Worst 3x3 Ever

[Tabe]

Not really, because a modern Rubik's brand isn't that trash. An original one barely turns

Nah. If you broke in an original one, it would turn pretty decent, just no corner cutting.

Gan is the worst because of their prices comapred to other cubes like the rs3m 2020, or the qiyi ms, you can also get the weilong wrm for 35$ and its almost as good(if not better) as the gan 11 m pro which is 65$

Indeed. GAN has good cubes, and they sometimes come out with new tech, but the prices are totally not worth it. Remember when the all of the flagship cubes used to be $20? Thanks a lot GAN, for raising that number. Now no flagship is < $30

Well, the valk 3 was 2016

Judging from the accessories and price, I think the repulsion is YJ's flagship. And it's over $30
And as DNF_Cuber said, Valk 3 m was 2016

Repulsion is more of an LE
EDIT:for clarification LE is limited edition

The valk 3 m was released in 2019 and is still qiyi's best-selling cube

It is just a magnetic version of the old one. I main it , I am just saying that the actual structure of the cube was produced in 2016

Qiyi's current flagship is the Valk Elite, which happens to be my main

I voted for dollar store cube because some of them will scrape black plastic dust everywhere just by doing regular turns. I have no idea where companies even source such cheap and brittle plastic.

I used to use Guanlong cubes for MBLD. They are trash and their core breaks easily, R2 D' R' U' R' E R u R D R2 .

You can make dollar store cubes better with some sandpaper, rounding off the pieces, and lubing it with wd-40. I lost my dollar store cube but it wasn’t the worst turning cube I own. I have an 80’s Rubiks brand from my grandparents house that I peeled off the stickers and it turns soooooo bad

wait you peeled of the stickers? was that when you were a non cuber or something?

Yeah this was when I was like 6 and didn’t know how to solve it. I am guilty of my worst pet peeve. There was like an orange red edge and a blue blue green corner, so I just took off the stickers.

The best method for the 1$ cube is sticker peeling.

Speaking as an '80's cuber, the EARLY Rubik's brand cubes were not as bad as many posts on here seem to suggest. For a few years, they were actually screwed together, hence you could adjust them. None of the 'so tight they hardly turn' stuff that afflicted the later cheaper-to-make riveted mechanism. Plus, they lended themselves to modifications, as the plastic was fairly thick, so you could 'round off' the obvious square edges etc to give a bit of corner cutting.
The generic 'dollar store cube' gets my vote, they were bad in 1980, and they seem worse today. I spotted some yesterday in my local supermarket, stickered up with some cheap Christmas theme, nasty looking things. Probably made from 35 year old moulds.

( I like the earlier reference to blue-blue-green corners, made me laugh. And it reminded me that a girl in my class at school had a cheapo cube that had two green faces and a black unstickered face, it was a novelty to solve.)

i'm damn tired of the sticker peeling joke, its not even a joke at this time.

 

[Jam88]

Yeah... although non cubers find it hilarious lol
