[Help Thread] Puzzle Recommendations

[Dutchy]

Hello! I've got an Air SM and thinking of getting a new secondary maybe primary cube beside it. And if you have any experience on them, which one would you recommend me more: Valk Elite M or Gts3 LM or I tought of the Gan 356X too. Thankss

 

[BenChristman1]

I personally would say so but some would disagree, the aosu WRM is faster and the magnets are weaker, it's also smaller.

How are the MGC’s magnets compared with the strong version of the Valk 4?

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

MGC, because I've heard that the RS4M is locky.
Eyyyyy 1000th reply!!

FWIW I upgraded from YLM to MGC on 4x4 and was quite pleased

 

[SH03L4C3]

Dont get RS4M.

Try the Guhong V4

The other day I was sorting through my collection. I realized I had no stickered WCA puzzles. I want to get a stickered 3x3 so I can experience it. What is the best budget stickered 3x3 with good stickers that don't peel off. Magnetic would be best but its ok if not.

Guhong V4M

I think I only ever got the standard valk 4 so I can't really compare, the magnets are stronger than most 4x4s but not too strong.

Try the Guhong V4

Do the stickers last long?

Do the stickers last long?

As long as any other cube

 

[SH03L4C3]

ok thanks

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

ok thanks

I am a sticker purist/fanatic/snob/fanatic/enthusiast...I’ve only had my GuHong v4 about a month but I can tell the stickers are not trash and will last. This cube has the great Dayan orange but also a deeper red and blue than my Dayan 2x2 and TengYun v1. I’d recommend it for your first stidkered 3x3! It’s in the higher end of “budget” 3x3s but that is definitely reflected in the performance. It’s an amazing puzzle and one I’m happy to solve on daily!

Is there one in a cheaper range like under $10.
What about hte qiyi MS?

There's the Qiyi MS, Moyu RS3M 2020, Yuxin Little magic M, YJ Yulong v2 M, and Moyu Meilong M. The two best are the most expensive, being the RS3M, and MS. The Yulong is also good, but the MS is better IMO. If I were you I would just get the RS3M, and If you really want to save a dollar go with the Qiyi MS. The meilong M and Little Magic M are not as good as their premium, non-factory magnetic counter parts, so I would stay away. There's also the thunderclap V3 M, which is basically the same as the MS but more expensive.

Dayan Guhong V4M better than all of those

I have the RS3m

Ooooo, someone else that likes stickers I see. The MS is probably your best bet, along with the Thunderclap V3. The rest of them don't come in
sickered.

Dayan Guhong V4M better than all of those

He wanted Under $10

For the under $10 range I’d recommend the MS or yulong V2M. The MS is very blocky and feels like a less polished/nice valk 3M. The yulong conversely is smoother but has rather light magnets...but that does suit the cube well. The thunderclap is also a decent cube but not my favorite.

All of these are good cubes but aren’t going to blow you away if you’ve solved on flagships or other quality cubes you already enjoy the feel of. The GuHong on the other hand I feel offers a unique turning experience that can be compared to cubes OUTSIDE the budget range.

So I have a very bad 4x4 cube right now and I'm planning on getting a new one obviously and would like some reference and advice on some I should consider looking at. I would say my budget is around $20 or under.

MGC 4x4 works but you need lube for it to work good, if not lubed its scratchy.
