Master Pyraminx
Starter: Yuxin Master Pyraminx ($13)

Midrange for this should be QiYi Master pyraminx

Midrange: You'll need to do some heavy modding to get something that is speedsolvable.

Midrange for this should be a RexTO

Note: Do not get the stickerless Qiyi Kilominx, as it has colored center caps which must be removed in order for the puzzle to be competition legal.

The MFJS meilong kilominx is stickerless and doesnt have colored center caps

4x4 part updated

I agree with most of the points except for Ambition being good for 4BLD. RS4M is way better for 4BLD with quick inner slices, just that to me it only works for 4BLD imo. My ball core RS4M is really nice for 4BLD

Fair enough, I don't actually do 4BLD, all I remember is that lots of top BLDers still use the GTS2M which is not in production anymore, unfortunately ball core RS4Ms aren't actually available to most people so I don't know how good that would be.

OK, now for 5x5x5s, shame the AoChuang WRM and Valk 5 aren't easily available at the moment.

What is the best 5x5 speedcube in 2025

The 5x5 is a challenging step up from the 3x3 or 4x4 speedcube, this guide explains which ones are worth buying at different price points so you can choose the best 5x5 speedcube currently available at the end of 2023.

RS3M V5.

Ok. Only query is that I’ve heard some negative opinion regarding the corner cutting. Would that alter your opinion?

It corner cuts as good as my V9.

What is the best 6x6 speedcube in 2023?

I hope to explain which the best 6x6x6 cube on the market is at the end of 2023, 6x6s generally have a lot of inner pieces so it is difficult to make them perform very well, despite this, cube manufacturers have managed to design 6x6 speedcubes which perform very well.

Did you change the screw tension at all?

Did you change the screw tension at all?

I got my RS3M v5 a week or two ago and didn't change any of the settings besides adding some lube. I haven't had any issue with the OOTB screw tension and it instantly became my OH main.

Is a gan 11 air good?

 

[Cubinginatree]

Is a gan 11 air good?

It is overpriced and not even magnetic. For the same price you could buy a ball core Super RS3M which has amazing performance.

what does it perform well in? I want something fast yet controllable and has good corner cutting

It all depends what your price range is, but even a $10 RS3M is going to be better than the Gan 11 Air. I really like the Tornado v3 flagship and RS3m v5 as mid range options,

Whats been up with 4x4 hardware lately? I'm trying to do more solving than I have recently and looking to upgrade hardware.

I currently main the diansheng solar, with the yj mgc as my backup cube.

If I was going to buy 3 more 4x4's to test out, what should I get? I am not a fan of when the inner layers are far slower than the outer.

Just try the AoSu WRM, it is just simply better, you can also get a core magnetic version

Thanks. It's a shame the best 4x4 hardware is from 4 years ago. I think I am going to get these 3 to see if I like any of them better than the diansheng solar.

1. Moyu aosu wrm 4x4
2. Yj YuSu 4x4 v2 M
3. QiYi MP 4x4 M
