The Best Speed Cubes at Every Price

My favorite speed cubes under $10, from $10 to $25, from $25 to $50, and the top cubes over $50.

SpeedCubeShop is my partner. When you buy with my links, I earn a little money. You also save 5%, because my links add my code JCUBE for you. Prices and stock change, so check the price before you buy.

Here are my picks at every price. Just find your budget and pick one.

One thing first: a pricey cube will not make you fast. A $9 cube can take you really far. You pay more for how the cube feels, not for speed.

Under $10

Still using a store cube? Any of these will feel way better.

MoYu RS3M V5

This is the sweet spot. You get a lot of cube for the money.

DaYan GuHong Pro+

It has MagLev and core magnets, and it comes in 3 sizes: 54, 55 or 56 mm. Great if you have small hands.

GAN V100

GAN V100

about $30 to $35

Light, a little small at 55 mm, and very popular. The Leap version is about $30. The MagLev version is about $35. One honest note: some owners say a corner can catch now and then.

X-Man Tornado V4

It has a ball core, so it feels steady.

$50 and up

These are the top cubes from each brand. They feel amazing. But they will not make you seconds faster. Your hands do that. Buy one if you love cubes and want the best feel.

Brand new: the GAN 17 MagDrive (about $85). It just came out, so there are only a few reviews so far.
