I know somebody who wants to get into 4x4 but turns very aggressively, any suggestions for a good cube?

Probably the gts2 m.

 

[Kgr]

Does it need setup?

 

[abunickabhi]

The YJ MGC 4x4 is good for an aggressive turner. It works well for me, and I have rough turning yo.

 

[AbsoRuud]

Teach them to not turn aggressively instead.

I think im gonna go with the mgc bc its cheaper thanks for all ur help

Which cube is quieter between the Moyu WR M Maglev and the GAN 12 Maglev?

Which cube is quieter between the Moyu WR M Maglev and the GAN 12 Maglev?

Definitely WRM. Gan 12 Maglev has too much clacking noises when the magnets snap.

Which Megaminx comes with replaceable Black pieces, I'm starting to hate Grey.

Which Megaminx comes with replaceable Black pieces, I'm starting to hate Grey.

The XMD Galaxy V2 m and V2 LM come with extra black pieces but YJ and Dayan sell black pieces separately for the Yuhu v2 m and Dayan v2 m. Gray is an annoying LL colour because it doesn't really pop out but I find that if you replace tan/beige/cream with gray, it's much better after you get used to it, it also makes you look unique. If you want to be even cooler I would recommend you switch purple and orange.

I have no issue with Tan tbh, it's the Grey that doesn't stand out enough for me.

I use Grey because in Nigeria we are taught British English and in British English it's grey. American English uses gray

Miine is very dark gray, so I don't think there's any problem with my cubes' color scheme.


But my Hungarian Supernova is non-magnetic, has difficulty doing 10 degree reverse corner cutting, and locks up every two seconds

Does anyone have pyraminx recommendations? Just one that is magnetic and fairly cheap (I know of some but idk which one is best)? Also, is the only good clock the Qiyi magnetic one? I was considering competing in clock in comp but if all of the cheaper ones are terrible than I won't buy one and compete (I don't want to spend $30 on the Qiyi clock when I don't think clock will be one of my main events ever).

The other "which cube should I get" thread has all the current most recommended puzzles in the [updated] first post - https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/which-cube-should-i-get-up-to-date-recommendations.70960/

Yuxin Little Magic M is one of the most recommended pyraminxes, budget or not.

Some people hate it, but a lot of people think the Shengshou/Sengso clock is a decent clock. I think everyone pretty much agrees that it's definitely better than the Lingao, and it can definitely be made better with a little bit of setup, like this -

Cubes similar to WRM 2021 (non-maglev)?
And good OH cubes? (55mm or less because I don't like 56+mm)

I've heard the mgc evo is quite similar, but the valk elite is as well.
The tornado V2 works wonderfully for OH, as does the wuwei..

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

And good OH cubes? (55mm or less because I don't like 56+mm)

Valk 3m, Valk Elite m, Qiyi WuWei, XMD Tornado v2m, Valk mini (might be too small), Thunderclap v3, Guhong v4, Guhong v3 are all solid choices for OH under 56mm. I personally switch between the WuWei and the Valk Elite.

The 55.5mm Valk 3m is a very solid, controllable cube and is very popular for OH.
The 55.5mm Valk Elite is light, snappy, and stable with swapable magnetic caps.
The 55mm Wuwei is fast and very flexible.
The 54.5mm Tornado v2 is smaller and very customizable.
The 47.5mm Valk mini is the Valk but mini.

The other cubes I do not own but I have heard from different people (and Ducks) that they are great options.

Edit: Yes, most of these are Qiyi cubes, they're that good.

 

[Timona]

Are there actual humans that use or main any of the MoreTry cubes, I usually never hear about it unless a someone does a review of it. How does it feel and how quiet is it?

What 3x3 should I get if I want a high-quality 3x3 that looks good and turns relatively fast, pre-setup is okay.

I use an Rs3m

There are tons of options, my top recommendations would be the qiyi MS, Valk 3 M, Moyu wr m 2019 or 2020, and the gan 11.

And good OH cubes? (55mm or less because I don't like 56+mm)

YJ Zhilong/Zhisu Mini M is 50mm.
Dayan Guhong V3 M is 54mm.
Tornado V2 M is 55mm.
Dayan Tengyun V1 M is 55mm.
Gan 354 M is 54mm.
Gan Mini M Pro, aka 11 M Pro Mini, is 53mm.

If you look at Cubicle, at the 3x3 page, look at the filters to sort them. One filter is "Dimensions".
