maybe something more expensive will help me learn faster, guess that’s wrong, I did not know that in the cubing world $15 was considered expensive, thanks for letting me know, peace

3x3 budget - MoYu MeiLong 3x3
3x3 great - Yuxin Little Magic M 3x3
3x3 expert - MoYu WeiLong GTS 3 M, MoYu WeiLong WR M, GAN 356 X

Yuxin little magic M has over 50 degrees of normal corner cutting, and 30 degrees of reverse corner cutting. Some cubers even use it as their main over 3x3 flagships which are way more expensive than the Yuxin Little Magic M. It just need magnets to be good. Get it if you have the money. Don't get the stickered one since the stickers are bad.

Yuxin little magic Line is the way to go, except skewb.

Seconded. I put 4x1,5 N35 in the middle layer and it's too strong. So I bought another MeiLong to do it the right way.
