Ok. I think I'm going to get the MGC or little magic. Does anyone who owns or has tried both of them give me a comparison?

The MGC is faster and smoother. It's very close to the Valk overall.

What's the best 4x4? If you have a different favourite pls just comment and say what it is.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Valk 4 M
Aosu GTS2M
Aosu WRM

Just from review experience, not actual ownership.

Valk 4 is smooth, and a little scrunchy
WR has good cornercutting, and pops less.

Random note, there's a typo in the Rubik's Magic tag. It says 'rubiks magic\' instead of 'rubiks magic'.

I realized this after reading every single tag. I have no life.

A disgrace to this beautiful forum.

Hi to all,
I hope you are all well?
Does exist a cube with same feeling movement like Giiker i3SE.
I like the click sound by turning.
I would be cool if I found a cube without electronic and same click feeling and click sound.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind Regards,
Elena

\\EDIT: Sorry, I have seen in Aliexpress, I can buy a Giiker without Bluetooth function. I have buy one and I will see. Thank you anyway!

I'm currently using a Qiyi Thunderclap Mini 4x4(without much setup cause I suck at that) and averaging sub-2:00. I keep telling myself getting a better cube won't help my time much, but I keep thinking of how Tingman got 30 seconds worse when switching to a budget cube So will my times actually change that much if I were to get a better cube?

I used to use a Qiyi Qiyuan S for 4x4, and I averaged, like you, about 2:00. For Christmas, I got a Valk 4 M (strong), and now I average about 1:15-1:20. So, in my opinion, I think that it does make a difference.

MGC elite or wuwei imo. I like the feeling of the Wuwei more but the MGC has more customisation

Tengyun also feels AMAZING and sounds AMAZING. Its a bit unstable though, and a little fast

 

[x_Max]

oh yeah wuwei

 

[MJS Cubing]

I recommend the MeiGC Yeet

I'm looking for a new 4x4(currently raining the thunderclap mini) and I've narrowed it down to the GTS2M and the WRM. What are the main differences, and which would you recommend?

Really, they're just different sizes. The GTS2M is bigger. Most prefer the WRM size.

Would it be worth it to go for the angstrom?

 

[Deleted member 51471]

Would it be worth it to go for the angstrom?

I mean, if you have a variety of lubes at home, and are good at setting up cubes, no. If you just have little lubes and don't really setup puzzles, you should buy it.

Considering the fact I have a grand total of 0 lubes and have setup 0 cubes, then I think I'd probably go for the angstrom

what is the best cheap 3x3?
