What cubes do you want

[zslane]

When lubed up, the Valk 3 Elite M feels amazing to me. But I still prefer my GAN 356 XS, if I'm being honest. As flagships go, GAN just happens to make them the way I like them, but that doesn't mean they are right for everyone. If I might be permitted to stretch an analogy a bit, I'd say the Valk 3 Elite M feels like a Porsche (heavy, stable) while the GAN 356 XS feels like a Ferrari (light, responsive). You can win with both; it comes down to which kind of "driving feel" you prefer.

nice analysis lol

I personally like the original Valk 3 much more than the Valk Elite. The elite was too blocky and I couldn't turn fluidly on it.

I set up the Valk Elite with Light spring, and medium magnets, with gravitas, weight 3, and a small squeeze of weight 6(plus dnm later). It makes it fast, but had a small drag at the beginning. After a few days, it is quite fast and flexible, not stable. OOTB it is stable though, but dry for my taste.

And I would like the new guoguan 2x2, because i'm maining a yupo 2x2 right now. Maybe the mgc 4x4.

 

[CyoobietheCuber]

I would like to get a Valk M/Elite or any magnetic cube.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Valk 3 Power M and the Valk 3 Elite M? Feel, customizable, etc? I’ve been trying to find the difference but have been unsuccessful.

They're very different cubes. I've used both—the Elite is more stable and has magnet strength options, and in general just feels smoother. I personally prefer it a lot, but the Power is still a very good cube.

The power is the second 3x3 in the valk line, the first being the Valk 3M and the most recent being the valk elite. The valk elite has adjustable magnets and springs while the power doesn’t (it comes with a second set though). I’m pretty sure most people liked the original and the elite, but the power had mixed reviews. In addition the elite is 26 grams lighter than the power. If you are deciding between those two cubes I would recommend the elite

 

[Deleted member 54663]

Is it just me or am I the only one who uses the green springs on the valk elite? I see everyone using the red springs.

I already have some pretty good mains in some events:
2x2 - Valk 2 M
3x3 - GAN 356 X w/ YuXin Little Magic as backup
5x5 - YuXin Cloud 5x5
Skewb - MoYu AoYan w/ X-Man Wingy Magnetic as backup

Here are some ones that I would like:
4x4 - MoYu Aosu M 4x4
6x6 - whatever good 6x6s there are (I haven't checked too often)
7x7 - YuXin Spark M
Pyra - MoYu magnetic Pyraminx
Megaminx - GAN Megaminx
Clock - QiYi Magnetic Clock (when it comes out)
Squan - X-Man Volt v2 M (black/white)
OH - MoYu Mini Weilong
Random - Fisher Cube, Ghost Cube, others

for 6x6 the best is MGC by a lot, and for pyraminx you shoud probably get either qiyi ms or x-man bell v2

 

[PetraPine]

My current mains
1.Valk 2 M
2.Qiyi Ms 3x3(Gan xs as backup)
3.Valk 4(not that great)
4.Qiyi Ms 5x5
5.Skewb(some decent X-man stickered)
6.Pyra qiyi MS
7.Mega X-man Galaxy(cubicle pro shop)

 

[Zain_A24]

My current mains
1.Valk 2 M
2.Qiyi Ms 3x3(Gan xs as backup)
3.Valk 4(not that great)
4.Qiyi Ms 5x5
5.Skewb(some decent X-man stickered)
6.Pyra qiyi MS
7.Mega X-man Galaxy(cubicle pro shop)

When you main a $6 cube and backup a $60 cube.

(The MS is really good so don't blame you.)

 

[Zubin Park]

I guess I'll add my mains
2x2: YLM (unmagnetized)- I like this better than magnetic cubes idk why
3x3: Gan X (Backups in order: WRM v1, Gan Air M, RS3M 2020
4x4: Aosu GTS2M (Backup MGC)
5x5: MGC
6x6: MGC
3BLD: Gan Air SM (Backups: my 2 other SM's)
OH: any cube I feel like using

Soo, my birthday is in a couple days, and I really want some cubes. I can spend about 30 dollars. I sort of want to branch out into other events, specifically mega, and get better cubes. I currently have a QiYi MS and I average 35, and a jELly 4x4, on which I average 320 (probably changed, I don't time 4x4 anymore)
Any good recommendations?

If you get the MGC 4x4 and the Yuhu v2 M, that’s $33 (going by TheCubicle’s prices), but there’s discount codes, which might cover tax.

My current interests are collecting all the good 2x2s: xinghen, chuwen, mgc, valk2, and tengyun (maybe old Dayan if I can find one). I have the weipo in light blue and I love solving with it since it has a nice clacky quick feel. My other 2x2s as mains are my very crunchy wittwo with a lot of traxxas to smooth it, and the little magic 2x2 which I added silk to make it somewhat soft and quick.

I have a lot of 3x3s so I don't plan on getting more aside from collecting unique old ones and completing my Dayan series from Dayan 2 to Dayan 5 (Dayan 1 is Taiyan and Dayan 6 is Panshi which are almost impossible to find nowadays). I'm most interested in Tengyun v1, Qiyi MS, and RS3M 2020 (to compare it to my RS3M). My best performing cubes (I don't really main any 3x3 and I like to solve with all my 3x3s, even the budget ones) are the Cubicle Labs Little Magic M and Pro shop GTS2M, both of which were $20 or under on discount.

I don't have many big cubes but I would like to get the full MGC line (and maybe full Meilong line for collecting).

 

[Cubing Forever]

My mains :
2x2: Non magnetic Meilong
3x3: Qiyi Warrior S
Would like to get:
pyra, mega, skewb, squan: Meilong(coz I have a low budget)
Clock:qiyi, lingao or ss

 

[MJS Cubing]

I don't feel like listing them all, so here's my cubicle wishlist


TLDR: TheCubicles Entire website. (But isn't that the case with everyone?)

Edit: Now you know what the M in MJS Cubing stands for.

Edit 2: If I had to choose one, I really want the qiyi clock. I haven't gotten a clock yet because I've been wanting to get into clock, but I've Benn waiting for one that doesn't suck.
