>>7829753You heard right.
Basically any chinese cube for $5 or less is better than rubik's brand anything ever.
If you want classic look I recommend QiYi Sail cube, if you want colored plastic look I recommend Warrior W.
Don't let super low price fool you, they are excellent toys, sturdy and a pleasure to handle.
Buying slightly more expensive or prettied up cubes like jelly version or yulong/aolong/whateverthefucklongdong is also not bad way to start cubing, as they all are fast, fun and don't stuck all the time like rubik's ones.
It's one of those rare cases when chink product is better than western one.
