The Best Budget 5x5

Budget 5x5 comparison. These were surprisingly good after trying budget 4x4s a few months ago.

My recommendation:

THANKS SO MUCH WE GOT 50K SUBS! Giveaway is likely going to happen but I don't have it ready yet.

Last year when I did this with 3x3s and 4x4s I only gave my first impressions, but this time i made sure to do some solves with them all before giving my thoughts. Setting them all up would take forever, so I skipped that part.

Also a video about 5x5 beginner tips is coming soon! :)

The Length of the video is 5:55. Was this intentional?

Finally someone who actually pronounces the names in Chinese.
When I first got into cubing I thought it would be weird if I pronounced a cube name in Chinese, because I only knew how to pronounce it in Chinese so I thought if I pronounced ShengShou like "Shung-show" instead of "Sheing-shao", it would be weird.

YuXin is the master of the budget cubes

Edit: bros please I know other ppl have taken over

The mofang jiaoshi pronouncing was so pleasing

“The Yuxin Cloud feels like a Yuxin 5x5”

There are two types of people:

1.) Shengshao
2.)Shengshooo

Wow I can't explain how happy I am that I bought the Yuxin Cloud as my 5x5 just a few weeks ago. I managed to pickup the best option for my price range!

[bencangemi]

I've got a Yuxin Cloud, and I've got to say I really like it.

0:01 is it just me or is that the mario intro

I bought the Yuxin Cloud and then got the Qizheng S as surprise gift from my friend. 150 solves with Yuxin Cloud as my main and one day I got my first sub 3 minutes with the Qizheng S

I am a beginner on 5x5 and started with Qiyi QiZheng S, this cube is amazing compared to my original Rubik’s 5x5, my PB is about 2:40.xx after 4 days of practice, I haven’t learned a lot of algs for last 2 centers or practiced making faster edges (and I’m not planning to do) because I haven’t got enough time for it.

Yay! I have a shengshou and wanted to upgrade without spending the money. Most of the 5x5 comparison videos were kinda old, . so this one was pretty awesome

[FreezJ]

Jperm made a video that is 5:56 in length consisting 5x5 and they are budget 5x5s and it was made 5 years ago and the budget 5x5s are the best budget 5x5s on the market 5 years ago and as of writing this it is 55 degrees outside for me

I have the mf5. Very pleased ^•^ with my purchase

For me the MF5S is by far the most stable budget 5x5 I tried and 3rd/4th most stable 5x5 I ever used. The plastic felt extremely hard and solid and the mechanism was very reinforced. When my MF5S was at it's prime it t felt like a YuXin 5x5-HuaChuang hybrid, except that it corner cut slightly better than those 2 but was slightly slower. I used to love the cube a lot and it was my main once before. I would actually recommend this one, but its more for people who can set it up.
YuXin Cloud gives me very good first impressions and my PB single is actually set on a magnetic Cloud. But after a while I found that it was too flexy and it got deforming lockups a lot. At first I felt that it was better than the main YuXin 5x5, but after a while the expectations did not hold up.
QiZheng feels a bit like a budget WuShuang, but I haven't tried it much, and can't really say much.
For the Shengshou Mini, it doesn't even feel like a speed cube, more like a hard durable cube for modding.
For the rest, I never tried them before.
0:44 In my opinion, 62 isn't really a standard 5x5. Mini 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 is 55, 60, 62 and standard is 56, 62, 63/64. It seems that there is objectively 2 size options for each of these events, and they are about 1-2mm apart. Have always found it weird that WuShuang and WuQue are both 62, and traditionally 5x5 was a bit bigger than 4x4 like ShengShou, YuXin and BoChuang.

So, thanks to that video i bought a yuxin 5x5, and just recently I took the time to magnetize it. This cube is just amazing and with magnets it feels like a top quality cube. I don't have much to compare it (only a v cube 5 lol), but it feels 10 times better than my moyu aosu 4x4 (that i also magnetized).

With magnets the cube is much more stable (of course), 3x3 stage is just amazing, really smooth like butter. I can now use M slice which is great for some ppls. And magnets also helps with the edge steps.

Anyone who's hesitating to magnetize it, just go for it. It is worth it for sure.

Just FYI, i used 96 n35 4x2 magnets for the whole cube.

I was actually considering what budget 5x5 I should buy, so that REALLY helped me out.
Thanks J PERM ^^
