I couldn’t find a thread dedicated to Pochmann super cube stickers. Does anyone from the days of old have recommendations for older cubes that will successfully accept 3x3 & 4x4 Pochmann super cube sticker sets? Looking to buy stickers and a cube to put them on. Thanks.

!!Unpopular opinion alert!!
2x2 used to be my favourite event but I barely practice it now. My only 2x2 though is the MGC and I don't really like it as
1.It's too big for me as I have small hands
2.It's kinda clunky
3.It's a bit too uncontrollable for me and when I tighten the screws it's too stiff
Any suggests for a small mid-range cube or lube I could put in the MGC to make it better

If it's "too big", "kinda clunky", and "too stiff", then lube definitely isn't the problem, it's the cube. The MGC 2x2 doesn't suit everyone's preferences. I would suggest you get the tengyun 2x2 because it's small, buttery, controllable, and easy to set up.

bell v2 needs loosening and set up to be good, and once it is it's very good

mine is set up already. I still experience minor catching. But I will loosen it more since it has a good anti pooping mechanism

Its my birthday this week, my 4x4 Meilong M catches really bad Bad catching (streamable.com), my inaccurate turning probably could use some work but looking for a smooth, stable 4x4 that corner cuts well, again. Its my birthday so no budget in mind, based off personal research, The Asou WR M has really good corner cutting and I can slow it down with Traxxas 50k, the YJ Zhisu and MGC I have also been told are really smooth cubes

This seems like it is too lose. Might wanna tighten it.
I would say try the Zhisu
its a risk but you can still return it if you dont like it

Is the Dayan Tengyun v2 worth buying?

I main it, but I think that there are better options for a lower price (namely, the RS3M 2020), which also leaves you with more money to buy other cubes!

Aosu WRM is good, as is the MGC (though the MGC is meant to be more mid range).
Not sure about the Zhisu
Good but you can find better for less and slightly more.
Aosu WRM, or Aosu GTS2M.
WRM is smaller and smoother I hear, but GTS2M is bigger and stable I think

I would sat your best bets are the WRM and the MGC, although I like the little magic a lot.
@DNF_Cuber please don't hurt me

How about the MGC? how do the two YJ cubes compare?
SH03L4C3
Veteran
the MGC is just a bigger option, and it has a slightly better mechanism. However, it is much bigger than the Meilong

It's only 1 mm bigger than the meilong, and if you are willing to go from 59mm to 60mm then I would say get the MGC

Mgc 2 elite, valk 2 or tengyun 2×2?
I am looking for something with weak - moderate strength magnets and good corner cutting.
I am looking for something with weak - moderate strength magnets and good corner cutting.
Going to buy a bunch of cubes at Ziicube, what do you think I should get ?
I have no 2x2, but a yupo V2M and MGC Elite on the way. And the Tengyun V1 as everybody loves that.
For 3x3 I love my GTS3M - Fast and strong magnets. I use the RS3M 2020 with 2mm N35 and fast lube most (Saving the GTS3M for fast solves). I have the Thunderclap V3M in the car, which I think is a little uncontrollable and weak magnets.
I will get:
MGC 7x7 - This is a no brainer. Love my MGC 6x6.
QiYi MS Pyraminx (first pyra)
Cycloneboys Skewb (first Skewb)
Advice needed
I want an extra 2x2 for my son, and one extra for car/work. Possible one cheaper to give away so 2-3 pcs. Not necerarily the same. Narrowed it down to:
QiYi MS 2x2
Meilong 2x2
MGC 2x2 (likely to get it for myself - Seems Ziicube is cheating a bit with shipping. This one adds $9 including shipping no matter basket size/weight, price $5.67)
Yupo V2M (for my son ?)
For 3x3, I have what I need, but thinking about something for giveaway / cheap sale.
3x Meilong 3x3 (for giveaway).
Thinking of getting a GuHung V4M and/or Tengyun V2M. But not sure if I like them. Or if I should skip them for now. Don't really need them. The Thunderclap might go to work.
Any other suggestions ?

For the 3x3 giveaway, Meilong M (the new magnetic one) is really good apparently.
For the 3 2x2s, MGC and Qiyi MS imo
Make sure to do some video research though
But cubes are really individual taste. Some like one, another dislikes it calling it too fast. Some like weak magnets other strong. Yupo V2M seems to be the most widely recommended discount 2x2. And it is exactly same price as the QiYi MS ($3.02 + shpping).
Just noticed the MS is much newer, which is likely one reason it is not as much recommended. reviews are good.
