The Yuxin Little Magic 2x2 is in my opinion the best budget 2x2. This cube is perfect for beginner and possibly intermediate cubers. With excellent cornercutting, this cube is very fast, perfect for algorithms.

My first 2x2x2 cube and it feels great. Flipping the corners is easy when I got it out of the box, but after using a screwdriver I made it also impossible to flip them. Assembling the cube after disassembling feels kinda impossible, but with patience it gets pretty easy. Would really recommend to someone who wants to get into cube solving. 10/10
