Which pyraminx should I get?

[T_adapledge]

So I was thinking about getting my first pyraminx and have no idea which one I should get. I have read a few other threads and a lot of people recommend the MoYu Weilong but for some reason I can't find the standard version online (UK). The other one I was looking at was the Gan Pyraminx M (standard). Please give me some advice as I don't want to spend more money than I need to.
(Sorry if there are already recent threads answering this question but I just don't want to make the wrong decision)

I would get the MoYu Weilong. https://kewbz.co.uk/products/moyu-weilong-pyraminx-m
For cheaper, the Yuxin little magic is a good option: https://kewbz.co.uk/products/yuxin-little-magic-pyraminx-m or the RS pyra: https://kewbz.co.uk/products/moyu-rs3m-pyraminx both perform well

What I did might be out of your range, but I have a MoYu RS Standard, that I converted to maglev for the softer internals. In total it costs about $16 (because of shipping and the maglev), but the maglev requires you to remove the MoYu compression system. If you would like links, I would be happy to provide them.

Both RS pyras are good but if your gonna get the maglev don't be like me and just get a Weilong (Standard), also only get a Little Magic if you can find an older one set up by Steven Wintringham and the newer ones are significantly worse.

Sorry but I don't think I am quite ready for this yet.
Although personally, one of the things I love about speedcubing is that there is so much room for creativity, especially when it comes to hardware and things such as modding and 3D printing.
So maybe I will give this a go when I actually know how to solve a pyraminx but thanks a lot for the advice.

I have the Qiyi MS, and it isn't that bad tbh, but I also don't do pyra that much so

I use the Steven’s Little. It’s unfortunate that all the new ones are such poor quality. Definitely recommend finding an older one as well.

I think a Weilong pyra would be your best bet but avaoid getting the Mgc pyra as in my opinion, it sucks

 

[Isaiah Scott]

Yeah. I got a YLM in January 2022 which is relatively older, and I've been using since I got it. I would recommend using TheCubicle's tutorial on how Steven set his up.

There are many you can get but here are the best ones in my opinion
Gan Pyraminx standard/enhaced (my main)
MoYu Weilong standard (maglev is uncontrollable)
Stevens little magic (or normal yuxin little magic)
X man bell v2

Why buy the RS standard and convert it to maglev instead of just buying the RS maglev?

rs standard was on sale and I had maglev pieces already

I agree, but it really is personal preference. For example the top 8 pyraminxers in my country (I'm in de top 8) all use the Yuxin Little Magic or the Mr.M.

Ok, so I have just checked and the MoYu WeiLong (standard) is sadly not in stock on the KewbzUK website. I am keen to order my pyramix pretty soon so I could either go for the GAN pyraminx (standard), the GAN pyraminx (enhanced) or the MoYu RS (standard). I will create a poll.

 

[An Animating Cuber]

If you really want a pyra now you should get the RS

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

I guess it's all up to preference. RS has a soft, stable feel and is a tad slow, the GAN pyraminxes are quite fast and a little squichy, the Weilong is decently fast with stability between the RS and the GANs plus has the adjustable magnets (a nice feature) and also the Qiyi MP pyraminx, even though no one talks about it, is actually pretty good, as it is quite stable, as is the X-Man Bell V2. But overall the Weilong, the Bell/MP and the RS are all good contenders. I don't like the GAN as it is quite unstable.

 

[T_adapledge]

Thanks so much everyone for your advice, I just ordered the MoYu RS Pyraminx M (standard) and I'm really looking forward to it arriving (hopefully within a couple of days).
I chose it because it was cheaper than most of my other options and I watched a couple of videos and everyone said it was a really great pyraminx considering the price. Also I would rather it be quite simple rather than have loads of customisation options (until I am any good at least).

Aight, good luck!
