honestly, Dayan Tengyun is the best you'll get for now

I would recommend the Moyu WRM, maybe one set up by the cubicle. Do you have any lubricants? those will definitely help make a cube smoother and faster.

MAX lubes are supposed to make your cube fast and effortless.

Yeah I bought the mixed tester pack from SCS

Do you have a link or a recommendation of a specific one?

Hey hey,

I need a recommendation on a 3x3 cube that is excessively fast/buttery and is very easy on your fingers. I wrestled in college and currently do jiu jitsu and occasionally my knuckles swell up and U turns just make my hands ache even after stretching my hands out. I’m not old yet but I can imagine I’ll have some hand problems down the road from all the usage. The problem is at the end of the day I want to cube and some days it just hurts. I have a bunch of cubes, the two lightest feeling ones being the GAN356 X V2 Magnetic and DaYaN TengYun M. I really enjoy the DaYaN but I’m looking for something that is possibly easier to turn. I do use very fast lubricant from SCS and that stuff is great but if I can use that in tandem with an even easier to turn cube that would help me out so much.

Thanks,

Rainger

I have a MeiLong and with medium magnets, it's extremely light turning.

Just watched a review. Looks awesome! I’ll try it out. Affordable too.

I'd say so! 3 bucks!

I may have the cubicle put magnets in there for me

Then you're looking at https://www.thecubicle.com/products...q=meilong 3* OR body:"meilong 3"&_ss=e&_v=1.0 -- Just make sure Jules makes it. He mains the MeiLong so he really, really know what he's doing. (And he uses Roux, which makes him my cubing twin.)

 

[Rainger]

Awesome thank you!

Just bought! Thanks.

I’ll try some new lubricant with my Dayan.

Yeah I bought the mixed tester pack from SCS

I have the gts3m so the same thing with ridges. Maybe I just need to use some different lube?

Gan 356 Air SM is so buttery, and so is the Valk Elite.

Gan 356 Air SM is so buttery, and so is the Valk Elite.

Is it worth it if I own a Gan 356 X V2? Or are they pretty similar?

 

[EvanTheCuber]

I Have the SM, and the Gan 356 X not V2. I don't know how the V2 feels, but my SM is on all Green springs my X is on all purple springs, and right now, the turning speed on the X is a tiny bit faster so the SM is certainly very fast, but the X is much more buttery.

the gan xs can be set to settings that is so fast you can do U3 with no trouble definitely recommend for speed stability and smoothness

Ok. Maybe I’ll wait for the next GAN cube then.

I am considering it. I just spent a lot on the 356 X so idk if they’re that different. I hear the XS is also popular for OH too.

I would say that the SM is more smooth. It's similar, but if you want the smoothest try the SM.
