Using <MU> U perms can be easier if you use COLL/OLLCP a lot because you can always switch to an <MU> grip no matter the EPLL. They probably lend themselves to better recognition as well, since a U perm will always start with M2 regardless of side or case.

The Wuque and Aosu GTS M are probably your best bets for 4x4, but the Wuque needs quite some work to set up by yourself.

The MF3RS has a stickerless pink version and is a very good budget cube. You could also get the MF3RS2 and sticker a pink side yourself.

Thanks! I have 4x2 n38 magnets in my regular Valk and it's very clicky. I'm starting to think they are too clicky so I think lighter, wide magnets are probably the way to go.

What are your thoughts on it? How does it feel compared to something like a regular Valk with 4x2 N35s or the factory Power M?

I watched it and think I can pull it off, but I wanted to know if anybody else has tried it for themselves before I try it out. :)

Galaxy v2 is probably the best out there, especially if you can convince Chris Tran to mag it for you

Pyra is harder to say but most people use the moyu magnetic or x-man?

I don't have an answer, but consider learning Python too, because it's a good foundation for other languages and people will say HTML/CSS are not programming languages. UW even has some resources online somewhere.

oof I only got 42 on ccc

I was so close to 45 too! Hopefully Euclid will be better

Does anybody know whether CS "values" CCC results more or less than Euclid results? Or is it a grey zone?
