[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

since the valk is now gone forever and out of production, here are some helpful tips on what to do if you want a valk like feeling.

1. if you really, really want a valk, you can get them aftermarket on ebay and whatnot. just make sure that there are actual pictures of the puzzle and not some vendor pictures.

2. if you dont want aftermarket valks, here are some cubes that are similar to the og valk:

YiSheng 3x3 M is my best pick (not a widely known cube, but it has a dual adjustment system a la GTS3, corner holes for the sound, a similar crunchy feeling, similar stickerless shades and ten bucks on the cubicle) https://www.thecubicle.com/products/yisheng-3x3-m

YJ YuLong V2 (same crunchy, hard-plastic feeling, eight bucks) https://www.thecubicle.com/products/yj-yulong-v2-m

the legendary RS3M or RS3M Super (you already know about these, nine or ten bucks respectively) and that's about it. https://www.thecubicle.com/products/moyu-rs3-m-2020 https://www.thecubicle.com/products/moyu-super-rs3-m-2022-3x3

3. if you really really really want a valk power for some reason just get a qiyi thunderclap v3 m its literally the exact same cube there is only one tiny difference aside from the logo and thats the roundness of the corners https://www.thecubicle.com/products/qiyi-thunderclap-v3-m

4. if you want something like the valk 3 elite get a dayan tengyun v2 (dont get the v3) it has a similar smooth, fast, quiet feeling, adjustable magnets, and similar stickerless shades https://www.thecubicle.com/products/dayan-tengyun-v2-m-3x3

you're welcome.

u mean yisheng or yusheng

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

no i mean yisheng

YiSheng 3x3 M

The YiSheng 3x3 M is the first 3x3 from this brand. It features a medium magnetic feel and an easy-to-use compression adjustment. At only $9.99, this puzzle offers good performance at a great price.

If someone wants a new Valk Elite or Valk Power M, there is a cubing store in the Netherlands that has a few in stock.

cool

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

what abt Valk 2

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

YJ MGC Elite 2x2 is pretty similar. For the Valk 4 and Valk 5, there aren't any super similar cubes but the MGC 4x4 and MGC 5x5 should work just as well.

RIP Valk, I really like that cube.

funny you mention the dayan tengyun v2 it's literally in my hands while I was reading the OP. Great cube.

Dayan does not get enough credit. Everyone goes on and on about Moyu and Gan but DaYan should be in those same conversations.

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

i'm a dayan fancat, so agreed. i just wish they put in a simpler adjustment system in the tengyun v3. they nailed the nezha 5x5 tho

The Valk Elite is my all-time favorite 3x3. So much nostalgia, being my first serious main for a long time. It had a very defined feel which I still love.

 

[TheValk]

I don't think I'm dead. Am I?

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

I don't think I'm dead. Am I?

RIP Valk.

I have a few Valk 3x3s. I preserve them in a humidity chamber, I don't cube on them much.

The Valk2s are much harder to buy than Valk 3x3s
