I’m starting out with a cheap Mo Fang Ge brand cube but it’s pretty stiff for my taste. I saw some videos about speedcubes and how you can adjust them and all that, thought it was neat. What are some good cubes out there? I would want to avoid any Chinese brand cubes if possible because cheap and Chinese probably means their workers aren’t fairly compensated.
Edit: after much research, I don’t think a non-chinese brand cube will be possible. So I guess recommend me whatever the best options are. From the $10-20 range would be a good price for me.
The cheaper one I linked above is also magnetic. I would recommend a magnetic cube, because they do feel a bit better than one without magnets, and help keep the pieces aligned.
Some cubes may be classified as “maglev”. These additionally replace the springs that are in a standard cube with even more magnets. I have not tried one of these, and have heard mixed opinions on them.
