Anything is possible. I wasn't about to get another one to find out.

Hopefully XMD will.come up with the Galaxy v2's "little brother" kilominx with magnets

I got the Qiyi kilominx (black stickered) after they first came out with it and found it to be decently controllable with good(ish) turning and the color shades were great so I gave it to my girl
Recently got more into megaminx and wound up getting the Qiyi stickerless.for myself, but the color shades aren't the same at all, REALly kinda ugly and more difficult to differentiate between compared to stickered, and sadly the turning/controllablility is worse as well...
so a recent order form Cubezz has a Meilong on its way haha

Hi. I average sub 4 on pyraminx and I main the Weilong non maglev but I am considering getting the gan enhanced uv. I really don’t mind the price and I just want the best pyra I can get. Do you guys have any suggestions on which one I should get?

Best pyraminx depends on what you're looking for. For stability its the XMD Bell V2, which feels solid and easy to control, fast is Weilong non-magnetic pyraminx, which feels flexible and relatively clicky.

The GAN Mini is great for average hands. FOr tiny hands and OH its the Zhilong Mini 3x3.

MGC Elite. But get the Valk 2 if you can find it.

 

[Lio2010]

I need a 2x2 under 20 Bucks. My brother recently learned 3x3, and my dad is buying him the ys3m ball core cause he can solve it. And now i explained him that 2x2 is like solving only the corners of the 3x3, but he uses my 2x2 the whole time, so i told him that i will buy him a 2x2 if he gets sub 20 with it. Which ones do u recommend?

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

MoYu WeiPo WRS.

 

[Caden Fisher]

YJ MGC is pretty good. People average under 4 seconds with it. Also only about 12 bucks

[Dan the Beginner]

OK I try do it that way:

Hong Kong price:

1. Under $10: MoYu WeiLong WR M v9
2. Under $15: X-Man Tornado v3 Flagship
3. Under $20: MoYu HuaMeng YS3M Ball-core magic clothes

US price:

1. Under $10: MoYu RS3M 2020
2. Under $15: MoYu Super RS3M Maglev
3. Under $20: MoYu WeiLong WR M v9

P.S. referring to the price at the Cubicle as I have personally ordered from them as well

The Tornado V2 should be quieter than all the ones you listed, but it's hard to find at under $20 now, if at all.

I think this one just scrapped in, since shipping is free.
