Should I buy Tornado V3?

[Abdul the cuber]

HEy, I wanted to ask if its worth buying the Tornado V3 in 2026... and if yes... which one should I buy.. the Premium edition or the normal edition?

I would argue that almost any 3x3 speedcube made post ~2023 is 'worth buying'.

Premium edition or the normal edition?

If you can afford it, get the better version. Remember, something good for the long term will always be better than buying something slightly sub-par in the short term.

I would say get the Premium because it feels more similar to modern cubes and is more durable than the regular edition, which had problems with the core snapping. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though, because I've never had the premium version.

As someone recently getting back into cubing, it's what I'm maining right now (and I'm a big fan, it's a great cube). Although I do have my eyes on some of the recent cubes, but it's currently serving me well.

It's by no means an outdated cube, especially if you get the pioneer version, since it's not particularly lacking feature-wise. And it's not a particularly expensive cube at that.

Regardless, it's probably a better option to check out the Tornado V5 as its releasing soon, and perhaps check out other recent cubes, since they WILL be better in the long run, all in all.

I can't comment on the premium version, but it's insignificantly more expensive (on KewbzUK), and likely better, so I'd buy it if you want a Tornado V3. Also, I'm fairly certain the core-snapping issue is fixed on new TV3 batches, so you don't have to worry about that.

Maining the premium and it offers a lot of customizability. If you like it go for it

I wish someone would compare the feel of the tv3 vs tv3 premium.

I have both a TV3 pioneer (non-premium) and an XT3 V1 (Which supposedly feels more like the premium version). The normal V3 feels very smooth and glidey with a slight tactility, while the XT3 (and I'm assuming the premium V3) has a more dry and papery feel.
