Pretty much any cube is going to be made in China. That's where the manufacturing is. The moyu rs3m 2020 has long been considered a great cube to start out with. If you are in the US you can find it here: https://speedcubeshop.com/products/moyu-rs3-m-2020-3x3-magnetic?variant=31829466546289
I would recommend not dumping a lot of money into a cube at first. The expensive ones aren't necessarily better for everyone.
My cuber friend is telling me to get the WR M because it's magnetic. Is that even worth it? It's $30, I could go over my limit and get it but I don't know if it would be worth it.
The WRM 2021, WRM Maglev or Tornado v3 are great because you can adjust the strength of their magnets.
Any other WR M and most other cubes have really strong magnets and don't have adjustment features at all.
You wouldn't wanna be stuck with a cube that's hard to turn.
Adjustable magnets can have an annoying clicking sound though.
I've heard the RS3M 2020 (that zarxrax recommended) has weak magnets, which is great. They won't click and annoy you and if you wanna try out stronger magnets, you can buy additional magnets and add them in (very easy).
I caved in and got the wrm 2021 and the super rs3 m.
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
