What is the best Skewb to get? (I'm trying to get into a new puzzle and I want Skewb)

[Michael Wimberly]

So I'm not really on a budget, here are my top picks

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

you'll be perfectly happy with the gan enhanced and the dayan. I have the dayan in maglev and uv, and it's really good. The xman wingy is kind of outdated at this point, and the rs is just a budget cube.

RS skewb: cheap, nice feeling, easy to setup. shape is interesting, spring noise.
Wingy: still good, heavier, feels old.
Gan: fast, fluid, controllable, expensive, harder for me to hold
dayan: ridges are nice, fastest of the bunch ootb, really quiet, uv coating is nice.

I used to main a Maglev but I traded it for a 2x2 and bought a Moyu RS Skewb. Even though it's cheaper I actually like it better

Gan enhanced id the best one for almost everyone, the dayan V2 I heard it's good, but only for some people so idk if you should risk it

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Gan enhanced id the best one for almost everyone, the days V2

I love the days v2, i loved my 2nd day on earth (probably)

I heard it's good, but only for some people so idk if you should risk it

Yeah the X man wingy is a safer option in that price range. Who knows tho ?

the gan then. I use the Rs skewb Maglev but that's because its pretty good and it's a budget cube

Also :

The Gan, is probably still the best for most people.

But id get the dayan cause you dont know if your going to like skewb + its really good, but your budget aint a problem so eh.

Its either dayan or x man for me cause I drop my RS so much...

rs maglev skewb is pretty good. i would get the gan tho. neither the day nor x man because what's the poimt

yeah i heard it is (the rs maglev) im about to mod my RS standard into a maglev ver anyway (later today)

yeah the moyu RS skewb maglev is a pretty good option for those just starting out with skewb. Idk if OP is going to decide to be a serious skewber but if he is then he should go for the GAN. But if he doesn’t want to be a serious skewber then go for one of the other options.

Idk if I'm gonna be that serious, probably not so I might just get the GAN later on if I like skewb.

That’s what im plan on doing. I have the rs skewb maglev and im still learning Sarah’s intermediate. I might upgrade to the gan later on if I still want to learn ns or smth

I'd recommend the Gan Skewb M or RS but here is a list of all the ones I own and what I think of them.

LBL Gan Skewb Enhanced very good, a little bit pricey but if you really get into it probably worth it not to much better than the Enhanced
Gan Skewb Enhanced a little bit slower than the stanndard but locks up less
Dayan V2 Maglev UV quite good has issues with major lockups and pops once you get into higher TPS (9+)
Gan Skewb M quite fast locks up a bit but probably the second best price to preformance ratio second only to the RS
Dayan V2 Standard pops a good bit probably better than anything other than a GAN
Moyu Weilong Maglev not really worth the price jump from the RS to this one
LBL Moyu Weilong Maglev slightly better than the standard but not really worth the extra money
Moyu RS Maglev slightly better than the standard but not really worth the extra money
Moyu RS probably the best price to preformance ratio
X-man Wingy V2 has an old feel but corner cutting is REALLY good, has nice buttery turning but has some issues with pops, customizability is really good

the dayan is not as stable as the GAN, and so the GAN is still much more reliable in comps

 

[Michael Wimberly]

So is the GAN Skewb standard or enhanced version better?

Depends on what you want, Standard is cheaper and faster but locks up more, the Enhanced is a little bit slower but locks up less.

enhance is better ofc

 

[JDCubing1]

Used the enhanced gan
I use it even tho I'm not that good but it is buttery smooth
couple drops of lube and ur in heaven

 

[5p33dcub3r]

The RS should be good enough if you're just getting into skewb

 

[Michael Wimberly]

Thanks for everyone's input, I think I'll get the enhanced GAN. Though yesterday my friend (Who knows nothing of SS and has never seen this thread) said he's getting me the RS for xmas because I don't have a skewb, kinda funny timing lol.
