X-Man Galaxy Megaminx v2 M Concave Black ($8)

Self-magnetised QiYi QiHeng S M Sculpted Stickless ($6)

Also selling some good megaminxes for cheap like below $10

 

[Owen Morrison]

Alright, I will get the YuHu V2. For a more advanced cuber, would the GAN be worth it?

Dayan V2 is significantly better than the Gan and half the price

Then that will be my 2nd megaminx

 

[Discomantis]

Does anyone know what magic and master magic I should buy?

Which 3x3 feels most like a controllable Valk2?
I might break my long hiatus of buying cubes to get one

any other answers for this? i'm tempted to get the tornado v3

The rs3m 2020 is much more controllable but I like the tornado v3 pioneer and the moretry tianma x3 snap more just because they are super fast.

I love my Valk2 but it always seems a little slow and heavy. Not really a problem at my solving speed but it is slightly tiring to turn fast.
Any recommendations for a light speedy puzzle?

Do mgc spring swap on Valk 2

which MGC?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

which MGC?

Original mgc 2x2, the cheap one

 

[Tabe]

Yep, do the spring swap with the original MGC. Makes a big difference.

Or just buy the MS.

Rs2m evo can be the other option

For the Valk 2 you can just do that thing everyone did with the WuQue and compress the springs. My friend had actually clipped the springs on his Valk 2 by a quarter coil and he said it worked well. If its still too slow, clip about another 1/3 of a coil. Or, you know, get the MP 2x2 or something.

I know this is an old-ish cube but is the Thunderclap V3 M still good? I want a quiet and cheap travel/out-and-about cube because I don't want to risk either of my Tengyuns.

The Thunderclap is good but not quiet.

The Thunderclap is good but not quiet.

Huh. I thought it was told to be relatively quiet. Any other quiet cubes that are cheap?

I want to buy a new 3x3, and I'm confused between the Super RS3M Ball-Core and the Tornado V3. I'm not on a budget, so I need suggestions. I am leaning towards the tornado V3, and I saw a video on youtube comparing both of these cubes, and he told that the super RS3M is "blocky". Can anyone explain me this term, and is this "blocky" feeling also on other MoYu cubes such as RS3M 2020 and 2021?

Super ball core sucks. Heavy catchy locky mess. Maglev super is a lot better. But still nowhere as good as the tornado v3.

does "blocky" mean catchy?

Objectively, i think the super ball core can only fit cubers who like that specific feel. The tornado v3 can pretty much be setup to fit any one as it is highly customisable.
