Get the Aosu GTS2M for 4x4.

Or the Aosu WR M 4x4 if smaller cubes are your thing (59mm 4x4)

 

[GAN 356 X]

I am looking to buy a new 2x2 as my friend broke my MGC recently, but he payed me back. I have narrowed it down to the Valk 2 LM or Dayan Tengyun. What do you recommend?

 

[GAN 356 X]

M

I want to know what is the best 3 by 3

A lot of people agree the Gan x is superior, but others think that the WRM from Moyu or GTS3M or GTS2M is better. With Qiyi coming out with the Wuwei, it may all change soon

Hey guys, I’m not in the us but wanted to get scs’s halloween pack cuz it looks great, and to avoid paying pricey shipping twice, I waned to get myself a new 3x3, with PVC coating. Only their cosmic or supernova cubes can come with pvc coating, but I don’t want to spend heaps. I definitely want to get it magnetic tho, so I don’t have to magnetise it myself (I seem to not be great at that). I was leaning towards the Yulong V2 M, as I like my normal version and it’s cheap. Anyone tried that in particular before, or have experience with SCS custom cubes or pvc coating?

Oh and in terms of my cubing ability, I average right around 20 secs on 3x3 but pb is 12.9, and my cubes get a decent bit of use so wanting a cube that can stand a while and still be good. (My self-magnetised gan air has clocked at least 7000 solves by now and is still great, need a cube to live up to that age mark, at least a couple years).
Oh, and my turning style is relatively high tps, slightly rough (but working on that!) and is appreciative of easy corner cutting.


Any input would be highly appreciated!
Cheers!

These two really stand out in my opinion. Same price, very good cubes. Including PVC coating, they're gonna run about 55 dollars. In my opinion the YuLong V2M is very nice, but I wouldn't get a 13 dollar puzzle and then slap a 25 dollar coating on it. I'd rather just buy two extra puzzles for that price.

With $50 AUD total ($35 USD) budget I want a 2x2 and 4x4 cube, both magnetic. What is the best combo?

Just for context on my magnet preference, my 3x3 is a Moyu GTS 2M. I think the magnets should be a bit stronger. I'd prefer something closer to the strength of gan air sm (somewhere in between).

 

[GAN 356 X]

MGC 2x2, and the Gts2m is absolutely worth it. But if you don't wanna go over budget, I've heard the meilong is good, and the YLM is pretty sluggish but decent for its price.

Also, the yupo v2m is awesome

 

[GAN 356 X]

So I'm thinking of getting a square-1. What it is better, the option with bright sticker less, or the one with black instead of yellow?

 

[KM the cuber]

I'm just getting into feet. Which cube should I use?

 

[GAN 356 X]

Anything cheap. Putting your feet on an expensive cube is sin imo

 

[GenTheSnail]

As a sub 45 solver, I use a GAN356 Air (it's not magnetic because I couldn't be bothered to spend an extra $8, but I think a strong magnetic cube would be very good).

It's a good cube for Feet as it's very stable. I think I switched out the orange and green shades for fluros for better visibility. It's mostly just lubed with a lot of whatever heavy stuff I was using when I was actively practicing Feet (either Cubicle Weight 4 or Traxxas 50k).

 

[One Wheel]

Big Sail with very strong magnets and black instead of orange and hot pink instead of red. I’ve considered switching to a GTS3M probably with extra magnets, but haven’t spent that money yet.

good 3x3 for one handed?

 

[6est9evet]

So im interested in buying a new 3x3 because the screw and sprig on my xuxib kylin v2 flew and i wasnt able to find them.
My price cap is below $20.
I was looking at a few cubes like the Gan 356r,guogan yuexiao e and the supernova rs3m. Do you guys have any cubes you'd recomend for a 3x3 under $20.

 

[Zarxrax]

I hear the magnetized little magic is quite good.
MGC Elite should be released soon and is expected to be around the $20 range. A few early reviews have been quite positive, but I don't know how it will stack up against some of the other options.

 

[fun at the joy]

here are some recommendations: Huanlong M, GTS2 M, Valk3 M, Tengyun M, YueXiao Pro M.
All under $20 from zcube

 

[Astral cubing]

I agree. Personally, I’d go with the Valk, Huanglong, or GTS2

 

[chron0s]

The RS3 is a nice cube, needs a little bit of setup I think so the supernova version might be a good option. do you prefer black or stickerless? I wouldn't go non-magnetic unless you dislike magnets - the YJ Yulong V2 is a really, really nice puzzle with a little bit of setup and is just $7 new.

I prefer stickerless but i dont disloke stickers,but on my qiyi mofangge 3x3,like it doesnt have stickers its just a thin layer of paint made to look like stickers i think and its really bad,also i dont dislike magnets its just that i am a begginner and i new cube to get me into 3x3 again.

MF3RS3M, without question.
