I hope this helps some of you choose your very first speed cube as you enter the crazy and wonderful world of cubing! Of course these are my opinions only, but with prices being so low these days, it really makes sense that you get a magnetic cube. From Daily Puzzles of course. Please. Do it for the kids.
The kids that start cubing are spoiled, having this type of quality content 😮 Also my advice would be that; to just get started it doesn't really matter what cube you use (it's just to figure out the basics so a better cube won't help here) but if you don't own a cube yet, or really want to get into speed cubing, then yes the cubes Tingman recommend are awesome (although I haven't tried the thunderclap v3 yet 🤔)
A speed cube will allow you to turn more easily, making it easier to learn new algorithms. I know some people are just trying to solve the cube once or twice, and not aim for world records, but turning more easily means you can learn at a faster pace and will less muscle fatigue. So I disagree with you, a speed cube is better than just any old cube for learning purposes.
For people watching now, the RS3M 2020 is also very good! Its a little bit like the QiYi MS, but its a bit newer, better and nicer feeling in my opinion. You can also change the springs which is a nice bonus.
Thank you for this video. My grandson is Cuber NYC, and watching his videos reminded me of the great fun I had when I bought a cube in 1980. I worked at Boeing Airplanes, and an engineer told me about the Rubik's Cube. Another engineer published a small paper on solving the cube, otherwise I might still be trying to figure it out. Rapidly it became apparent the (original) cubes were slow, so I would take mine apart, use 600-grit paper to smooth the pieces and lube it with petroleum jelly. :p I bought a QiYi clock and have enjoyed it, and decided to get a decent cube--for fun. This video is Great! Thank you for laying it out there. BTW, I can now do the clock sub-7. I set a timer for seven minutes and can finish before the timer goes off. I hope to do the cube (I ordered a Thunderclap on your advice) in sub-10 minutes. You kids are amazing in your quickness. It's fun for this old guy to watch your videos. Thank you. Stay fast, stay healthy.
My tip: Don't buy an expensive cube right off the bat. I'm a fairly new cuber, but I've learned a lot in my time. My first cube was a Rubik's 2x2, and then went straight in for a Gan 356 RS. The Gan RS is about 18 or 20 USD, and, like stated in the video, it was a mistake because it's non-magnetic. Take his examples on some good budget magnetic cubes and buy one, but if you really want to go for a non-magnetic cube, buy the Little Magic. It's one of the cheapest cubes and can hold up at competitions, and because it's cheap, it won't be too overly taxing on your wallet. But seriously, just buy a cheap magnetic cube like stated in the video.
Benjamin Miller when I first started I got a really cheap qiyi cube or something which wasn’t that worst then when I went to my first competition and was averaging like 35 secs then I got like a 35 dollar cube which I probably shouldn’t have :( then for I think Christmas I got a Gans sm when I averaged like 25-30 then the Christmas two years later I got a gans xs when averaging 20-25 to start averaging like 18-23
One tip I have for New Cubers ( I'm not very advanced, I average 18 or 19) is to please learn the most efficient ways to do algorithms. If you start doing an algorithm that is comfortable for you at the start , but is not efficient, you will be stuck with that and it's hard to change into a new habit. I still do my Uperms in the worst way possible after even 1 year. So please learn the right fingertricks Edit: I am practicing the mu uperms with good fingertricks and i am improving a lot. Btw I average 15 to 17 seconds now, which is not much, mainly because i hadntt been cubing for some time
I’ve been solving the Cube since I was in high school back in 1982, (yes, I’m old 😬) however, I thought cubing had died out over the years, until I recently stumbled upon this video by Tingman telling me “It’s time I got a better cube.” This helped me discover that cubing had made an amazing resurgence that I was completely unaware of. I just wish I had found out much sooner that there was such a great cubing community out there! I have since got back into cubing (after many many years) and I owe it all to Tingman’s video. So a big THANK YOU to Tingman!
Definitely wish I had this a few years back. I would just recommend that people do some research before buying pretty much anything. Specifically for cubing, don’t stress too much over what your first speedcube will be, there’s always gonna be a chance to upgrade as hardware improves over time. Plus, cubes at lower prices now are so good anyways! Great video, thanks for making this!
Tingman, you are simply the greatest cubing youtuber as you devote so much time and effort into entertaining us. You and Olor are so great for simply being yourselves. Thank you
Just bought a cube from dailypuzzles. I live in Australia and this is way cheaper than other websites like speedcubeshop which is only in the US, the discount code also helped a lot. I also tipped and stuff I’m so grateful for this, thanks man you saved me 30$ on shipping etc.
Wow the tingman in this video was so excited and enthusiastic! I can feel the atmosphere changing and can't wait for what you've got planned next week!
Also feels stupid when you know what some people who average 10-15 would give for a GAN 356 XS and you as a 27sec cuber own a 356X, 356Xv2, 356XS and Cosmic 356XS with PVC coating alongside all the other current flagships. :D.
I've been using a yuxin kylin v2 m that I've been reasonably happy with - honestly any cube that fits the criteria Tingman described is probably fine. I fully realize that my times (down to ~25 right now from >1 min) are dependent on my look-ahead and algorithms, and getting a more expensive cube isn't really going to help that. That said, if you think you will enjoy solving on a fancier cube and you have the money, go for it because I think the most important thing is that you're motivated to do lots of solves and practice
i'd like to add tht the more important factor is the feeling of the cube if the feeling of the cube is shitty, u won't practice much and vice verca so like when u are buying, try to keep in mind the feeling of the cube too
Thanks Tingman. I'm just learning to solve so after only two days of practice with my store-bought Rubik's, I'm looking for something that is fun to use rather than frustrating. I really appreciate the recommendations.
Tips: 1. Buy a yuxin little magic 2. Buy a yuxin little magic 3. Buy a yuxin little magic 4. Buy a yuxin little magic 5. Buy a yuxin little magic 6. Buy a yuxin little magic 7. Buy a yuxin little magic 8. Buy a yuxin little magic 9. Buy a yuxin little magic 10. Think about the mf3rs
My biggest tip for newer cubers, is make sure to buy some lube, and clean out your cube. Lube is meant to keep the dust out, and dust can make cube performance really bad.
I recommend the Thunderclap v3 M bc If you get the right tension it is a very good cube it also takes time to work it out before you have good Corner cutting
For newer cubes: Get a sticker less cube, get a magnetized cube, watch videos on the cube you want (like a review), don’t spend more than 20$, and probably just get the moyu rs3m 2020 or 2021
I wish I watched a video like when buying my first speed cube. I ended up with a Yuxin Fire which felt very odd then and pretty terrible now. My first “real” speed cube was a Gan Air, which get infinitely better then and pretty mediocre now. My first magnetic cube was a Thunderclap v3 as Tingman mentioned in the video and it felt amazing when I got it and still pretty good! My current main is a Dayan Tengyun v2, which took a while to set up but feels great now. I wish it was as quiet as the V1 though. In summary, I can recommend the Thunderclap v3. It is a solid cube that doesn’t need any adjustment out of the box. Also, it’s not too loud, which is a huge deal to me. I’m not the fastest, but I’ve been sub 15 on the Thunderclap plenty of times, and people are able to be sub 10 with it, so it has potential. You’ll eventually outgrow it, but what you would evolve to would be something that would not be a good choice to start out with.
@@ThatChester Now as fast as that might sound, you'd just take out the screw and the cube would fall apart. What you can do is purchase a Gan robot to turn it for you. Lol.
In hindsight, I think the best method would be putting one layer in the tire of a car and the other 2 layers hanging out. That would give insane speeds.
my top tip for new cubers is to not buy too expensive of a cube, right now the mf3rs, yuxin little magic and meilong are all really good 3x3s, and by the time you get faster and you need a better cube, cubing hardware might have improved. edit: you could magnetize these cubes however there are cubes that are factory magnetic that are really good. like the thunderclap v3m, or if you can find it, a magnetic mf3rs2
I still think that the Ms is ahead of the cubes you mentioned. Ms has get great review from all the cubing channel who review it and most importantly J perm. Mf3rs is very tight out of the box. Little magic is a bit slow and mielong is below average cube out of the box. Out of the box performance matter for beginners and magnitize version of them are over $15 which is the price of Wuewie M.
My opinion and tips are 1. Get a magnetic cube. 2. Get a cube that you feel you would like but don’t buy a cube that’s super expensive as a new cube could come out after you buy yours. 3.Get a cube from an online store as they do have options you can chose to help you professionally set up your cube as you are a beginner, you shouldn’t over whelm yourself with setting up the cubes. 4.get a cube that fits nicely in your hands 5. watch cube reviews before you buy anything 6. If there’s a cube you want to get and know someone who has it, try out the cube before buying it!
Thanks for this video. It took me 42 years to solve the cube for the first time 🤣. I got the basic Rubik’s Cube and have a best time of 1:47. Corner cutting has been the most annoying thing as I work on getting faster. I ordered my first speed cube today from GAN. Looking forward to improving even more.
Been playing with a $6 dollar rubiks brand for around a year. Every time I wind up on duty for 24hrs, I grind through some new algorithms and techniques.... I'm getting to a point where I really do need something better. I just ordered a gan 356m lite, and I'm really excited to see the difference Update: I've been playing with the gan for the last few weeks and holy crap is it a pleasure to play with. I took my old cube with me into wet and sand places so I wouldn't damage the gan.... I appreciate having a nice cube more than ever!
I am a cuber that started a few months ago, I average sub 20 and my main is a Gan 11 M pro. It is a very good flagship cube with a lot of customization options, but it is a bit pricey. If you are on a budget and want a good flagship speed cube, I recommend the Rs3m 2020 at only 14 dollars or the Gan 356 R S speed cube.
RBM Cubing Also, cubesolvehero and tingman are doing a thing where the first person who reaches 50k subs gets to use their discount code to their sponsored shop and spend 100 dollars. Yes the first one who reaches 50k does it.
I would say it isn't too good to get a magnetic cube for your first speed cube because the feeling is very different and takes time to get used to so I would say get a cube that has decent corner cutting and nice turning.
Hey! I just bought a YuLong v2m and it is on the way......I’ll edit this comment as soon as I use and solve it a few times and add the time and corner cutting angles and turn speed here......
my 1st speedcube (i still use it) is the roxenda cube. ist really fast,can corner cut from like 45* (if lubed. luve is not included) and its really quiet!
I know that I am commenting on this late :D but my advice to someone getting into cubing and buying a cube is that they don't buy the most expensive cube becuz u don't need it as a beginner it's best u buy a cube that is good but not too expensive I also advise that u get a magnetic cube. I recommend u take a look at the qiyi ms, YJ mgc elite and if u have the cash to spear Gan 356 m
1st tip I have for buying speed cubes is do not buy expensive cubes if you are just starting out because a better one will come out when you actually need it and you really don’t need a expensive cube to begin with so I recommend doing some research beforehand and figure out a good budget speedcube. Oh and welcome to the cubing community
Not a shopping tip, but generally, it's fine to make mistakes! We all make them and that's the only way to learn, it's the drive for us to be perfect, it's what makes us want to continue.
My personal favorites: Budget 3x3: MoYu RS3M 2020 It’s fully magnetized, has 2 types of customizable settings, and best of all, it’s only 8 - 9 bucks (USD)
I am a speed cuber with a average of around 6 to 7 seconds and I would recommend a sail w for your first speed cube because it's a budget cube with a very comfortable structure esspacially for people with small hands
Tip :you can still buy expensive cubes in the start and you'll get used to it and you will feel better and have a lot of motivation but it will wear out a little if your budget is tight i reccomend youre better buying off the YLM M , rs3m 2020 , meilong m But if youre budget is super tight just get any cube you want that have a cheap price and if youre getting the best cube then wait a bit because better hardware will come in about a year so decide well
Guys, if you're looking to buy a speedcube while starting off, go for the RS3M. It's a top level cube for the mere price of 8-9 dollars. It's amazing and should be considered for everyone.
If your a beginner cuber I would recommend starting with a non magnetic mofang cube as it should be a smoother step up from a rubik's brand but not much of a different feel but enough to feel the difference also there cheap
Just got myself a GAN I carry as my first official cube at 42, after my 4 year old showed interest. Had a cube in my late teens and could solve under a minute before I have up the hobby. Wish me luck
for those new cubers watching now, these cubes are still great recommendations, but the RS3M 2020 and Yuxin Little Magic M are both amazing current, especially the RS3M 2020
@@genesiskyleaquino9181 I have not used the meilong m but a few months ago I upgraded from a rubik to the non magnetic meilong. I have not tried any lubes and that would probably make a bit of difference. Compared to a rubik beand cube the meilong was wonderful but a few days ago I bought the rs3 m 2020 because it just wasn't quite as good as I wanted. I watched a few videos that ranked cubes and the meilong m wasn't ranked the worst. Definitely a decent cube for the price.
in my opinion, a good starter cube which you can get for literally under 5 pounds or 7 dollars, is the QiYi Warrior S, with some adjustments it can get really fast and can give you some good solves. no, it isnt magnetic, but for beginners it can be great.
My best cubes are probably the.. 1.gan 11 m duo 2 gan 11 m pro 3.gan 356 m 4.MoYu RS3 m 2020 5.MoYu weilong gts3 m 6.MoYu weilong WR m 2020 These cubes are personally my best 3x3 cubes, My main cubes are the gan 11 m pro and the MoYu RS3 m 2020, The gan cubes listed above are known for being expensive so if you have a tighter budget then you should try purchasing a MoYu. I recommend number 4 and 6 in terms of cheaper cubes-Remember cheaper does not mean worse! For the gan cubes number 1 and 2 are the same just one is slightly more expensive but you can adjust the magnets. Happy buying!
When you’re getting your first speed cube, here’s a tip: gets a Rubiks cube that says that it is fast, but if you’re online, for instance, on dailypuzzles you can just search up speed cube, and put like a $30 budget at max (basically don’t be like me and buy an $85 gan 13M MagLev UV 3 x 3).
My tip is that if u wanna find ur first cube watch reviews of all the cubes u want and after that decide which one best suits u and which one u would like a good cube for beginners would be the jperm rs3m 2020
MoYu has a outstanding budget speedcube called the RS3M its like 10 dollars and is magnetic hence the M in its name, you can adjust the springs too if you pop the center caps off. The corner cutting is exceptional expecially because its price. It now has a MagLev version which basically just removes the springs with repelling magnets to make it faster its around 10 dollars more but is a great cube if you or someone you know has just starting cubing
My tip is that when you’re buying your first speedcube is that don’t be buying the best of the best cube. Just try maybe a budget cube and once you feel more comfortable get a better cube. That’s it. (Posting this before I watched this so idk if he already said this is the vid)
my tip ive been cubing since 4 years now. i prefer a stickered cube to start off with cuz its easier to switch to stickerless then to switch from stickerless to stickered so basically u don't *have to* buy it online just go to a big supermarket where there is a bunch of cubes which are opened by nosy little kids and use tht opportunity to see if the cube is good or not. if u don't know anythgin about em, just take ur cuber friend the things u need to keep in mind are: *corner cutting * and most importantly, the feeling of turning the cube smotth or clicky(*your preference) and u can use tht until u become like sub 30-ish so basically u are buying like a 3-5 dollar cube rather than like10 dollars u can use tht money to buy other puzzles
I would say to read the reviews on the website before deciding to buy the cube to see what other people think of the cube and if they don’t like it, what they would recommend for the newbie. I encourage all seasoned speed cubers to write reviews on all of the cubes that they own to help new speedcubers
A great cube to start out with as a beginner is the yuxin little magic. It comes in both stickered and stickerless. A smooth cube for only $5. This is only my opinion but you do what makes you feel comfortable.
Buying tip: If your looking to spend a ton of moola (like me)i reccomend a gancube (apple of cubing) or too like the 11 M pro (65$)or the xs (i think like 55$) and if your not one of the cubers who is not wanting to spend a otn of money but still want to get a decent cube (not like me) then I reccomend the MFSRS32020 (10 bucks)
Literally bro, I watched a lot of cubers and cubing channel but none of them is like you. You are amazing bro and you can't think that how much happy am I by watching your video. Literally amazing personality and I am well impressed by you sir. I have liked and subscribed your channel and really I am feeling very much happiness to become a part of your family. Love from india
If you want the cheapest cube, get the meilong ($4 USD) If you want a decent cube, get the RS3 M 2020 ($10 USD) If you want the best cube, get the GAN 11 M Pro ($65) but I don’t recommend getting a GAN cube until you are sub 20 or sub 15 because it won’t make a difference from the RS3 until you are that standard and there will probably be a better GAN cube when you are that standard, so you will be wasting money
Seasoned cubes here and I would recommend looking for a speed cube based in your country or in a nearby country and then compare prises(including shipping) then, if they have one, join there loyalty programme.
if there is no cap to the money limit, get a really good cube like an 11M pro or a weilong WR M, also buy lube, i would recommend lunar, Martian and dmn-37
What speedcube should you get you ask? Now you have some good options, Like, Yuxin Little Magic v2 M(around 9$) or, the legendary rs3M 2020(similar price), this is the cube that J perm mains at the moment! Awesome, right?The `Budget' cubes came a long qay, right? Thank you!
I hope this helps some of you choose your very first speed cube as you enter the crazy and wonderful world of cubing! Of course these are my opinions only, but with prices being so low these days, it really makes sense that you get a magnetic cube. From Daily Puzzles of course. Please. Do it for the kids.

Its a little bit like the QiYi MS, but its a bit newer, better and nicer feeling in my opinion. You can also change the springs which is a nice bonus.
Just ordered a second one because it's so good. I would recommend a magnet upgrade though
I bought one from sCs (speedcubershop) like betwen 14 and 19 days ago and im still waiting cuz they didnt have it in stock
I agree, very good in budget and it’s my main right now. $9 for a magnetic cube is so great

My biggest tip for newer cubers, is make sure to buy some lube, and clean out your cube.
Lube is meant to keep the dust out, and dust can make cube performance really bad.
Martian or gan Magic?
is there a way to clean your cube without lube?
I recommend the Thunderclap v3 M bc If you get the right tension it is a very good cube it also takes time to work it out before you have good Corner cutting
For newer cubes: Get a sticker less cube, get a magnetized cube, watch videos on the cube you want (like a review), don’t spend more than 20$, and probably just get the moyu rs3m 2020 or 2021
I wish I watched a video like when buying my first speed cube. I ended up with a Yuxin Fire which felt very odd then and pretty terrible now. My first “real” speed cube was a Gan Air, which get infinitely better then and pretty mediocre now. My first magnetic cube was a Thunderclap v3 as Tingman mentioned in the video and it felt amazing when I got it and still pretty good! My current main is a Dayan Tengyun v2, which took a while to set up but feels great now. I wish it was as quiet as the V1 though.
In summary, I can recommend the Thunderclap v3. It is a solid cube that doesn’t need any adjustment out of the box. Also, it’s not too loud, which is a huge deal to me. I’m not the fastest, but I’ve been sub 15 on the Thunderclap plenty of times, and people are able to be sub 10 with it, so it has potential. You’ll eventually outgrow it, but what you would evolve to would be something that would not be a good choice to start out with.
When you're starting out, I'd reccomend getting a fast cube because it gives you the ability to turn as fast as you want.
Too lazy to use my fingers. Can I use a drill instead?
@@ThatChester Now as fast as that might sound, you'd just take out the screw and the cube would fall apart. What you can do is purchase a Gan robot to turn it for you. Lol.
In hindsight, I think the best method would be putting one layer in the tire of a car and the other 2 layers hanging out. That would give insane speeds.
my top tip for new cubers is to not buy too expensive of a cube, right now the mf3rs, yuxin little magic and meilong are all really good 3x3s, and by the time you get faster and you need a better cube, cubing hardware might have improved.
edit: you could magnetize these cubes however there are cubes that are factory magnetic that are really good. like the thunderclap v3m, or if you can find it, a magnetic mf3rs2
I still think that the Ms is ahead of the cubes you mentioned. Ms has get great review from all the cubing channel who review it and most importantly J perm. Mf3rs is very tight out of the box. Little magic is a bit slow and mielong is below average cube out of the box. Out of the box performance matter for beginners and magnitize version of them are over $15 which is the price of Wuewie M.
The qiyi ms is SOOOOO awesome so I would recommend that one
when i bought my first speedcube the Little Magic wasnt popular
mf3rs2 is discontinued tho
My opinion and tips are
1. Get a magnetic cube.
2. Get a cube that you feel you would like but don’t buy a cube that’s super expensive as a new cube could come out after you buy yours.
3.Get a cube from an online store as they do have options you can chose to help you professionally set up your cube as you are a beginner, you shouldn’t over whelm yourself with setting up the cubes.
4.get a cube that fits nicely in your hands
5. watch cube reviews before you buy anything
6. If there’s a cube you want to get and know someone who has it, try out the cube before buying it!
Thanks for this video. It took me 42 years to solve the cube for the first time 🤣. I got the basic Rubik’s Cube and have a best time of 1:47. Corner cutting has been the most annoying thing as I work on getting faster. I ordered my first speed cube today from GAN. Looking forward to improving even more.
Been playing with a $6 dollar rubiks brand for around a year. Every time I wind up on duty for 24hrs, I grind through some new algorithms and techniques.... I'm getting to a point where I really do need something better. I just ordered a gan 356m lite, and I'm really excited to see the difference
Update: I've been playing with the gan for the last few weeks and holy crap is it a pleasure to play with. I took my old cube with me into wet and sand places so I wouldn't damage the gan.... I appreciate having a nice cube more than ever!
7:02 subscribe? You’re still racing with cube solve hero right?
@@theqber and cube solve hero is 45k he is gonna win!
I would still rather pay 100 dollars like he did at scs but get 50k subs. And i do usually shop at daily puzzles except cosmic lubes
Jack Fuller mhm he won
@@Chickeneater_69420 or lost... depending
Hey Tingman,
I loved this video, just like all your other videos. I’m really exited for what you have planned next week!
As always, keep it up 👍 !
I am a cuber that started a few months ago, I average sub 20 and my main is a Gan 11 M pro. It is a very good flagship cube with a lot of customization options, but it is a bit pricey. If you are on a budget and want a good flagship speed cube, I recommend the Rs3m 2020 at only 14 dollars or the Gan 356 R S speed cube.
Or maybe gan 11 m duo
If you’re starting of speed cubing I recommend the QiQi cube for beginners if you’re starting off solving the cube and you only have a Rubiks brand
tinman is about to buy cubes at the speed cube shop just 900 more subs
no he lives in australia and daily puzzles is already amazing
How is that relevant to what he just said?
RBM Cubing Also, cubesolvehero and tingman are doing a thing where the first person who reaches 50k subs gets to use their discount code to their sponsored shop and spend 100 dollars. Yes the first one who reaches 50k does it.
Now it's 800 More
陈世敏 how is that related to what he said
I would personally recommend something like a Qiyi or maybe a yuxin magic at a low price being fairly fast but also a lot more beginner
Wait, why was there no rs3?
Oh wait, it didn’t come out yet
Thanks for the advice. I was so impressed I immediately followed the link and used your code for a cube and a pyramid.
Thank you so much!
I would say it isn't too good to get a magnetic cube for your first speed cube because the feeling is very different and takes time to get used to so I would say get a cube that has decent corner cutting and nice turning.
Hey!
I just bought a YuLong v2m and it is on the way......I’ll edit this comment as soon as I use and solve it a few times and add the time and corner cutting angles and turn speed here......
my 1st speedcube (i still use it) is the roxenda cube. ist really fast,can corner cut from like 45* (if lubed. luve is not included) and its really quiet!
Really good videos
Olor: I am better
Ting man: no
Me : seriously
I know that I am commenting on this late :D but my advice to someone getting into cubing and buying a cube is that they don't buy the most expensive cube becuz u don't need it as a beginner it's best u buy a cube that is good but not too expensive I also advise that u get a magnetic cube. I recommend u take a look at the qiyi ms, YJ mgc elite and if u have the cash to spear Gan 356 m
I wish if i saw this earlier 🌝, I bought GAN 356X by 44 dollar
1st tip I have for buying speed cubes is do not buy expensive cubes if you are just starting out because a better one will come out when you actually need it and you really don’t need a expensive cube to begin with so I recommend doing some research beforehand and figure out a good budget speedcube.
Oh and welcome to the cubing community
I'm here in 2021, I would recommend the RS3 M 2020 for new and good speed cubers
Creds to jperm
You forgot to say that when you enter cubing theres *NO SCAPE* : )
*I've been speedcubing for over 6 years, and bought over 200 speedcubes, and my advice would be: "get the wuwei, get the wuwei, get the wuwei."*
Not a shopping tip, but generally, it's fine to make mistakes! We all make them and that's the only way to learn, it's the drive for us to be perfect, it's what makes us want to continue.
My personal favorites:
Budget 3x3: MoYu RS3M 2020
It’s fully magnetized, has 2 types of customizable settings, and best of all, it’s only 8 - 9 bucks (USD)
To be honest u can get a sub-30 on a Rubik’s brand cube but the feeling it is not good at all.
You can get a sub 10
I am a speed cuber with a average of around 6 to 7 seconds and I would recommend a sail w for your first speed cube because it's a budget cube with a very comfortable structure esspacially for people with small hands
Please make "how to be sub -x" series tingman
Love your videos a lot BTW.😁😁😁
Tip :you can still buy expensive cubes in the start and you'll get used to it and you will feel better and have a lot of motivation but it will wear out a little if your budget is tight i reccomend youre better buying off the YLM M , rs3m 2020 , meilong m
But if youre budget is super tight just get any cube you want that have a cheap price and if youre getting the best cube then wait a bit because better hardware will come in about a year so decide well
*i can’t even since a rubik’s brand yet this is amazing*
Tingman: So in summary, looking for a speedcube in 2020, 3 options
Subtitles: So in summary looking for a first B cube in 2023 $10
😂😂😂😂
Yuxin little magic
AM I A JOKE TO YOU???
Ting man says that the ms is one of the best cubes. RS3M 2020 comes out. MS: I CANT COMPETE!
My first speedcube was a Valk 3 and I still love it.
I am a new guy in cubes world.
And I can fully solve the 3x3 but I am a new learner. And your video helped me .
Thank you
me, knowing my dad won't even buy a cube for me online:
ok
Yup that used to be me
lemme guess, budget cubes?
edit: haha i get those doe
Easy. Get a budget Meilong, then a better GAN
Guys, if you're looking to buy a speedcube while starting off, go for the RS3M. It's a top level cube for the mere price of 8-9 dollars. It's amazing and should be considered for everyone.
If your a beginner cuber I would recommend starting with a non magnetic mofang cube as it should be a smoother step up from a rubik's brand but not much of a different feel but enough to feel the difference also there cheap
Tingman: Expecting people to put tips like what cubes or how much you should pay
Everybody: NOT AMAZON NO NO NO NO AMAZON IS NOT THE PLACE
I am getting my Gan cube from Amazon because shopping is way cheaper
Same! I just bought the gan 356m from Amazon because,free shipping
@@lucienbousquet4431 that’s what I got!
@@havon the m is amazing
@@lucienbousquet4431 mine isn’t here yet it’s shipping
Never get a Rubik's Brand. Like if agree.
What is a "Rubick's brand?"
Legend says Tingman will Pin this comment
Legend says that you will be wrong
no
Tingman: Don't tell anyone. It's just for you!
THE OTHER 300,000 VIEWERS: k man
I have a 2 dollar speedcube. Yes you can buy a decent 2 dollar/140 rupees speedcubes in India!
And yeah, it was my first 3x3!
Thank you I got the Ms magnetic and it’s so fun a little on the slippery side,doesn’t have much corner cutting but it’s still great
Just got myself a GAN I carry as my first official cube at 42, after my 4 year old showed interest. Had a cube in my late teens and could solve under a minute before I have up the hobby. Wish me luck
for those new cubers watching now, these cubes are still great recommendations, but the RS3M 2020 and Yuxin Little Magic M are both amazing current, especially the RS3M 2020
What about the meilong m ?
@@genesiskyleaquino9181 I have not used the meilong m but a few months ago I upgraded from a rubik to the non magnetic meilong. I have not tried any lubes and that would probably make a bit of difference. Compared to a rubik beand cube the meilong was wonderful but a few days ago I bought the rs3 m 2020 because it just wasn't quite as good as I wanted. I watched a few videos that ranked cubes and the meilong m wasn't ranked the worst. Definitely a decent cube for the price.
in my opinion, a good starter cube which you can get for literally under 5 pounds or 7 dollars, is the QiYi Warrior S, with some adjustments it can get really fast and can give you some good solves. no, it isnt magnetic, but for beginners it can be great.
Oh and tip for new cubers, an 8 dollar cube called the rs3m is currently my main and it’s fantastic
My best cubes are probably the..
1.gan 11 m duo
2 gan 11 m pro
3.gan 356 m
4.MoYu RS3 m 2020
5.MoYu weilong gts3 m
6.MoYu weilong WR m 2020
These cubes are personally my best 3x3 cubes, My main cubes are the gan 11 m pro and the MoYu RS3 m 2020, The gan cubes listed above are known for being expensive so if you have a tighter budget then you should try purchasing a MoYu. I recommend number 4 and 6 in terms of cheaper cubes-Remember cheaper does not mean worse! For the gan cubes number 1 and 2 are the same just one is slightly more expensive but you can adjust the magnets. Happy buying!
the best budget cubes are the rs3m 2020, qiyims 2x2, meilong 4x4, and qiyims pyraminx
When you’re getting your first speed cube, here’s a tip: gets a Rubiks cube that says that it is fast, but if you’re online, for instance, on dailypuzzles you can just search up speed cube, and put like a $30 budget at max (basically don’t be like me and buy an $85 gan 13M MagLev UV 3 x 3).
My tip is that if u wanna find ur first cube watch reviews of all the cubes u want and after that decide which one best suits u and which one u would like a good cube for beginners would be the jperm rs3m 2020
MoYu has a outstanding budget speedcube called the RS3M its like 10 dollars and is magnetic hence the M in its name, you can adjust the springs too if you pop the center caps off. The corner cutting is exceptional expecially because its price. It now has a MagLev version which basically just removes the springs with repelling magnets to make it faster its around 10 dollars more but is a great cube if you or someone you know has just starting cubing
I luckily got an rs3m for 5 dollar thanks to a sale lol
My tip is that when you’re buying your first speedcube is that don’t be buying the best of the best cube. Just try maybe a budget cube and once you feel more comfortable get a better cube. That’s it. (Posting this before I watched this so idk if he already said this is the vid)
Love the Star Wars references.
Thank you so much this helped my grandaughter so much
This is a good video for beginners let alone beginners trying to buy cubes
my tip
ive been cubing since 4 years now.
i prefer a stickered cube to start off with cuz its easier to switch to stickerless then to switch from stickerless to stickered
so basically u don't *have to* buy it online
just go to a big supermarket where there is a bunch of cubes which are opened by nosy little kids and use tht opportunity to see if the cube is good or not. if u don't know anythgin about em, just take ur cuber friend
the things u need to keep in mind are:
*corner cutting
* and most importantly, the feeling of turning the cube
smotth or clicky(*your preference)
and u can use tht until u become like sub 30-ish
so basically u are buying like a 3-5 dollar cube rather than like10 dollars
u can use tht money to buy other puzzles
and u can mod the magnets if u really want or just upgrade em down the road
I would say to read the reviews on the website before deciding to buy the cube to see what other people think of the cube and if they don’t like it, what they would recommend for the newbie. I encourage all seasoned speed cubers to write reviews on all of the cubes that they own to help new speedcubers
A great cube to start out with as a beginner is the yuxin little magic. It comes in both stickered and stickerless. A smooth cube for only $5. This is only my opinion but you do what makes you feel comfortable.
Buying tip: If your looking to spend a ton of moola (like me)i reccomend a gancube (apple of cubing) or too like the 11 M pro (65$)or the xs (i think like 55$) and if your not one of the cubers who is not wanting to spend a otn of money but still want to get a decent cube (not like me) then I reccomend the MFSRS32020 (10 bucks)
Probably the best tip i have is probably go for a magnetic budget cube such as a Moyu Meilong 3M, Or Yuxin Little Magic
Literally bro, I watched a lot of cubers and cubing channel but none of them is like you.
You are amazing bro and you can't think that how much happy am I by watching your video. Literally amazing personality and I am well impressed by you sir.
I have liked and subscribed your channel and really I am feeling very much happiness to become a part of your family.
Love from india
Thanks for your kind words!
@@Tingman thank you so much sir .
I am feeling proud that read my message. Thank you again sir
Thank you! I chose the thunder clap it's a really nice felling and it's so silent.
The colors are really beautiful!
The MoYu RS3M is also a really great cube, magnetic, dual adjustment, all for just about 8-9 USD.
A tip I have
Is if you want to learn a cube like the 4x4 or a skewb use a Qiyi cube to start out
A tip I have is to buy the moyu rs3m 2020 for 9$ and get lube for when it’s starts to turn not that good
If you want the cheapest cube, get the meilong ($4 USD)
If you want a decent cube, get the RS3 M 2020 ($10 USD)
If you want the best cube, get the GAN 11 M Pro ($65) but I don’t recommend getting a GAN cube until you are sub 20 or sub 15 because it won’t make a difference from the RS3 until you are that standard and there will probably be a better GAN cube when you are that standard, so you will be wasting money
I laugh at the start so much because at the intro cus I said to my self ohh sh*t here we go again 🤣🤣🤣
i'm just happy I found a hobby that doesn't cost even a 10th as much as photography or pc gaming costs..
Seasoned cubes here and I would recommend looking for a speed cube based in your country or in a nearby country and then compare prises(including shipping) then, if they have one, join there loyalty programme.
if there is no cap to the money limit, get a really good cube like an 11M pro or a weilong WR M, also buy lube, i would recommend lunar, Martian and dmn-37
What speedcube should you get you ask?
Now you have some good options,
Like, Yuxin Little Magic v2 M(around 9$)
or, the legendary rs3M 2020(similar price), this is the cube that J perm mains at the moment! Awesome, right?The `Budget' cubes came a long qay, right?
Thank you!
