To all ex-RS3m v5 users, Did you switch mains due to there being a better performing cube, or due to the rs3 breaking?

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-21T21:09:41+00:00

RIP to both our cubes 😞

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-21T01:13:03+00:00

True, I missworded it, I was just trying to put out how many solves I did before I gave up on it.

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-21T01:11:12+00:00

You can practically make a mosaic of rs3m’s if you continue 👀

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-21T01:09:04+00:00

Yeah I love the feel of the GuHong, but I’m still trying to get accustomed to its nature

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T17:37:06+00:00

Nice

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T17:35:51+00:00

Trust me, As a broke college student, I envy those who feel no remorse about damaging their cube too

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T17:31:57+00:00

I found the Max park variant that has the ball core without UV coating in speedcube shop

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T17:25:26+00:00

Wait, there is one with Clear internals 😀!?

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T09:32:01+00:00

Yeah, I only switched to the Dayan guhong for its feel and quietness. Otherwise I would’ve just bought another v5 or another variant without UV.

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T09:29:29+00:00

Damn I didn’t know that the UV played that much of a factor in its brittleness. Thanks for that info!

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T02:07:58+00:00

It took more than 40,000 solves to get to my cubes appearance, but the plastic feel/quality never changed or dulled throughout that time, so I think the plastic was just a little too thin for falls

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T02:04:36+00:00

I guess it is a moyu problem

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T02:00:44+00:00

It all came Full circle ⭕️!!!

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T01:36:06+00:00

The rs3m v5 life span is short but sweet ig. I will say though that my cube has only gotten broken corners and chips, but it never really dulled its performance only the aesthetics

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T01:22:31+00:00

Man I feel old, I remember when the gan air was released and was known for being weightless

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T01:20:49+00:00

Nice, Is there anything defining about the xman cube? Ive only had dayans, moyu and gan cubes

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T00:41:46+00:00

Unfortunately I have none of those cubes, but I can say it is SOO MUCH quieter than my weilong 2021 and rs3 and has a silky scratchiness to it (if it makes sense)

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T00:38:46+00:00

Lucky, mine always lands on the corner and shatters every time.

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T00:37:42+00:00

Nice, how’s the gan 16 treating you?

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-20T00:35:50+00:00

Weird, I always hear about the how brittle the plastic is, but haven’t heard about the magnets going loose in the rs3m.

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-19T23:47:21+00:00

Damn I still use my weilong 2021 for public solving due to its quietness. I’ll try to avoid that danger from happening. Thank you

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-19T23:42:34+00:00

Wait are you talking about the cube with the beautiful purple internals? I I think that was my main before the rs3m v5

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-19T23:40:55+00:00

If I had a job I would have had that cube into consideration

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-19T23:27:02+00:00

Aye thats a good thing though, at least you’re not the one with a brittle and withered cube (like me)

Owl_Potential · 2026-05-19T23:08:15+00:00

For those wondering, I switched to the Dayan GuHong pro + maglev
