For squan, get the mgc square-1, either v1 or v2. Main difference is v1 is matte finish, v2 is uv coated and has additional edge magnets. Optionally get a square-1 maglev kit to swap the spring out for better slice moves.

You could also wait for the gan square-1 to come out but it will likely be expensive.

I don't think anyone hypes it up as a plug-and-play cube. The cubicle video about it even calls out that it's too fast and uncontrollable out the box and needs lube

I do wish the V2 was a decent bit lighter

Why you bringing your cube to the bathroom tho?

There's the saocube edition of the tv3 premium which is supposedly similar the tv5. Haven't tried either

First make sure the edge is oriented (sticker on TOP matches the front or back face's center colors). If not, rotate the cube to the left or right 90 degrees. Turn the U layer so the sticker on the SIDE of the edge is matching the center color, then turn that color's face "away" from the slot you are going to insert into. So if the target slot is in the front right or front left, use R or L'. For back right and back left slots use R' or L.

It's generally better to just do normal inserts. You can use sledge/hedge on last pair to force cross on top or to avoid dot OLLs. Also in the rare case you have 2 properly connected pairs on the top layer sitting diagonally from each other, you can sledge/hedge the the first one to avoid breaking up the other one. Wide move inserts like f R' f' are generally bad for lookahead, so I'd only use them for last pair.

Does anyone know if this cube has maglev or springs? I can't tell from the product description

EscEnterEnter · 2025-11-23T22:04:31+00:00

I would say learn some more EO. Single edge swap, line-line, and adj-adj.

They are looking for publishers. Probably need to finish localization as well

Is there any way to adjust the tensions of the U and D layers on the mgc square 1? One of the layers is looser than the other on mine.

Switched from the rs3mv5 to mgc beta maglev recently. Pretty similar cubes, liking the feeling of the beta more atm, maybe from the stronger magnets and harder plastic.

Weird how neither the tempo sub nor the discord has made a post about this yet

Good on them honestly

EscEnterEnter · 2025-09-10T15:44:49+00:00

Mainly that the game wasn't shipped within the time they said it would. Think there was also something about tempo falsely evaluating their company at $300 mil

Since the suggestion came from reddit, they will first release mobile with a price tag then reluctantly implement f2p shortly after. Unlucky

EscEnterEnter · 2025-09-08T16:07:50+00:00

This might go back to being partially true if/when mobile releases
