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

The Moretry Tianma X3 is really good, I prefer the V3, and a bonus is that they are reasonably cheap

What's a good magnetic skewb to get, that's cheaper than 25 USD?

Hi!

I was just wondering. I am thinking of getting my first timer and mat. But there is so many different ones. You have the Gan and the G4 and G5 and so on. What are your recommendations?

 

[UncleFrank]

Moyu aoyan, wingy V2, or wingy v1.

What about the new Moyu RS magnetic skewb? $9usd.
Too new, nobody has it yet?

Which Pyraminx to get?
Qiyi MS
YLM
Moyu Weilong (standard, non-maglev)
Moyu RS (standard, non-maglev)

Or is the RS too new to really know what it's like, nobody has it yet?

Does anyone have the Qiyi MS 2x2 and 3x3? I have the 4x4 and for a budget cube, its really neat and I like the way it turns, although the magnets are weak. Are the 2x2 and 3x3 similar?

Any reviews on the Moyu RS Skewb?

MS 2x2 is a great cube. It has a soft yet slightly snappy feeling, and performance is excellent.
The 3x3 is a bit different, some like it, some don't. It's quite stable, and very loud, but it also has very good performance. They are both very fast do some heavy silicon is good to slow them down

I have the 2x2 and I really like how it feels; it's fast yet controllable. For me, I actually had to do a lot of set up to get the cube how I like it; interesting because a lot people on YouTube really like it out of the box. Like Eli said, it is very fast and needs to have something done to it for it to be slowed down. Super great budget 2x2 hands down; highly recommend!

I heard both of these pyraminxes are very good but which one should I get?

Hey yall. My birthday is in September and people are asking for birthday ideas. Of course, I’m gonna ask for cubes. But I need recommenations. Under 25-30 dollars preferably. Here are the cubes I’m looking for:
a 6x6, a 7x7, a fisher cube, a mastermorphix, a kilominx, and a 2x2x3. If you have recommendations for any of these, pls tell. Thanks

For 6x6 and 7x7, YJ MGC are the most recommended, but they're $25 and $35. If you're on a budget, then YJ Yushi V2 M and YJ Yufu V2 M, $16 and $20.

For 2x2x3, get the Qiyi. Ditto for the kilominx.

Hey! I have a few cubes I’m looking to upgrade:
1. The Yuxin Little magic M 3x3. There aren’t any particular reasons I want an upgrade for this, I just lost it. If anything, I want something that feels a bit better. I want something >30$. I’m currently looking at the Tornado V2 M (I would like a quiet cube, not a requirement. I also like the amount of customization but I worry about the reverse corner cutting), or the WR M 2021 (what is the difference between the lite, magnetic core, and maglev versions?? I know what maglev is, just not really how it makes a difference).
2. The MoFang Jiaoshi Meilong 2x2. This doesn’t have magnets which is something that I dislike. It also feels like if I tighten it it’s too slow and hard to cornercut, but when I loosen it it becomes unstable. Im currently looking at the MGC, MGC Elite, or the Valk 2. I’m leaning towards the MGC as I would prefer something a bit cheaper. My question: is the MGC Elite/Valk 2 worth double the cost?
3. The MoFang Jiaoshi Meilong pyraminx. The spring noise is sooo annoying and it lacks magnets. Currently looking at the Qiyi MS. Some people have said the YLM is better, but from what I can tell, it’s not magnetized, right?

Thanks for reading, and I’m open to any other recommendations beyond what I’ve mentioned!

 

[UncleFrank]

2. other budget 2x2s to consider - Qiyi MS and YJ Yupo V2 M, but I think the MGC is a better choice. Valk line discontinued, lots of places already sold out.

3. There is a Little Magic and there is a Little Magic M (which is magnetized). The YLM M is the one that has been most often recommended. There's also the new Moyu RS and Moyu Weilong pyraminxes.

The 2x2 is godly if you are OK with a little bit of catching. It is like a hollow, better version of a Valk, IMO.
The 3x3 is a little clacky but insanely good. The RS3M 2020 is better, but this is a (close?) second.

6x6: MGC
7x7: MGC
Fisher Cube: Qiyi
Mastermorphix: Shengshou
Kilominx: Qiyi
2x2x3: Qiyi

That is $31 for the Non-WCA, $35 for the 7x7 and $25? ish for the 6x6 = $91
