At number three we find our first genuine premium speed cube. What sets this factory magnetised Weilong speed cube apart is that this MoYu Sub-Brand has literally dominated the speedcubing world for the last five years and the V3M is no exception. Other than brilliant performance the unique features of this cube includes slight outer ridges around the edge of the cube and a spring compression gear adjustment system which allows you to easily set your preferred solving tensions. At number four we have easily the most popular - yet most expensive - speed cube ever.
Amazingly, reviews for this cube as consistently five stars and few are ever disappointed - it seems you do actually get what you pay for. Have a look at the product description as the features on this premium cube is as long as your arm and we could fill this entire blog with every detailed design feature that Mr.
Gan has brought to the cube. Take what you want - but be ready to pay for it! Finally coming in at number 5 we have a newish kid on the block - the MS Magnetic Speed cube from QiYi has proven extremely popular for a cube which has really not been around for very long but has quickly cemented its place as a new contender for most popular cube of It really has not been around for very long - but early reviews and sales data suggest you will see this little ripper in our next list of top 5 speedcubes.
The dual adjustment can help you modify the magnet strength easily. The cubes come with a corner-core magnetic positioning system, which encompasses 64 magnets that are placed omnidirectionally from the core.
This creates a consistent magnetic movement without any aggressive snap. Overall, this is a phenomenal cube and especially for those who are looking for a compact and smaller design. Everyone has their own considerations when it comes to choosing a cube. However, it is a mix of traits, features, or characteristics that influence this decision. They help in determining the overall quality and seamless functionality the cube has to offer. Cubes can generally fall into two categories when it comes to the speed of turning.
These categories are fast turning cubes and smooth turning cubes. Such cubes that are optimized for speed, have lesser friction between the layers. This means there is minimal resistance. Therefore, turning the layers feels light, fast, and requires very little effort. With such a cube, you can quickly perform algorithms and reach your goal at the earliest. However, you might not always be in control of the layers if you are a beginner.
You can also also check the speed of solving cube using cube timers. The cubes that fall into this category have more friction between the layers. It gives a smooth feeling and provides precise layer turns.
Even though such cubes have more resistance, you will have quite a control over the movements. Between these two categories, there is no better choice. It is important to understand whether or not the cube is integrated perfectly with such characteristics.
For example, a fast-turning cube that provides no control is definitely poorly made and will not help in the execution of algorithms. Similarly, if a smooth turning cube requires a lot of effort to turn the layers, then it has been poorly designed as it will cost you a lot of energy and speed.
Corner cutting is the ability for a cube to make a turn even if the vertical face is not completely aligned while performing an algorithm.
In the event that you are speedcubing, corner-cutting is a characteristic that you must look-out for as it is an essential factor. This characteristic offers room for flexibility and fluidity. In fact, the cubes today allow for 45 degrees corner-cutting. It means that the cube can realign when the top face is turned over 45 degrees forward. But how can you recognize a good corner-cutting? Well, corner-cutting is executed effortlessly! Generally speaking, this cube feels smooth and precise but it also has a crunchy feel to it.
MoYu is one of the most recognizable names in the speedcubing world and for a good reason. They made some of the best speedcubes that ever hit the marketplace and are always there to innovate.
These ridges are there to improve the grip and they help when you are doing extremely fast executions. This puzzle brought an adjustable spring system that is separated from adjusting the screws so that you have more customization options. The GTS3 has excellent speed and now even more than before but this is not something that the beginners will fully enjoy.
Luckily the cube comes in the magnetic version which I absolutely recommend and it can easily be adjusted to offer more controlability. This cube will not let you down and the solving is effortless. MoYu is one of the biggest speedcubes brands today and the GTS V2 is still known as their prime model. It is used by many world class cubers and was used for a few world breaking results.
MoYu WeiLong GTS V2 M has excellent turning speed and it goes to the point of being too fast out of the box for beginner cubers because of the lack of the stability but with the proper lube, you can get more control out of it.
Magnets on this WCA version help a lot too. The cubes size is This cube was used by SeungBeom Cho to break the world record for a single solve of 4. And later it was used by YuSheng Du to set a world record of 3. The GTS M2 combines its speed with magnets so it is no wonder it was used to get the best single solve.
I love this cube from QiYi because of its affordability and good value for its price. This is one of the best budget cubes. This may be the best speedcube for a beginner if he is not looking into spending more. The turning of this cube is smooth enough to give you controlability over it but it is also quite fast making it a great budget cube for speedsolving.
This puzzle is controllable but it is also quite loud and clicky. Magnets are on the strong side which help with the precision of the algorithm execution.
Overall for a budget cube the QiYi MS does more than what you pay making it the best cube for the money. This is great for beginners and even some professionals that loved it. Information for records used from www. After reading this speed cube buying guide you are well on your way to having a positive speed cubing experience. However, the fact that the speedcubing community and successful cubers are opting for certain cubes over the others is helping you scout through the huge array of options.
You should choose the cube whose features you like the most because that will determine the first few months of this beautiful hobby if you are a beginner. I did my best to present the best speed cubes for various cuber types and budgets. Keep in mind that you can change the cubes features up to a certain extent so if the cube you liked offered very fast turning with a touch of smoothness you should know that you can give it more smoothness using lubes and etc.
Cubes are not stuck to their manufactured state. Pro tip for absolute beginners:. Best cubes for speedcubing today are made by various manufacturers and are usually sold over the internet. Pro tip:. New ones need to be used for a while until their layers smooth out and only then you can judge if you need to adjust the tension or add lube. It is best when adjusting it little by little and that is why I call it fine tuning. Loading Comments Email Required Name Required Website.
