Buying Your First Speed Cube? This Is What You NEED To Know.

[@Tingman]

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.

[@Anarchydr]

Thanks Tingman! This helped me! Stay healthy and safe!

Tingman OMG THANKS FOR LIKING MAH COMMENT :)

[@el3na.]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@CubeHead]

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 🤔)

[@elbee2324]

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.

[@blackwatercat4263]

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.

[@All_Will_Be_Crab]

Just ordered a second one because it's so good. I would recommend a magnet upgrade though

[@not_smart_and_not_a_toy]

I bought one from sCs (speedcubershop) like betwen 14 and 19 days ago and im still waiting cuz they didnt have it in stock

[@benjamindover3214]

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.

[@JustsomeCowBoyin]

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.

[@StillOnTrack]

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.

[@cubed3018]

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!

[@edwardrust3197]

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!

[@Tingman]

Haha thanks. This was definitely not 2x2 Tingman!

[@acsu96]

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

[@miyukishirogane426]

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

[@willowwillow7112]

Thanks for the advice. I was so impressed I immediately followed the link and used your code for a cube and a pyramid.

[@Tingman]

Thank you so much!

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

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.

[@tutin9930]

I think it's kinda funny that someone disliked the video before it came out

[@theq-bingcubing3182]

[@crushercuber1452]

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

[@vortex9444]

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

[@mdoe8]

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.

[@marcustheodoredingledoo]

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

[@CraterCuber]

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.

[@ThatChester]

Too lazy to use my fingers. Can I use a drill instead?

[@CraterCuber]

@@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.

[@CraterCuber]

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.

[@CLbro1]

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

[@simkimough]

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.

[@mommailim9616]

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

[@mikeysaurlol]

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

[@5A81L]

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.

[@jorgesisalima641]

The qiyi ms is SOOOOO awesome so I would recommend that one

[@nohaerrr]

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!

[@SkinnyMinter]

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

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

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

[@rayan-ex7ql]

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!

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

[@horrorfan6669]

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

[@abhisoni1669]

I reccomend the X Man Tornado V2M, its smooth, and cheap. In my country you can buy it for about $15

[@IQCubers]

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

[@gdlimiez6064]

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.

Also, just buy an RS3M 2020. I don't think it came out when tingman made this video, but currently it is easily the best cube for its price. it is just $9 and can compete with flagship cubes that cost $60. You could also spend $5 more and get the maglev version which I got

[@tmcdojo9768]

Watch a bunch of reviews of cubes Also think on what your turning style would be so you can pick the correct cube

[@miyukishirogane426]

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
