[Help Thread] "What cube should I get?" The Puzzle Choice Thread

I watched that but it didnt provide me much info.

The reviews of valk 4 are great, my experience with moyu is a lot of lockups. You can even get the WuqueMini M. Its good for big as well as small hands.

 

[The_Gaming_Cuber]

The Mini WuQue M doesnt even feel like a WuQue.

Guys, if you say WuQue I will say no.

Sorry if I came out as rude.

 

[Utkarsh Ashar]

The wuque mini is perfect for my hands. I can do the oll parity in 3 seconds. It fits my turning style. I don't know about you. You might have different opinions. All the Moyu cubes I've tried have lockups. I won't suggest the aosu. Check the reviews of them on youtube.

I tried the MoYu cubes and I liked them. I have a rough turning style.

But wouldn't the Valk 4 be better then the WuQue?

Valk 4 with strong magnets is faster than wuque m, but slower than gts2m.
I do not know anything about the Valk 4 with regular magnets strength.

 

[The_Gaming_Cuber]

Thank you. I will just wait for everyone elses opinions before making my purchase.

 

[Utkarsh Ashar]

Definitely it would be. Why would Qiyi make a new 4x4 if wuque would have been better? I actually like the wuque mini m. It depends on your turning style.

 

[The_Gaming_Cuber]

I agree. My turning style is rough. I just like fast but good peforming big cubes!

I also tend to get a lot of lockups on my 4x4 solves, probably because my method uses mostly inner slice turns. I'm hoping the Valk 4 with strong magnets will help with stability.

I'm currently using an unmagnetized GTS2 and the Mr. M.

I have heard that the Mr M is really great. It is cheaper and better than the qiyi thunderclap mini, and it is magnetic.

I just wrote a review in your budget high end 4x4 thread Mr. M is not an amazing cube, but it's fun and pretty good.

yo, it's been a while since i last cubed. My most recent purchase was a yuexiao pro in september 2017... haha. I haven't tried any magnetized cubes and heard that basically a yulong v2 m would be better than any of my older, pre-2018 non-magnetized cubes. I want to get back into the groove with 3x3 and figure out how good magnets are. Keep in mind im also a collector
Anyway I just would like to know what cube nowadays performs well and feels like a tanglong- you know, smooth but also light and crispy but sorta solid too? I can't really describe it, but I LOVED my tanglong's feel before its core snapped and ****ing died. It also wasnt magnetized.
Any suggestions? My budget is around 40 bucks at most and probably no more.

I'd try the new factory magnetized Valk3m...

Thanks for the suggestion, ill check it out
However if it feels like a normal Valk, which it probably does, it might be a no-no. I have a Valk 3 and it's feel is superb but not really like a tanglong, it isn't as crispy.. or whatever word you use to describe the tanglong's feel.

I have the nonmagnetic gts2 because on speedcubeshop they were out of stock for the magnetic version.

 

[Trexrush1]

I own a wuque, a mini wuque M, and a gts2m. The mini is very inconsistent in terms of quality. The gts2m is a tad fast and very locky for a rough turner, but very fun to solve on. The wuque is about what you would expect from a non-magnetic. I main the gts2. I would recommend going to a comp, trying the Valk (as I will), but it seems like a really solid choice (its even 60 mm!).

Edit- My gts2m is kinda bad, but I have tried some really good gts2's. Definitely a solid option.

Compress the springs

Cyotheking has a pretty good tutorial

the wuque M is really expensive so I dont think its even an option. And dont even try to justify 70 bucks when there are 40 dollar options

But wouldn't the Valk 4 be better then the WuQue?

Was the valk3 power better then the valk3?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I was at the London open and I asked mats valk about a valk4 and he told me that he had rejected it and that he would only accept it if it was better than the wuque.
Someone else told me that he had let Feliks try a valk pro and that he had a go to but didn't mention what it felt like. However I later asked mats valk and he was cautious to prevent anyone taking pictures of the new valk and he wouldn't let me try it. He told me he rejected it and said that it was probably better than the valk3 but not good enough.
