[GAN 356 X]

Valk 2 M or Tengyun M. I tried a Valk at a comp extensively and like it a lot. Do you think the Tengyun would be a better choice for me, someone who has a pretty average turning style? What cube do you prefer out of the 2?

I would personally go for the valk, but it’s all your own personal preference

Ok. I think I might then. I do like the Tengyun 3x3 though

The Tengyun is better in my opinion.

Talk about mixed opinions

Does the Tengyun feel similar to the 3x3 version?

 

[Mischiiii]

I would say Moyu WR M (light magnets) or GTS3M (stronger magnets). If you need a very silent one i guess the tengyun is fine. I heard it’s pretty silent. I only own wrm and gts3m tho so i can’t tell if its good.

 

[AbsoRuud]

How can you hear that it was very silent? :LOL:

Opinions are very different. GAN people like GAN, MoYu people like MoYu, QiYi people like QiYi.

I like the MeiLong 3 M a lot. If I could only use one cube for the rest of my life I'd probably pick that one. But I used a TengYun last comp and did pretty well with it. But I actively try to be 'cube neutral' and not just use one cube all the time. I have about 5 'mains' like that.

haha nice one .Of course i would have recommended a GAN if the buget was a little bit higher . I can’t really decide between the GTS3M and GAN XS for my favorite cube. I also like trying different cubes. I try collecting every flagship 3x3 that comes out from Moyu, GAN and Qiyi.

I guess you can’t go wrong with either of the cubes recommended. Especially at the level you are (i assume if you ask what cube to buy you aren’t sub 30 yet).

I'm looking for the quietest 3x3 possible (for the purposes of cubing in public) that is still a very good cube. Any ideas?

Tengyun

I'm wondering this also

 

[AbsoRuud]

Yeah, the TengYun is super quiet. And if you lube it well and don't turn super harshly, it won't bother anyone.

the best quiet cube i have is the gan 356 x. It’s the cube i use at work while lunch break. I hoped the XS was the same but it’s a bit louder. Still more quiet than the gts3m or wr m.

i think it’s the most silent and most mained “flagship”-cube you can buy right now.

EDIT: Of course it’s rather expensive. So if thats a factor as well the tengyun is good. The videos I’ve seen so far said it’s very quiet.

 

[GAN 356 X]

Tengyun for sure

Ok, I'm looking to get into 6x6 and 7x7, what cubes do you recommend? Do I go budget with Yushi V2m and the Yufu V2m, or do I wait for the MGC 6x6 to appear on Speedcube and get the Spark along with it? I don't particularly want to spend too much on these, as I won't probably be practicing them much, but at least able to enjoy those events.

Or do I go for the two best currently, the Spark and the Shadow?

Thanks in advance

Edit: wait I realised the Yufu is sold out on speedcube

 

[Tabe]

The Yushi and Yufu are both outstanding values, the best budget cubes you can buy. I've heard the MGC 6x6 is better, however. Still, if you don't think you'll be that serious, get the Yu cubes. And then buy the Spark or Hays v2 in a year.

Speedcube told me that they will not have more stock until next year if you’re lookng at the Yufu.

I was gonna buy them so I could compete in those events in melrbouen summer 2020

I'm picking up speedcubing after several years. Last I remember, I used to be sub-16 with a ZhanChi using Roux (now dropped to sub-30 T_T).

I'm not up to speed on latest cubes and stuffs. But it seems like the Magnetic cubes are the popular choice these days. Having not tried one before and most reviews online talking about how hard M moves are, I'm not sure which one to get.

Seems like the prices have gone up. I can spend up to $35 for 3x3x3.

What are my choices (given that I use Roux)? Should I get a cheap magnetic one to try it out before spending more on a magnetic cube?
