YJ MGC Elite, Moyu Weilong GTS2M, Dayan Tengyun M.
MGC is a decent cube, quite customisable. GTS2M is a solid cube overall, and the Tengyun is known for being really fast, really quiet, and having really weak magnets.

How good is The Valk 3?

How good is The Valk 3?

It's good, but kinda old. Some people still love it, but make sure you get a magnetized version

My friend has one, and I really like it.

 

[PetrusQuber]

You could mod the Tengyun yourself to have strong magnets

Maybe, but caps are apparently a pain.

Just get the V2 and adjust them.

He wants a mid range cube for a decent price.

Meilong M or Qiyi MS for 3x3?

Definitely MS

The ms is really fast, the meilong slower. I prefer the meilong, but if you have no lube get the ms. Also, the ms is the loudest cube I own, so if noise matters to you (or the people who you live with), then the meilong is better. On the objective stuff like cornercutting, they are basically identical, the ms might be slightly better though.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. What about for 4x4?

The MS is much bigger, so if you want a small cube get the meilong

Also for 3x3 you should consider the RS3M2020

I thought the RS3M 2020 had too weak magnets.

How good is The Valk 3?

Dont let the cubes age fool you, its still used by many, many cubers throughout the world, its my main next to the mystic wrm and I know that @Owen Morrison uses the original valk as his main. I think its the best mid-range cube (20$-30$)

 

[crazycuberwithgan354m]

You can probably get the mo yu mf3rs2, valk 3 etc.

 

[Silvio]

I have a Cyclone Boys 3x3, but I'd like to buy a new cube. I want a better cube than the one I have, but not so expensive.
I'm in doubt between the Gan 356 R, Valk 3, Qiyi Sail W and the Fellow Cube.
Which one do you guys like most?
I accept any other suggestion.

 

[Zarxrax]

You might want to check the new Moyu RS3M 2020. Lots of people have been mentioning it as a pretty great cube.

Don't get any of those, the are all not magnetic. There are plenty of great magnetic cubes under 10 dollars, including the RS3M 2020, Qiyi MS, Yuxin Kylin V2M, YJ Yulong V2 M, and Meilong M 3x3.

 

[PetrusQuber]

What is your budget? These are really great quality cubes for cheap mentioned by @Nmile7300 for cheap. Honestly budget cubes are taking the market by storm. I remember trying a NON MAGNETIC YLM at a comp and it was really good, comparable to my GTS2M except in some areas like stability and corner cutting.

 

[Zubin Park]

I would definitely get the RS3M 2020, and if you like stronger magnets, add on extra magnets for a dollar (on the Cubicle).

If you can get a magnetic Valk then go for it. It's one of my favorite cubes and despite being 4 years old its still widely used competitively, but if you cant get the Valk 3 in magnetic I would recommend the RS3M 2020 or Wuwei.

Did anyone have some bad experiences with the YJ Yuhu v2m?

 

[PetrusQuber]

Did anyone have some bad experiences with the YJ Yuhu v2m?

I have one, love it. Don’t have any other Mega, but it’s pretty good. Corner cutting is 45 and just under 30 for reverse. It’s smooth and quiet when lubed. Very controllable, no pops. Some main it over the Galaxy

 

[Cubingcubecuber]

Did anyone have some bad experiences with the YJ Yuhu v2m?

Only if you’re like me and don’t want to tension it on all 12 sides(though I did lube the springs lol)
Mine is is a bit too loose for my liking, but it only pops when I try extreme corner cutting at high TPS

@CuberStache used it for a while and he said it was amazing. According to him the grip is much better than it looks, and from reviews it seems to be on par with the Galaxy v2 and LM and better than the GAN. The only thing you should be aware if is that black pieces come separately, but you can get pre magnetized pieces from TC. It's also the same size as the Galaxy v1 so it might be a little big if your hands are tiny.
