In my opinion, if the price difference is not big, I would buy Mgc cuz it’s widely used but if there is a big difference, u could get the yu cubes

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I think the cheaper yj cubes are a bit smaller but still magnetised. Jperm says that the 5x5 is good for ppl who have small hands but if u want to get really into big cubes like 6x6 or 7x7, I would get the moyu bunch but they are quite a bit more expensive. I would say that the Mgc is good for big hands and the ’yu‘ bunch are good for small hands

In my opinion, if the price difference is not big, I would buy Mgc cuz it’s widely used but if there is a big difference, u could get the yu cubes

I would only recommend yushi 6x6 out of the yu series (tried all 567)
For MGC, all 567 are very good. (MGC 4 is nowhere as good IMO coz it's just huge and bulky for a 4x4, also pop a lot more)

What cube should I get. My main is the tornado V3 maglev but I'm starting to like it less. I deleted my other post about this because I accidentally put it in the wrong thread.

The tornado v3 is a top of the line cube, but you could also try out the YS3M or whatever the newest gan cube is nowadays

Is the GAN 12 Maglev for me if I like the Moretry Tianma x3 Snap?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I have a Tengy2 (thats my nickname for it) and if you don't fiddle with the screws, my axis distance and spring compression are at the second-highest setting.

The Wingy V2 is a good option if you like the feel of the Tornado V3. You should try it out, especially since it doesn't cost very much for you. Not too big a loss.

I’ve heard that the corner cutting of the wingy v2 is lacking, is that an issue?

I main a UV GAN Skewb, and have aoyan skewb as my backup. I have weilong & rs those but I prefer the aoyan over these. I wanna ask if the wingy v2 is better than the aoyan and are the normal and reverse corner cutting better than the aoyan?

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

Normal cuts take less effort and reverse is a touch better. I've only tried it at comps as I don't own one but I do remember that it was good.

GAN 12 would be good, but forgo the maglev as it can get uncontrollable. Get the springed Leap instead, but if you really want maglev, add slower lubes

I’ve heard that the wingy v2 pops a lot, is that a problem

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

It pops as much as the Wingy V1, and you say it doesn't pop often. As long as you don't go with too loose of a setting, you should be okay

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

Would the Zhilong Mini 3x3 be too small for OH?

Maglev better

Yes. The M slices are too thin. Get the guhong v3 if you’re on budget, and get the uv gan mini m pro if you want the best cube for OH, the M slices of the gan mini M pro are as thick as the gan 11 m pro, just that the corners are made smaller. The centre caps of gan mini M pro can be swapped with gan 11 m pro.

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

Maglev better

The reason I don't recommend it is that it feels too uncontrollable but I do have a very accurate (albeit aggressive) turning style so if you turn lighter, it would probably be better than the Leap. But you do you, I suppose.

My gf has a gan 12 M leap UV coated by me, but it isn’t really that great. I was thinking if the gan 12 maglev is better, or just the settings are not the best.
What are the best setting combinations for the gan 12 M leap? I normally won’t struggle with setting up a 3x3 that much but it’s just too different from other moyu 3x3s than I’m used to, like normally I would expect the cube to be more controllable with stronger magnet settings, but it just turns faster with stronger magnet settings due to it’s unique mechanism.

Also her gan 12 m leap always accidentally do wide moves especially F & F’. I tried my best to set it up, but I just can’t find the right settings for it as I am not very familiar with gan 3x3s.
Anyway, she has just ordered a UV Coated GAN 11 M Pro with Ruihang’s signature setup from Pi Cube, and she’s now using my Pi Cube Premium UV Coated YS3M with custom blue nuts.
However, we still want to try fix her GAN 12. Is it just the problem with the leap version and I better get a maglev one?

If popping can be fixed by proper setup, how does it compare to the gan enhanced after well setup (I know the gan is gd ootb, but I don’t mind to setup the wingy if it got potential)

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

It has a really unique feeling and is more stable than the GAN Enhanced. Use lighter lube like Martial or Weight 1 as it can get a bit slow after prolonged usage.

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

I just realized I wrote Martial instead of Martian. Guess typing the word martial is really an art in itself (please stop me)
