Angstrom. They feel sooooo good, he set-up is fantastic.

TC or DailyPuzzles

Where to buy cubes in the UK?

Kewbzuk, or speedcubing.org. There is no reason to buy from Australia or US

Speedcubing.org, I may be a bit biased since I own speedcubing.org but I'm happy to help you with any recommendations.

Where to buy cubes in the UK?

I used to use KewbzUk and they were pretty good. Then again, you can buy from anywhere else with free shipping if you aren't too fussy with shipping times (e.g Cubezz has 2-3 weeks of free shipping but really low prices to the UK)

i think you should put meilong 3m as budget and x man tornado for great

 

[povlhp]

Tornado v2 is disputed. Some love it some hate it.
Meilong 3M is IMHO the best of the $3 magnetic cubes. Like it over the stock RS3M 2020. Have multiple of both. Meilong is less noisy and I use it at work.

I like cubes that have a easy fast turning with strong magnets, and lightweight. What cube and lube do you recommend

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

Gan 11 m Pro fits your recommendations but you will have to adjust the magnets to strong

 

[baseballjello67]

Easy fast turning: Tengyun V2
Lube: Stardust (SCS) or DNM-37 (TC) and Mystic (TC)

Other recommendations:
GAN 11 M Pro
WRM 2021
Guhong V4 (debatable)

ALL THE CUBES EXCEPT THE GUHONG V4 HAVE ADJUSTABLE MAGNETS

is a wrm 2021 lite better than a CH rs3m 2020? which one should I get?

Rs3 is better for your money but the WRM is probably better for you.

 

[SH03L4C3]

Rs3 is better for your money but the WRM is probably better for you.

interesting... how so?

 

[cuberswoop]

interesting... how so?

It might just be my opinion, but the rs3 feels cheap and is overall pretty decent, but the wrms plastic feels more un-cheap, and does a better job, even if not by much. But like I said, that might just be me.

what about the cubershome rsm3m vs the mgc evo? (the wrm is out of stock)
Is there a big difference between the CH version and the original?

My personal experience is that the tengyun v1 is good for algs due to being flexible and forgiving but not stable or controllable due to the incredibly weak magnets. I would recommend WRM 2021 or 2020 or maglev or maybe even a little magic m (debatable) for most cubers.
also I don't think anyone uses the Hays anymore. and the valk2 is out of production and getting harder to find
@pjk if you want the page to be community editable, again have you thought about a wiki page? otherwise I can give some suggestions here

Also it cannot be emphasized enough that "budget" 2x2 and 3x3 hardware is much more usable than "budget" 4x4 and above.

The CH RS3M is just the regular RS3M with the CubersHome core magnet kit pre-installed.

Hello. I currently have 2x2-5x5, pyra, mega, skewb, squan, and various non WCA cubes. I want to get a clock. I cant afford the Qiyi clock (I’m 14) and so it’s between the ShengShou and LingAo. I think the ShengShou is better from what I heard. Should I go with it? The two are the same price on The Cubicle.
