What's your prefered cube brand? Why that brand?

[AndrewSC]

what we need is a maglev 2x2

I’m actually making one.

@Clock Main please add Vin
I have the 4x4 and 5x5 and honestly I don't think I could hope for more, and I hope to get the 2x2 one day as well. The problem with Vin is that it's a relatively new company and doesn't have a lot of cubes yet.
I have a couple of gan cubes (the 251 and 3 3x3s) and they are very good but way too expensive.

OK

Quality to price ratio, MGC beats every brand here.

GAN is good, but the downside from them is:
1. High prices
2. Few releases each year
3. Puzzle variety is not so broad
And the upsides are:
Great/good cubes (in my opinion)
Longlasting and durable (my GAN XS is my only speedcube which i have had for like 3 years and it has never had any major issues)

For other puzzles like 4x4+ or OH i think Moyu does better because they have a wider variety of puzzles and lots of models to choose from. Plus their big cubes are the perfect size for me (i don’t do big cubes but i’ve tried some at comps).

if i could only pick one brand to buy from for the rest of my cubing career, i would choose Moyu probably

I prefer Gan, they make high quality cubes.

personally I think Vin is better. The vin2 is better than the mgc2. vin 4 and 5 beat out the mgc equs

Same.
Gan does sometimes make great cubes, so does vin, and qiyi has a coupla good ones too, but Moyu is probably has the best price to performance ratio (imo) and also covers alot of puzzles, and as an all rounder thats something i want/need

DaYan, largely for nostalgia reasons (but I do really like some of their recent-ish releases).

Nice to see more Moyu fanboys! It's been basically a status symbol to have the new Gan every year but I'm glad people are starting to care more about how THEY perform on a certain cube, rather than how OTHER people see them. (Not that Gan is bad of course, still very good cubes.)
