Sorry for the late thread. Was on holiday and forgot to check if the scheduled post went up. Will need to check what's happening with the scheduler.

In any case, I was on holiday for a month without a cube. Finally got back home and got a couple new ones since my main broke. I got the MoYu WRM V9 and the RS3M V5. Out of the box I definitely like the V5 better. Just like the reviews say, V9 magnets are very strong and it just feels strange. I think it requires more setup but it might be better if I can get that right. V5 also requires some setup but out of the box it's much more usable.

It's a sad day for Aussie cubers. Daily Puzzles (Australia's largest twisty puzzle retailer) have announced that they're closing down :(.

I recently got a second RS3M 2021, and discovered that my original one was in fact not an RS3M 2021 at all.

Any tips for identifying what I have?

It's MoYu brand, magnetic (but not maglev), very light, with a shiny surface finish.
