Valk 3 Elite M 3x3
Product Description
The Valk 3 Elite M is the long-awaited flagship from the famous Valk line by QiYi MoFangGe. Light and fast with a smooth, comfortable feel, the Valk 3 Elite M is favored by many cubers who enjoy fast turning with a uniform, consistent magnetic feel.
The Valk Elite M comes with clear nuts (standard strength) and clear magnets in the center caps (standard strength).
This cube features a brand new magnetic system with three different levels of strength. The moderate and strong versions feature a "twin-magnetic" scheme and use "center-edge" plus "corner-edge" magnetism for positioning. Additionally, QiYi introduced its own version of an elasticity adjustment system that also conveniently reduces spring noise.
Comes with:
- Valk 3 Elite M
- Cube box
- Two additional spring sets (red = strong; green = weak)
- Two additional center cap sets (red = strong; green = none)
- Cleaning cloth
- Extra logos

Our Promise to You
All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you. Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.
Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop". This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces. This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts which come off can be reassembled by hand.
The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

Customer Reviews
For me, it’s the best cube ever in my collection. Same level as the GAN XS in my opinion. I consider this as my main. I’ve used red center cap and green springs. The best lube to lubericate the pieces is DNM-37, Lubicle Speedy, Cubicle Labs Silk, silicone weight 2-5. Angstrom Celeritas, gravitas, dignitas and Lubicle 1
Core lube is Lubicle black, weight 2-5 and cubicle labs silk
THANKS FOR READING THIS REVIEW
The cube OOTB(Out of the box) is definitely average. The feeling of the cube is fantastic though, retaining some of that original Valk crunch while having a softer, smoother and quieter feel. I do not recommend this cube if you HATE setting up cubes(Like you just solve it ootb with no extra lube) because this cube won't be your main unless you take the time to make it your main(Lubing the core, the pieces, and trying different magnet settings as well as springs)
For my setup, I took apart the cube, cleaned out the subpar factory lube, and started lubing the tracks with Angstrom Gravitas. I lubed the springs with Speedcubeshop Vortex(Sorry Cubicle) and then applied Lubest XMT-10 and Angstrom Dignitas on the pieces, with some Adheron Lite/Cubicle Labs Silk to make it even smoother. For the springs and center cap magnets, I settled on clear springs and red magnets. This results in a super smooth and fast cube while having a stable, controllable feel from the Angstrom lubes. I love this cube, has become my new main already.
Pros:
-Lightweight
-Has a quiet, smooth, yet crunchy feel reminiscent of the original Valk
-Unique feel from the 96 magnets
-Very stable yet fast even out of the box
Cons:
-Takes some setup out of the box
-Sometimes the corner caps pop off a little bit, but you can just reattach them(It's just a bit annoying when it happens)
Peace, Vincent
This cube is nice at first but after a few months it gets worse and worse
i love this cube ..but my orange white piece has a little gap in it and it bugs me lol
This cube is absolutely satisfying to turn and fun to play with! It definitely beats my weilong wrm 2020
I just got this cube , I didn't buy it here though but I would like to say that this cube rocks mine is on factory tensions , clear springs and magnets it feels dry ootb and I instantly lubed it and it feels amazing , it can corner twist easily but that never happens on my solves, just gotta turn more accurate . overall this cube is excellent and I highly recommend it to you who are sub 15 .
If your turning style is anything short of very light and perfect then this isn’t the cube for you. The most unforgiving cube I’ve ever tried. The magnetic valk 3 is a much better choice and far cheaper.
The cube was not what I was expecting but it is still great. I recommend it
I have to turn more accurately to get better times because I usually use the RS3 M 2020 and it’s faster but I also get more mistakes because the cube is flimsier, and there isn’t a cube that is super stable and has great corner cutting, so it’s just a trade-off you would have to make. Now the Valk Elite is really good, and to me it feels like an upgrade over the valk, it’s faster and has better corner cutting. So it definitely has its place on the market.
The cube is the best Valk 3x3. The Valk 3 is way too loud and crunchy, while the Valk Power is obviously very slow and sluggish. The Valk Elite is perfect for me, because my previous main, the TengYun V2, has a stability issue. I would only recommend the Valk Elite on two different center cap settings, the clear and the strong. The green center caps just defeat the purpose of the extra magnets, making the cube not stable.
