[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

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.

Ngl your opinions on cubes are very different from most people's. Most people don't like the Monster Go (I have not tried it) Most people hate frosted plastic, most people love the RS3M 2020, and probably some other things.

to be fair, frosted plastic is good after solving a lot

A beginner doesn't "solve a lot"

 

[Tabe]

is the monster go better than rs3m

No. The RS3M 2020 is a lot better.

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

I prefer the MS. For me, I found the Meilong to be TOO small. My hands felt cramped while solving - and I don't exactly have huge hands. The MS is now my main, replacing the Valk.

News flash: the RS3M 2020 only comes in frosted plastic. The above statement contradicts itself.

Yea, the frosted plastic is the only thing most people don't like about it.

Literally the ONLY reason I don't main the RS3M 2020 is because of the frosted plastic, I use the WRM 2020 because it has similar performance and is available in stickered.

What about it don't you like compared to a "normal" stickerless cube?

I should make a compilation video of every time I have dropped a frosted plastic cube.

If my computer can handle uploading 10+ hours of footage

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

LOL. In a very relatable note just a few solves ago i dropped my new RS3M 2020. Tried to undo my mistake and ended up just having to re-solve from F2L. I wonder if you can tell which solve it was... The RS3M 2020 is still an amazing cube and most likely my new main.

 

[slowcuberof2020]

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

But the rs3m 2020's magnets are too weak

 

[Spacey10]

But the rs3m 2020's magnets are too weak

...which is why there is an extra magnet kit that makes the magnets stronger...

 

[Kaneki Uchiha]

i like the magnets that come ootb

 

[Micah Morrison]

But the rs3m 2020's magnets are too weak

Yes they are too weak, it felt like a non magnetic cube ootb to me. Which is why there's an extra magnet kit (or it comes with the extra magnets if you buy from speedcubing.org). They literally take 3 minutes to install and don't require more knowledge than what's needed to disassemble and assemble a cube.

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

But the rs3m 2020's magnets are too weak

I thought that too but after a few hundred solves i think they may be just right for the speed. The additional magnet kit is only $1 too though to change the feel.

Edit: Didn't see Micah's post above when i just commented.

My mains:3x3 - Qiyi Warrior S
2x2- Dunno what it is but I think it is a gem or legend
Planning to get:
Pyra: Qiyi MS
Mega: YJ Yuhu V2 M
Skewb: XMD Wingy
4x4: Dunno , suggest a good budget one

Any other recommendations?
EDIT: I finally got to know what my 2x2 is. It is a Mofang JiaoShi Meilong 2x2

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

what size (in mm) are the magnets in the gan 356m?

Meilong M or Qiyi MS for 4x4.

Meilong M or Qiyi MS for 4x4.

Maybe get a better 2x2, like an MGC or YuPo v2M

 

[Cubing5life]

Meilong M or Qiyi MS for 4x4.

Or the MGC.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

What's a good, slow speed cube? I realised that I turn very aggressively and would like a cube that compliments my turn style

Or the MGC.

Yea MGC best

You could try to slow down basically any cube with some heavy lube (traxxas 50k, etc.).
