Cube Purchase Advice (lemm.ee)

I'm starting out with a cheap Mo Fang Ge brand cube but it's pretty stiff for my taste. I saw some videos about speedcubes and how you can adjust them and all that, thought it was neat. What are some good cubes out there? I would want to avoid any Chinese brand cubes if possible because cheap and Chinese probably means their workers aren't fairly compensated.

Edit: after much research, I don't think a non-chinese brand cube will be possible. So I guess recommend me whatever the best options are. From the $10-20 range would be a good price for me.

Good purchases imo. The WRM 21 is my main!

They're also both very different cubes: The WRM is fairly flexible and the Super RS3M (v1) is quite blocky (It also has weak magnets). Dunno about the other Super RS3Ms (v2, v5).

Note that the Super v1 is very different from the RS3M 2020. I've never tried one, but from what I've heard the 2020 should be somewhere in between the 2.

I think I should've gotten the rs3m v5 after looking back at some reviews, however, the super rs3 m probably isn't bad by any means
