It’a really the maglev system worth it???

not for the stupidly expensive price

 

[MiniRubik]

I prefer the Gan 12 Maglev to all of these, but the flagship Tornado V3 will probably be the best bang for your buck.

Kind of. If you like fast cubes than yes, if not than no. There is no spring noise and you don't use lubricant for the spring
Because there is no spring.

even then just go with the rs3m 2021 or wrm maglev

No MGC?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

No MGC?

The YJ ZhiLong Mini 4x4 M is smaller, feels similar, and has better performance

 

[Lio2010]

Better Performance?

 

[Abram Grimsley]

Better Performance?

Yes, it does

No Valk 2 M?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

No Valk 2 M?

It’s no longer available now that qiyi may have stopped producing it, esp after the release of their latest flagship the x-man flare

 

[Caden Fisher]

Should I get the x-man tornado v3 standard over my Rs3m 2020?

Both are good cubes!

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Should I get the x-man tornado v3 standard over my Rs3m 2020?

Yes, I have tried both and the tornado v3 is just a whole different level, but I would recommend at least getting the flagship version, and if you have extra money to spend, get the pioneer. Definitely worth it.

Ok thanks! I’ll save up for one of those versions

Don’t get me wrong, the rs3m 2020 is still a very great cube for its price, but if you want the best cube on the market, the tornado v3 is the way to go.

 

[CalebElCuber]

I think MGC should be on expert cathegory. And also i thin u could add on the cheap cathegory of 4x4 the YuSu v2m

 

[axe97]

I'm looking to get all new big cubes (4x4-7x7) for myself and am debating between YJ MGC or Moyu WRM for all of them. Assuming price is not a factor at all, should i just go for all Moyu? I haven't been able to find any definitive consensus online anywhere. I tend to dislike "cheap" feeling cubes, in case that matters

4x4: YJ mini 4x4 M
5x5: not sure
6x6: YJ MGC 6x6 (WRM 6x6 has frosted plastic)
7x7: MoYu AoFu WR M

If you don't want cheap feeling cubes, then you should go for the WRM's. The Mgc's tend to feel cheap, especially the 6x6. I do like the feel of the 7x7 tho.
