what is the difference between the v1 and v2?

the v1 is more simple, the v2 has tensioning system and adjustable magnets, I like the v1 better, but some main the v2 like @BenChristman1

If dayan does make a tengyun v3, i want it to be like the guhong v4 but stronger magnets, more customization (NOT LIKE THE V2 THOUGH), and less fragile plastic.
Giiker i3se or the GAN 356i V2 ?
Assume they are same price.
Have the giiker. Smooth turning, strong magnets, little corner cut. But stickers starting to come off after a few weeks. So I think I want the GAN. And found it at slightly under what I paid for the still returnable giiker.

Gan 356 i Carry is available for pre-order, I think it's the best smart cube

I highly reccomend the rubiks connected. You can get replacement custom stickers form TC

there's nothing wrong with stickers. they don't peel or chip much unless you intentionally damage it
My giiker has chipped stickers after 3 weeks. I know they can be replaced. But I hate that when all my other cubes are it stickered. But since I can get the GAN for $40-ish brand new with gyro, that is tempting.
The worst thing about helping my son with LEGO is to put stickers on.

giiker has low quality stickers it seems, most cubes don't have chipping issues

If you're talking about the new Gan I carry, it doesn't have gyroscope, but it seems to perform well.
This is from the Gan I carry description in The Cubicle:

Decided to return the bad stickered Giiker, and wait for the GAN i Carry.
But still ordered more cubes to try out and possible give away.
GuHong V4 (x2) + Tengyun V2r. I did not like my Tengyun V1 initially, but after using only that for a few days, and my Thunderclap V3 (Close to Valk Power M I read) as travel, I decided I like this style of cubes. Still prefers my GTS3M for fast solves, but I use the others for everything untimed. I am surprised how little I like my RS3M (extra magnets, lubed faster) compared to the other fast cubes now. I used to like it more than the Thunderclap/Tengyun V1. Expect that 1 GuHong might become a travel/work cube.
YJ Mirror as my first mirror/shape shift.
Meilong 3M + YLM (x2) + Another RS3M (mostly for trying/giveaway)

Do you guys think the Valk 3 M is a good speedcube in 2021?
Been wondering about this. A top cube from 2016. Do you think that it could be main worthy in 2021?

yes, I think some top solvers (not sure which, someone should fill this in) still use it.
actually many cubes from 2017 and 2018 are still good speedcubes. you could probably get world class times with a little magic m, or valk m, or gts2m, even with a budget cube

Yes, the Valk 3 M is main worthy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Indian NR holder uses the Valk 3 M. I was viewing his livestream when someone said the Valk 3 M's were going out of production. He was sad.
