Are you in school? Because rn is winter break.

I'm on break, but I have some other priorities other than cubing rn (piano comps coming up, etc.) but when I finish with those I can cube more!

 

[Parity Nightmare]

if you have $100 (im assuming that it is USD)

I would get the valk 5m and mgc 6 by 6

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

I enjoy the light weight feel and smoothness of my Yuxin little magic (stickered, no magnets). I also have a Yuxin kylin v2m; I really like the stability of the v2m but it does feel a bit sluggish compared to my little magic. The v2m is also noticeably heavier or at least feels like it takes more effort to turn.

Would a Cubicle pro shop magnetized sticker-less Yuxin little magic be a good compromise of these 2 cubes or would a magnetized little magic be just marginally different than the V2m? If you've used some of these cubes would you say it's worth $20 for the magnetized little magic or will it feel very similar to the v2m i already have?

 

[AbsoRuud]

A magnetic YLM is very good. It's miles better than the Kylin V2 M and the out of the box YLM. It's not a compromise between anything. It's a very good speedcube that comes close to flagships.

I was wondering what the best 9x9 cube is for the money. I don't do any speed solving so popping shouldn't be a huge problem. The largest cube I have now is the yuxin 5x5 and I love it, the turning is very smooth and I've never had it pop. I want a bigger cube that takes longer to solve, I know it isn't much more difficult than my 5x5. I was thinking the yuxin little magic but I was wondering if I should spend a little more for a better one?

 

[GAN 356 X]

I reckon the YLM or the Meilong. Same price on the cubicle

 

[MJS Cubing]

I really like the MF9 from Cubing Classroom

 

[Parity Nightmare]

I think the YLM is the best.
I have a Meilong 11 x 11.
Its good but it pops on out of the box tensions every 2 solves.

Thanks for the replies, I just ordered the YLM and a pandora cube to get free shipping. Now I'm excited!

You bought the right one.

 

[MJS Cubing]

I'm looking into getting a new 4x4. I have no budget really, and I am looking for one that is high end. Please leave your recommendations!

 

[AbsoRuud]

There's only really a few to choose from on the high end range.
Valk 4 (strong or light magnets), Aosu WRM, Aosu GTS 2M.

I don't have any, but in general most people seem to recommend the Aosu GTS 2M with WRM close second.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Moyu Aosu GTS2M/WRM
Gan 460
Valk 4M
Qiyi Wuque M
What a quick search revealed , so take my opinion with a pinch of salt. Ask somebody who has a flagship 4x4.

 

[MJS Cubing]

Ok. Thank you, guys!

 

[Rafaello]

I use Aosu GTS2 M, tried other flagship 4x4s, but (at least for me) Aosu is best one

 

[Parity Nightmare]

Dude the GAN 460 sucks. I have it and the GuanSu ($8) is literally better.
For the WuQue M, Aosu GTS2M, Valk 4M, and the AoSu WRM
The sizes are all different but the performance is all similar.
WuQue : 62mm
GTS2M : 61mm
Valk : 60mm
WRM : 59mm
I have the WRM and WuQue.
I personally prefer the WRM size as finger tricks are easier. Suck as push reverse U / U'.
Also, the E Perm is much easier on the WRM.
I would personally recommend the WRM. Also, that is the cube that all of the Pros use.

Also, if you are going to get the Valk 4, get it with strong magnets.

Ok, just spitballing

Aosu WRM is the best. I own all the flagship 4x4(I love 4x4) and it is my favorite, though my Valk 4M(Light Magnets) is really nice as well. Do not get a GAN 460. Aosu GTS2M is good as well, but WRM is by far the best.
