This is exactly what I have been looking for. The smaller size feels perfect for me and there is a great balance between stability and flexibility. This will be an instant main for many people and will set the new standard for what other cubes are compared to.

This is a really Good Cube for any Advance/Intermediate cuber, This cube is very stable and yet very fast and it cornercuts almost at any angle. Just I had to adjust my style coming from a 57mm to a 56mm cube and after a 1500+ solves It just glides and I also got 4-5 PLL Skips too :D

This is my review of the Valk M (mine is from SpeedCubeShop).
The cube is controllable and fast. The Valk on its own is one of the best cubes ever produced. The magnets are not that noticeable when turning fast, but when turning slow, give that nice click at the end to align the cube.
My only problem is that mine locks up some, but not that often.
The Valk M is one of the best cubes on the market. I would recommend it to anyone.

It's a great cube to add magnets to. You should definitely get this cube if you are looking to upgrade your main but can't decide on which cube to get. You can make it feel however you want really. It is June 26th of 2017 at the time of this review being written and it still has a Limited Edition, and it comes in black, white, and stickerless. You should buy this cube, and if you can, go for a Cubicle Labs Valk M, a Cosmic Valk M, or get some N35 4x2s yourself and magnetize it. I hope this helped!

I think that this cube is amazing. The speed of it is really great for me, and even when you over shoot, the amazing corner cutting will prevent any lockups from happening. Corning twisting and popping are not a problem, at least at my tensions, because I haven't had one yet with my time with this cube. I highly suggest this cube to anyone who's budget fits into it, but you may want to use some gummy lube if the cube is too fast for you.

The Valk 3 has been on the market for a long time. It is widely considered as "The best 3x3 on the market" and it is used as a main for pros and beginners alike. It features squared off corners, excellent corner cutting, and has a satisfying hollow feel. It can be adjusted with lube and tensioning to fit all turning styles and handfeels. Overall, this is one of the best 3x3s on the market, but it is slowly getting taken over by many other newer cubes, such as the Weilong GTS v2 and the Yan3 M.

Very great 3x3, but a bit pricey. If you buy one, it will last a very long time, just make sure you DO NOT try to take out pieces forcefully (fully loosen the cube beforehand). Amazing 3x3 overall ,if you like faster types of cubes.

It is a very good 3x3. It starts out as fast and has a very distinguishable feeling, somewhat similar to the Meiying and Yuexiao, which are airy and also has the smoothness of a thunderclap. Being a 55.55mm cube it is ideal for one handed and two-handed as well. Corner cutting is very exceptional but not the best. It has a tendency to lock depending upon your turning style, but is easily controllable and does not overshoot on lots of lube and high speed. Corner twists are non-existent and popping is not an issue. The stickerless version has nice shades and contrast well. Overall, it is a very good cube.

The Valk 3 is a fantastic cube used by a wide range of speedcubers. It can be adjusted to suit many turning styles, which makes it perfect for anyone. Corner cutting (with my tentions) is just beneath 60 degress, and popping is extremely rare, except for the centre caps, which I have found to pop out one in every 15 solves. The shades of the stickers are amazing, more to the dark side in the blue and red side, but the actual quality of them is terrible and the stickers will need to be replaced after a few weeks. Overall, his cube is spectacular and I would reccomend it to anyone with a large budget and willing to spend over $20 on a speedcube!

This is an excellent cube. Right out of the box the cube wasn't that great, it was just locking a lot. But after doing a couple of solves it became very good. Now locking isn't a huge problem for me because I am an accurate turner. But then also in a solve I might get 1 or 2 lock ups.
Though I do't think the cube need any type of lube. As I like a little tight cubes I tightened the screw 3 times clock-wise. And its a perfect cube for me.
