If you don’t like someone’s review, you can post what you think should change along with what and where the review is. If enough people agree (through likes or otherwise), it will get changed.
You can also just post another review, and both reviews will be displayed.

Shades: stickered
Magnets: nonexistent
Speed: Can not turn
Stability: Very stable, the only good thing about the cube.
Corner Cutting: Struggles to do 0 degrees cornercutting
Pops: Never pops
Corner twisting: no
Lock ups: The only thing this cube will ever do, it might be quiet but you will want to throw this cube in a volcano after only 1 solve, it can barely do any turns.
This cube scarred me for life and it ruins the name of mini cubes. I can't see how anyone would want to buy this trash.

literraly the worst thing in the world and i prefer a rubiks brand over
Price: $∞ USD + shipping
Speed: So fast it can turn faster than gan x! it turns so fast it looks like it doesn't even turn (i wonder why)
Stablity: Most stable cube ive ever seen! it pops only like when you try to turn, which is much better than a gts3m
Corner cutting: it's so amazing the cube actually makes me feel like cutting the corner
I recommend this to anyone who wants to quit cubing, definately for cubers.

Example cube: Moyu Aolong v2
After lubing: Became much smoother, slightly faster, and also cornercut better, like 50-55 degrees, and line to line reverse. Would recommend. If you want to slow down your puzzle, go with 50K. If you want to speed it up, go with 10K. If you just want improved cornercutting, slightly more speed, and smoothness, to with this.

Tensions: Many options (general gan stuff)
Speed: Very fast
Stability: Quite unstable but magnets help
Note: I use this as my main ever since I lost my Valk2m and I can achieve my average with this cube. It is very fast but slightly uncontrollable, and overall I would say that this is my favourite 2x2 since my Cubicle labs xinghen m which disappeared about 6 months ago.

Tensions: To adjust tensions, use a screwdriver
Springs: Take out the screw get other springs insert put back in screw
Speed: Very fast, a little too fast for me(I just started 2x2)
Stability: The cube constantly corner twists and has popped (though it's still on the loose stock tensions)
Additional notes: The cube has great effortless cornercuting, and hardly locks. The magnets feel like the GT3M which is fairly strong. It's a great budget cube for beginners and advanced 2x2 solvers.

Magnets: Medium-Heavy, can’t adjust
Tensions: Screwdriver
Springs: Unscrew screw, take spring out
Speed: Fast enough, not uber fast, but good
Stability: Really stable. A pretty blocky cube, very controllable with the medium speed and magnets. You’ll never overshoot with this or lockup pretty much. No pops so far, corner twists seem impossible to so in a solve, doing it physically is pretty hard
Sidenotes: Cornercutting a standard 50ish for effective use, reverse line to line. Nice for
people who don’t like the super fast, light uncontrollable cubes. Heavier than most, but not too noticeable.

Size: 59 mms, perfect size for me, a lot nice than my 61 mm GTS2M
Speed: About medium, not extremely fast or slow. Its my friends so its not setup the way I would set it up.
Stability: Its a modern cube, doesn't pop, Corner cutting is pretty good, no corner twists
Feeling: Clicky, not as bubbly as the GTS2M, still bubbly, sound is quite high pithced,
Note: I haven't used this extensively, but Feliks uses it and I can tell it is a very good puzzle. personally I prefer the GTS2M over this. If there was a puzzle that felt like a Gts2m but was the size of the WRM I would main it without a thought

Price 34.00 AUD from Daily Puzzles or 21.99 from The cubicle. Amazing for what you get
Shades: Amazing, easy to distinguish, these new MGC shades might be my favourite I have seen
Magnets: Uncustomisable, medium to strong, inners slightly stronger
Tensions: Classic screw, spring and washer. Easy enough to adjust if you have patience. Its a 5x5 anyway
Springs: Comes with extra set of springs and washers, I have mine lubed with weight 5
Speed: Pretty fast whilst remaining controllable. Again inners slightly slower
Stability: Pretty stable, I have my MGC tightening about half a turn or so, even then it forward corner cuts a piece and a half on tighter tensions. Hasn't popped in all my time with it
Corner twisting: Doesn't happen on big cubes
Feel: Faster than the MGC 6x6, bubbly, crispy, but not so much as its bigger brother. Feels quite snappy on the outer layers. This is how it feels OOTB with factory lube. I will lube with my own setup after my comp
One thing that I do find slightly troublesome is that it does catch a bit when I am turning, but that is not common and is probably because I am not great at big cubes
Overall thoughts: Great cube, amazing price, my collection is filling with MGCs. 9.5/10.

Stability: Pretty stable, I have my MGC tightening about half a turn or so, even then it forward corner cuts a piece and a half on tighter tensions. Hasn't popped in all my time with it
Corner twisting: Doesn't happen on big cubes
Feel: Faster than the MGC 6x6, bubbly, crispy, but not so much as its bigger brother. Feels quite snappy on the outer layers. This is how it feels OOTB with factory lube. I will lube with my own setup after my comp
One thing that I do find slightly troublesome is that it does catch a bit when I am turning, but that is not common and is probably because I am not great at big cubes
Overall thoughts: Great cube, amazing price, my collection is filling with MGCs. 9.5/10.

Price: 9USD, 15AUD
Magnets: Strong but nice
Tensions: Easy to change
Size: Average pyra size (good)
Stability: Really good but tips fall off 1 in 20 solves.
Feeling: Really smooth and nice
Note: The frosted feeling looks weird but helps a lot with gripping the puzzle, I prefer practicing on this to the bell and am getting better stackmat times because picking up the puzzle is great. I average 4 on it compared to 4.5 on the bell.

Price : 9.95 USD
Magnets : Strong magnets, are noticeable while solving
Springs : No adjustable springs
Tensions : No adjustable tensions. Can't get the corner caps off
Speed : Turns very fast
Stability : Doesn't really feel stable
Extra notes : Corner cuts right under 45. Try 45 or over, and it will pop. I would recommend this cube, but you have to be ready not to have any costumisation

Price : 9.95 USD
Magnets : No magnets (I should add some the pins always fall lol)
Springs : No adjustable springs
Tensions : No adjustable tensions
Speed : Now that I added cherry bomb lubricant, it turns fast
Stability : You can't really have stability on clock
Additional notes : The pins lock up a lot, I would not recommend it. It looks like something you'd buy at the dollar store. The shell could easily crack, you must be careful. You should probably buy a custom or angstrom clock if you want to be any good. Very disappointed.
