This video is very well written. Nice and short, but as always, a pleasure to watch :)

Thanks!!!!

[@legolucasolves]

100% true, I have expensive gans and moyu cubes and somehow this $16 cube was better…

[@cubinb]

I felt so silly for all the $30/40 flagships I bought prior to the Guhong Pro.

[@thomb.9013]

I remember I got the 54mm guhong, which is smaller than I like I like 55 or 56 more, I bought it for oh... and then I started using it as my main before even setting it up over my set up TV3. So good.

[@K4Cubing]

You mentioned the slice capability and I know a cube that does it very well. I'd recommend you try out the MoYu GTS3 M, if you haven't already. Yes this cube is old, but in my opinion, it's held up and is still even on the same level as some newer cubes like the Tornado V3. The ridged pieces on the GTS3 allow for easier grip for for reversed ring-finger tricks like D moves and M moves. It's my 3BLD main for the same reasons I'd expect a Roux solver to like it. Definitely try it out if you haven't already (Yes, I will FOREVER Promote this cube because I love it so much lol).

[@CubingWithAlex]

I have been interested in buying a gts3m, I'll look into it more :)

[@ioannis4441]

Is the 30£ version of the v10 good?

[@CubingWithAlex]

I’ve heard good things about it, but I don’t yet have it myself

[@cubinb]

I spent over $300 on 3x3s last year and my 56mm Guhong Pro Maglev (in my humble opinion) beats everything but my Tornado V3 Pioneer. And it was about a third of the price!!!

[@hamerray]

I got the 55mm ball core, I like it better than the WRM V9.

[@HydrousVerified]

Really?! Like I thought guhong was better than V3 as everyone says but okay ... Im gonna t probably go for v3 flagship now.

[@CubingWithAlex]

I understand why some people like the gushing more, but I personally prefer the tv3

[@Rizz-n1t]

I'm new to cubing and I've heard a lot of good reviews about the rs3m 2020 being the best budget cube. So would you say this is better than the rsm 2020? Should I get this instead?

[@CubingWithAlex]

Sorry about the super late reply! I like the guhong more.

[@Artic-fc]

hey Cubing with Alex, I guess few people have already said their v10 broke within few days of the cube release, so which cube do you suggest in that budget,as v3 have also broke and even dayan guhong, I am really confused on choosing the best cube

[@CubingWithAlex]

If you want something similar to the v10 the rs3m v5 is a great option!

[@SpeedyFast18]

Is it good for people with an avg of about 30 secs? Or Rs3m v5 better?

[@cubinb]

I love the V5, but the Guhong is quiet and smoother, is just as (if not more) controllable and just as fast.

[@CubingWithAlex]

The v5 is a great cube and I think more people will like it more than the guhong, but I love cubes with unique and satisfying feels, so I prefer the guhong.

[@pixelpie986]

@@cubinbwhich version maglev or spring

[@cubinb]

@@pixelpie986 I went maglev 56mm but I'm definitely gonna pick up a spring 55mm at some point.

[@Uvin356]

Hey I saw that you are practicing roux so I think that the Wrm 2021 maglev is also a good cube for roux since it makes slice moves and basically any hard finger tricks easy to do.

[@DcubesOfficial]

this cube is great, but i don’t like the 54 version, so i want to get a bigger version as it is too small for me. Great video, as always!

[@solver5k]

I really enjoy the 54mm for one-handed (even though I'm really slow at OH)!

@@CubingWithAlex nice! i just use the desktop capcut (paid version)

[@FriskyPotat0]

Imma be honest, I love the feel of the GuHong Pro, it's super satisfying, but in my opinion it's quite inferior as a budget cube compared to the rs3m v5 (stansard). Even having a ball core, the GuHong Pro has always just felt super cheap, and whilst it's M slices are to die for, it feels quite janky and locky with most of my algs. Just feels as cheap as it is, whilst rs3m v5 feels semi-premium with slightly more solid plastic

[@CubingWithAlex]

Yea I can see why you like the rs3m v5 more, but personally I'm just a bigger fan of the guhong pro :)

[@rizzwan-42069]

What's a truly premium performance based cube?

[@FriskyPotat0]

@@rizzwan-42069 Well if I were to mention one it’s the GAN12(UV). It truly feels the most premium to me plastic wise, and it performs incredibly well both with slower and faster turning. Something unique to the GAN12 is that you can feel the piece to piece contact even with a full lube setup and the cube being broken in. Personally I love this, because it’s not a distracting amount, but it is just enough tactility and feedback so that when you’re turning really fast (say in PLL) you still feel each turn. In my experience, it’s the only cube that gives that much feedback at those faster speeds, and this leads me to what could be considered the one downside, which is that it can lock up somewhat harshly BUT I lock up way less on it compared to a silkier/smoother cube like the wrm v9 or ys3m because it’s tactility tends to encourage and assist more accurate turning. It’s a 56mm puzzle though, so if you’ve smaller hands, I would recommend the Ys3m UV BC if you want something very controllable, fast and still premium feeling, wrm v9 20 mag BC if you want a bubbly, smooth and forgiving cube with comfortable magnet strength (og wrm v9 has ridiculously strong magnets). tv3 standard (I think is 56mm) if you want a premium feeling cube that’s a bit blocky but nicely controllable (I would recommend this if you really like how springs feel over maglev). I want to recommend the wrm v10 but mine hasn’t arrived yet, so I’ll get back to you. Going off other reviews though, it’s a blend of aspects from the GAN12, wrm v9 and rs3m v5, so could well be the best premium cube out there (ignoring the stupidly priced super weilong). The v10 is 55.5mm, so a nice middle ground. Again, to me the gan12 is certainly the most “premium” feeling cube; I find particularly when comparing it to moyu cubes, it just feels more thought out engineering wise and mechanically satisfying at high tps

[@FriskyPotat0]

Still this is all personal preference, and a lot of people still love the tv3 over gan cubes which may be due to it’s muted, somewhat softer feel compared to Gan’s sharpish tactility. That being said, I really still think the plastic feel of the gan12 (alongwith the UV version being good; tv3’s UV version is maglev only and tv3 maglev is almost universally disliked) and it’s build quality are just properly premium, if premium is what you’re specifically going for

[@rizzwan-42069]

@@FriskyPotat0 I'm mostly looking for performance and a cube who won't get damaged within a few days. Like I'm buying one let's get the best one doesn't have to be the most expensive.

[@michaelbenjamin504]

You're doing viewers a disservice by recommending the spring version just because it's cheaper. A good cube is a good cube. You can get maglev and uv coated for $20. Your griping over $3. I hate when reviewers put down a better cube that people would enjoy just because of the price. You get what you pay for. It's a better cube. Just invest in your hobby.

[@americancow598]

Ikr its soooooo annoying

Can you review qiyi m pro ballcore uv 🙏

[@dabmachine1]

2 vids in 5 days is crazy i like the RS3V5 because it also has uv coating and maglev and core magnets for only $25 and preforms well btw when do you think your roux times will catch up to your cfop times? I hope you will get faster with roux someday

[@CubingWithAlex]

The RS3V5 is a great cube :) I'm not exactly sure when my roux times will catch up (hopefully soon lol). Right now I'm focused on getting down to sub-15 again which I'm pretty close to :D
