Hi, what are your recommendations for 5x5? I'm thinking of the valk 5 m, wushuang and mgc

Budget or best?

 

[GAN 356 X]

Budget or best?

Best os obviously Valk 5, budget YLM and mid range MGC (although the MGC imo is only a step below the Valk)

The Valk. The MGC is almost as good but needs to be slowed down.

I personally really like its speed. I do like my cubes fast though I suppose

Hey guys! I'm considering buying a cube for OH. It would probably also become my 3x3 main, but my I'm okay with my cube (MGC Elite) for two-handed but not OH. I find it to be too blocky and slow and because I have to use M-slices it becomes a burden. Do you think the Valk Elite has good M-slices, enough so that I could use it for OH? Thanks for your consideration.

I don't have a valk elite, but I've heard it doesn't have the best M slices

Most people use either the GAN 354 M or the Dayan Tengyun M for OH, I think. I don't have either, though.

Tengyun is marvelous for OH

So I snagged up the Tengyun 3x3 and am very happy with how quiet it is. Are there any 4x4's and 5x5's that are near as quiet?

 

[ari(a cuber)]

mgc elite? or something else? i have a little magic m but its unstable. my birthday is coming up and i would like to upgrade my 3x3 main, however, i dont know anything about these cubes

 

[Mischiiii]

If you can afford it ill suggest the Valk 3 Elite M. Super stable puzzle.

YLM M is good already. Try buying some slowing down lube.

I would suggest Angstrom Compound X. Put only one drop on the tracks and one in the fluorine cut each. Repeat, only one drop in each section. Keep in mind this will majorly slow down the cube, so get your hands on dnm.

Dayan Tengyun - Light magnets, quietest cube on the market, smooth, and extremely fast

Valk Power M - Blocky, heavyish magnets, medium to fast speed, very nice and smooth

MGC Elite - Haven’t really researched on it.

MGC elite has adjustable springs and magnets.

 

[ari(a cuber)]

cant afford valk elite, is the mgc elite too fast to?

 

[LNBFilms]

YLM M, with the lube I stated earlier should be sufficient.

I have tried it with that exact cube (YLM M). Trust me.

If you think the Little Magic is unstable, you don't want the Tengyun.

The MGC Elite is pretty good but catchy.
