HAHAHAHA... no. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about LMFAO.
Hey man! What would you say the best cube is under $15? I have been looking and most opinions are biased... I prefer stickerless and setup out of the box if possible... (ordering on cubezz)
That's that basis of what I shared in your other thread; adjectives used to describe cubes on reviews are very personal and will differ greatly from a sub-20 vs beginner.
My advice is simply buy a budget cube, get a feel of what you like and/or don't like about it. Then share this with the community. Folks with multiple cube experience will understand your personal reference point and direct you to the right one.
True, I have watched lots of reviews on rs3 and lots of people say it’s stable and decently controllable, soft and smooth, all which I oiled like... so I bought it off cubezz around 30 minutes ago for $12 CAD, which is really good
Oh, I should have shared that an RS3 arrived for me and I hated its noisy springs—something that can only be fixed with lube that I don't wanna get into.
Ahhhh fudge... is there a way to get a refund on cubezz?
How noisy was it? Was it still a good cube?
I watched reviews on it and it doesn’t sound noisy.. wdym by spring noises?

MGC v1 is pretty good ootb, but it isn’t available in stickerless. Most other of those cubes aren’t great ootb. However, yulong V2 M is good ootb, just loose. You just need to do a small bit of tensioning, then it is good.
I ordered the rs3... is it noisy like some people say? Most reviews don’t sound noisy...
Also... is the rs3
And mf3rs2 good ootb?
Maybe I have a lemon, but I can hear the spring ticking (rubbing against something) when I turn the cube. It's not loud, but it's there if you pay attention.
For me personally, RS3 feels sandy or slightly rough when I turn it. I guess it is a sign that it needs lube. (FWIW, MF3RS also has the same spring sound). I prefer YLM over RS3 because it is smoother.

putting heavy lube in the hardware can greatly reduce spring noises
Ye, but then I gotta spend money again on lube
Yes, but the ylm would be a little unstable, would you recommend the RS2 over the YLM?
Yes, I have, but I can get store credit if I really want to... but I still am not sure whether the spring noise is gonna bother me
