2x2: is Moyu weipo WRS okay or are there better options?

well, if you want a budget 2x2 that feels like a flagship, get the YuPo v2 M

 

[SH03L4C3]

I may ask my parents for some cubes, a 4x4 and a 2x2.
4x4: I was thinking of the MGC, is there anything that I need to know before buying it?
2x2: is Moyu weipo WRS okay or are there better options?

for 2x2, this is the one time to listen to @TheCubingCuber347 qiyi ms

edit:never mind

I actually don't really like the MS 2x2. There are plenty of better options out there but the MS is still probably the best budget, with the exception of the MGC and Solar S.

If you really want a good one go with the Valk or Flair. The WRS, the Tengyun V2, and the newer GAN 2x2's are to expensive for a 2x2 and you won't really get better results on them. You could try the Xinghen TSM (the one that changes size) but that's a hit or miss.

You forgot the MGC Elite.

Interesting. I guess the MGC v1 is also pretty hit or miss, cause I actually would prefer the MS. The turns are much cleaner, and my MGC feels kinda gritty? I guess I haven't set it up properly. The MS is extremely fast though, and the MGC is much more controllable.

 

[SH03L4C3]

I still think Ms is the best option in the $6 range

Edit: Please find the latest suggestions in this thread here.

Ok, so I am really sick of people asking what kind of cubes should they get.
It seems that I have started the "The XXX Thread" wave at this forum, although some of the threads are pretty useful, the invarible title really annoys me.

anyway, as the tile have said, this thread is for those of you who does not know what cube you should buy or is struggling over choosing from a certain cubes. This thread is for questions, as some of the reviews on the forum may not satisfy your need.

Rules:
1. Please try to look at the previous posts to see if there are other people who are in the same dilemma as yours have already posted or being answered. This could save a lot of space in this thread, and make it easier both for people to answer or ask.
2. Please make sure that you talk about your preferances/choices, or maybe previous experiances that may affect your decision, with as much details as you can. I am really tired of people just posting the exterior of the cube without any descriptions at all at the cube ID thread. Giving as much details as possible will help us to find exactly the "best cube" for you.
3. Make sure you follow the rules, and be as nice as possible. I don't was to see stuffs like "Why would you want XXX? It's the worst cube ever" or "Only people with real mature tastes will like the AV. FIIs are for kids."



Soo, have fun!

I want a fast and quiet cube and not too expensive

Tengyun v1 is very fast and very quiet, but has a stability issue. The Tornado v2 M is also very fast and quiet, but does not corner cut as well as others. There isn't really one in the middle that I am aware of, so I would go with the tornado v2

Isn't the Zhanchi Pro m in the middle. It's pretty much the same as the Tengy V2 but more stable and lighter (Although I guess it's not the cheapest at 35USD)

I'm debating on whether to get the 2x2 mgc or dayan tengyun. which one should i get? it seems like most people like the mgc

 

[glxy]

Can anyone recommend me a quiet 3x3 for night time use?

The Tengyun v1 is a great choice. It has a low-pitched, soft, and extremely quiet sound.

And the tornado v2 m

I think pretty well agreed upon choices here

I'm more concerned they said valk 2's are going out of stock - I thought it was super popular? what is qiyi doing?

I think qiyi have ended the valk line completely and are not producing any more of them.

I really love my Valk 2, and I was really disappointed that TheCubicle took their premium setups off of their website.

doesn't make sense for qiyi as a business move - the valk2 is still a hit 2x2 after all these years. they really had something special with that cube
