I'm so out of the cubing loop anymore (took a break), what are the best 4x4-7x7s now? I know the mgc series ofc, but other than that are there any options i should genuinely go for? Thanks in advance

I think generally the aosu v7, aochuang v6, aoshi, and aofu are the recommended ones, but for 7x7 i've seen some people use meilong v2ms

for 4x4, go with the vin. all else go with the moyu flagships

I think the AoSu is the best unless you have gargantuan size hands

I recently got an auso v7, but why are the middle magnets stronger that the outer layer ones?

 

[Eric4112]

yeah the rs3m v5 is so good I recommend the ball core version and the robot is cool

robot is underrated

It's a standard feature of big cubes to make 3x3 stage easier.

That's standard across basically every big cube. It keeps the inner layers together when you're doing 3x3 stage.

I bought a 5x5 to primarily use for 5BLD(also as a 5x5 main but I barely practice sighted) and got an Aochuang Double Track, but really didn't like it. It just didn't feel good, the corner cutting felt really bad and I couldn't go through exec comfortably without making errors. I'm not sure whether to get the GAN 562 matted or preorder the Vin(non UV), which would be better?

The hong is always an option. Heard the dorito mod is really good on it. Ask @NebraskanSpeedsolver

With the current market theres no reason to purchase the Hong anymore

in the recent vin 5 review by the cubicle rowe was saying that the gan is really good for blind cuz the layers are all good size. the aochuang isn't that good because the outer layers are bigger.

So, I wanna get a square-1. I understand the MGC is really good, but I don't wanna get an MGC because I've heard way too much about the core breaking, and I've already had terrible experiences with cubes like that. Should I get a Yuxin Little Magic instead?

no

 

[ILCubing]

no

I'm kind of on a budget right now though, and as I said, I don't wanna buy a cube and have the cube break after only 2 months of use (which has happened to me a lot).

Just get the MGC. The core breaking is wildly exaggerated.
