I am looking for a nice, stable 3x3 that is not the valk 3. A nice backup would be great as my wrm 2021 maglev is dead and i lost my rs3m.
It would also help if it was under 30 dollars

What are some good 3x3s under $20 USD (except QiYi MS)?

RS3M 2020 and 2021:Weak magnets, heavy slower cube
Guhong V4:Breaks VERY often but is smooth and light
Meilong 3M: A smooth cube, frosted plastic. Fairly light. Everything about this cube is good but the reverse corner cutting, which I personally don't like
If you're willing to spend a couple more dollars, you can buy the tengyun, weilong wrm 2021 or the tornado v2.

Rude.
The Meilong M is a very nice feeling cube. The YLM M is super fast. The RS3M is what the current market is defined by.

guhong v3: guhong v4 but smaller and doesn't break, a little less smooth and more blocky. similar satisfying sandy feel, excellent performance

MGC:
Pros - Fast, flexible, good corner cutting, low price, responds well to lube.
Cons - Pops easily, difficult to reassemble.
Ambition:
Pros - Stable, decently quick, almost never pops, very easy to reassemble.
Cons - Not very easy to lube, doesn't have the best corner cutting.
WRM -
Pros - Fast, flexible, responds well to lube, small.
Cons - Expensive, takes a lot of break in, corner cutting is meh.

So MGC is the Best?
Not exactly. Every cube has its own benefits over the others. It really all depends on your turning style. Different cubes work better/worse for different people.

But if it is the first 4×4 i buy it is a good choice?

Many people prefer the MGC and for the low price it's hard to go wrong. Personally I dislike nearly everything about it. It has that MGC feel, which I dislike, it's frosted, it's sandy, it's way too fast, it feels cheap. Not my cup of tea.
Personally I love the Ambition, it's a reasonable price, it's glossy, it has primary internals, it's very stable, decently fast but not too fast. The shades are great, it is (very controversial opinion ahead) very easy to set up, and it's all around just a pleasure to turn. Many people complain about the corner cutting and it is lacking and reverse but I don't find it a huge issue. It does get usage by top solvers but not nearly as much as the MGC.
If it's your first 4x4 it's probably best to get the MGC. It's only $20 and most people love it. If you want to be risky or you have an uncommon preference in your cubes (like me) then I'd recommend the Ambition.

The MGC is not frosted.

Strange. I've tried an MGC 4x4 and 6x6 and I own a MGC Square-1. All are definitely disgustingly frosted unless modding is done. Are new batch's better or were old batches glossy and new ones are frosted?

I have all of the MGC big cubes (4-7) and none of them are frosted. I have 2 MGC 4x4's. I bought one in mid 2021, and one in mid 2022. None have ever been frosted.

Hi,
I‘m Philipp and i recently decided to pick up cubing again. I am currently relearning all the PLLs and I average around 30s. So I habe a few questions.
1. Does anyone know when online shops are going to have the gan13 in stock?
2. I currently have the rs3m 2020. It‘s starting to feel a little old and the turning is getting harder. That‘s why I‘m planning to buy lube and a second 3x3 because I‘m going to need one anyway for comps etc.
I‘m not sure if I should wait until the gan 13 is available or if i should just buy the 12 or even the 11m pro as there are many youtubers that have bad things to say about the gan maglev. I‘m also open to other brands and cubes like the wrm 2021 or the tornado v2 or even the v3 when it comes out.
3. I‘m also planning to buy other puzzles. What‘s your favorite 2x2 and pyraminx?
4. which lubes would you buy?
For the 3x3 the price doesn‘t matter bit would be nice if the other cubes are under 20$ each. It would be nice if anyone can give opinions about the cubes above.
