Well I’m pretty sure all the Gan cubes are really really similar, and in reviews, people have said a magnetised RS is basically an XS, so yeah.

You could just spend a few dollars on magnets and superglue, magnetise it, and it’ll be more stable (lots of people say it really needs magnets)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think about this, but this cube is my main and if i make a mistake when i magnetise it(i have never magnetise a cube)

The cubicle pro shop little magic M is $19.99. I bought this when I had the same $20 budget. This is a great option to get a cube professionally setup, lubed, and its magnetic all within your budget. A good YLM is on par with other flagships in my opinion.

After exploring a bunch of other flagships (GanXS, tengyun, mgc3elite) I still main the YLM.

I actually don't live in America, but i'll look at the cube

It’s not too hard, just do some research on how to do it, and don’t make a stupid mistake. And if you mess up something, it’s likely fixable (superglue on outside? Believe me, saliva and some other things can dissolve it. Wrong polarity? Dig it out with a screw driver.

The Qiyi MS, from what I've heard is really good, Phill Yu and some others have started using it as their mains

In my country they are not available

Hmmmm is the YJ YuLong a good cube?

I can't buy any magnets

and also the non-magnetic valk 3? Is it good?

Where do you live roughly?(Country)

Also you can edit your post (find the button on your post) to include more questions rather than posting several times.

The valk 3 M was my former main along with a valk elite. Its honestly 100% worth spending a few extra bucks to get a magnetic one but if you absolutely cant go over budget I would get the Wuwei

 

[Owen Morrison]

The YJ Yulong V2 M is a great cheap option.

We at speedcubing.org have shipped to Bulgaria before and can do so again. I recommend the QiYi MS 3x3 (£8) or the meilong M (£10). If you need something more stable than get the wuwei (£13) and thunderclap v3m if you want something really fast then get the thunderclap v3m (£9)

Hey, I think I wanna get into megaminx more. What is the best megaminx: The Yuhu, Galaxy v2, or Gan?

Galaxy. Some people will debate for Gan, but the price tag is daunting

Galaxy V2 U think

Ok guys here is my only complaint about this thread. People post answers to questions about cubes that they don’t have. PLEASE don’t do this. I don’t know about other people, but for me it is blatantly obvious when someone has two cubes and tells you which is better, and when you watched a Jperm video and he said that one was better than the other, so you go on to post that. Also, don’t just say that one is supposed to be better. Only give recommendations if you have both of the cubes.
Like all the rest of my posts recently, it is quite clear that I have been doing nothing all day lol I should get a life

Why are you complaining about popular threads? Anyway, I can only speak for myself, but even if I don't own both cubes, I make sure I know what I'm talking about before giving recommendations.

Yes I understand that I am double posting, but the two posts are two completely different topics, so I’m going to do it just this once
Edit: I guess this doesn’t apply anymore. Wow that took a long time to write

Can the Gan 356 RS M compete with the GTS 3 in terms of performance? they are pretty cheap.

I have the RS M and a GTS3M. I’m going to assume you are talking abut the non magnetic gts3. Here we go:
My GTS3 M is the faster of the two cubes. They have similar cornercutting. The GTS3M is very smooth, while the Gan is bumpy due to the honeycomb. Lube maintenance on the Gan is obnoxious, while it is fairly low for the GTS3M. I average the same on both, maybe 1/10 seconds faster on the GTS3M. However, using the unmagnetic Gan, my times were about three seconds slower. I would imagine the same would probably be true about an magnetic gts3. The performance on the rsm and gts3m are basically identical, but if I has to pick, I would pick the gts3m, simply because of the obnoxious amount of lube I have to put in my rsm. However, if you are talking about an unmagnetic gts3, then the Gan rsm would 100% be the way to go.

Anyway, I can only speak for myself, but even if I don't own both cubes, I make sure I know what I'm talking about before giving recommendations.

I’m fine with that, so long as “knowing what I’m talking about” means more than watching a few unboxings
I’m only double posting because I can’t figure out how to add quotes in editing. Is that possible? Thanks

Haven't tried the new Yuhu though it's apparently really good. I have, however, used the Galaxy v2M and V2LM and the Gan. The V2 LM is definitely the best of those three. It has a better size and is faster than the original v2 and doesn't have the terrible grip of the Gan.

Thumbs down, Small cubes ftw

I like my Gan RS but I really want a customizable cube that would fit my aggressive turning. What flagships coming out rn should I get if I want strong springs and magnets?
