I think the Valk 5 should be expert 5x5, Gan 356 M should be a great 3x3, The WRM and Yj Yusu v2/YLM 4x4s should go up there, MGC 5x5 and 6x6 should be expert, Gan megamix is expert, Cyclone boys magnetic skewb is great, The Volt V2 squan should be great or expert, and same for the Huanglong pyraminx.

Thoughts on the wuxia 2x2?

Literal trash also and overpriced. I think I reviewed it in the ultimate review

It's overpriced. If you want a good 2x2, get the Valk 2 or MGC. The Wuxia is not liable anymore because there are cubes that are miles better than it.

Yj Yufu V2 M performs way better than the MF7S and is also magnetic. The MF7S locks up ALOT! Yufu costs $19.99 on cubicle.

The Qiyi Valk 5M is better than the WuShuang as of now. Valk 5M costs $49.99 on Cubicle.

i'm just slowly getting back into cubing after a 5 or 6 year break... back when I was practicing a bunch, I was using a Dayan Guhong and a Dayan Zhanchi.

What cube would you recommend for me if i want to upgrade from those? Like I said, i've been pretty out of it and none of the cube producer names now sound familiar. I see a lot about the new Gans cubes but im not sure which is which, and I also dont really want to spend $70 on a 3x3 right now. Thanks

What is your budget? You can get decent cubes way better than Guhongs and Zhanchis for $5?

Depends on your budget; you can get the meilong 3x3x3 for £5 which is way better than the Zhanchi, but you will probably consider the extra £5 for the magnetic version to be worthwhile. If you want something top of the range I would recommend the Gan 356M or Valk 3 elite

The Guhong v3 M, Wuwei, and Thunderclap v3 M are both much better than the Yulong v2 M

What is the Gan RSSM?

My recommendation would be the Guhong v3 M, Thunderclap v3 M, Wuwei, Tengyun, WRM, or Valk Elite

Gan 354 v2, but if you need a budget cube go with the Dayan Guhong V3

 

[EvanTheCuber]

Instead Of the GAN 356 X, you should put the GAN 356 XS the XS is 5$ cheaper, and as customizable plus, it has a better core as its a upgrade from the X

Better core? NO! It's made out of plastic and it would probably break.

sure it would break if you smashed it on the floor but just solving it wont break it

My cube's metal screw broke by just solving.

The plastic core is flexible, so it won’t snap. When it bends, it just will go back. Contrary to what you would believe, it is actually stronger. Also, wouldn’t you expect the quality control of a $60 cube to be better than that of $20 cube trying to have the same features as a high end one? If they manage to have premium features at a lower price, they are lacking something. It appears to be quality control.

I ordered a 50 mm MFJS 3x3 and a magnet kit. I will let you know how that ends up working out.
