It's a third party(?) lube that some people want to sell, so they're doing it through stores. The Cubicle has it and so does speedcubing.org @cuber314159

Yes, I assume you are referring to adheron and lubest which are lubricants made by strefa-kostek which is a polish cube store.

I would say RS3M 2020, it seems to be the best bang for your buck.

RS3M 2020 for sure.

I will say again that I think the MoYu 3M is a better cube than the RS3M 2020. And a little cheaper to boot.

But if you are insistent on spending more than $10 for a new cube, I'd go with either a MonsterGo 3x3 Magnetic or a GTS3M.

yea lubest

 

[nihadahd]

is the RS3M 2020 better than MGC3ELITE and VALK 3M(not VALK ELITE)
btw thanks for everyone's advice

 

[zslane]

I don't think anyone can really say what would be better/best for you. They can, however, tell you which their favorite is among them, for whatever that will benefit you.

Most modern magnetic cubes are virtually the same, so it mostly comes down to personal preference. The RS3M 2020 is very popular among a lot of cubers and not too expensive. The Valk 3 M is very simple but solid, suits a wide variety of cubers, and has been popular for an insanely long time. The MGC Elite is great if you want to try out a more customizable cube for a reasonable price, and while not used by many pros, is a solid flagship.

You could try dailypuzzles.au. Since it's based in australia, delivery shouldn't be too much (maybe 10USD???)

The shipping at DailyPuzzles is 16 USD to Singapore

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

yea it was just an estimate

Is the Tengyun 2x2 just as quiet as the original 3x3 is? Rather, is it as quiet comparatively to other 2x2s on the market as the 3x3 is?

I don’t main the 3x3 but I find it’s silence quite useful at times and my MGC2x2 is crazy loud when I’m just spamming algs for practice.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

It's definitely just as quiet.

is the monster go better than rs3m

I think reviews have mentioned it to be quieter.
That kind of makes sense if you think about it.

is the QiYi MS 5x5 or the Meilong 5 M better?

 

[cuber314159]

is the QiYi MS 5x5 or the Meilong 5 M better?

I prefer the QiYi MS personally, the meilong is smaller but I don't like it as much. The MGC is also worth considering as it is £2 more but I would still recommend the QiYi MS

 

[Spacey10]

is the monster go better than rs3m

I would say RS3M 2020 for the win

 

[Owen Morrison]

is the monster go better than rs3m

From what I've heard, the Monster go is BAD, so definitely get the RS3M 2020

 

[zslane]

From what you've heard? Have you tried a MonsterGo 3x3 magnetic? I have and I liked it enough to buy a second one. The RS3M 2020 is good, yes, but I feel it is getting a reputation way beyond what it deserves at this point.
