Getting a single bar shouldn’t be too taxing, but it can be difficult for novices. If you’re having trouble, try using Wolstenholme notation to help memorize sequences of moves.

Dual Adjustment System

The cube features a dual adjustment system for both compression and tension as well as independent adjustments for the magnet strength. This makes it one of the most adjustable cubes available and allows you to tune it to your liking. This is a premium cube that feels great and performs excellently.

A lot of the current generation of speed cubes feature some form of spring adjustment system. This is where the screw head of the center piece is adjusted to change the distance that the spring moves upwards, which affects the force and stability of the cube.

MoYu was first to adopt this idea and they named their version the dual adjustment system, which is now available on their flagship Weilong GTS model. The dual adjustment system allows you to adjust the elasticity of each of the four elastic nuts on the Weilong GTS, and each nut has two different distance slots so you can tune for your own preference.

Stylish Design

There are many different speed cubes available on the market, but one of our favorites is the D-FantiX 3×3 Pyramid Speed Cube. This cube is made of recycled, non-toxic ABS plastic and is pre-lubricated and tensioned for smoother turns. It also ditches stickers and uses frosted surfaces instead, which are easier to see and should last longer than stickers.

When you’re learning to solve the cube, it’s important to remember the notation system for the colors. A letter followed by a prime sign (‘ ’) indicates an anticlockwise face turn, while a letter without a prime sign means a clockwise turn.

The Magic cube has inspired an entire category of twisty puzzles, including the tetrahedron (Pyraminx), octahedron (Skewb Diamond), and dodecahedron (Megaminx). Besides these geometric shapes, there are many other variations that can be made with the same basic mechanism, such as foldable infinity puzzles or magnetic cubes. These variations are great options for anyone interested in trying a new twisty challenge.

Easy to Assemble

There are approximately 519 quintillion[53] possible arrangements of the cube’s corner and edge pieces. However, only one in twelve of these are solvable without dismantling and reassembling the cube. This is because any swap or rotation of a single pair of pieces can result in an unsolvable arrangement. To make the process of assembling the cube easier, there are a number of different algorithms that can be used. These include the Jessica Friedrich technique, which breaks the cube assembly into four stages and has a solution speed of up to 1 minute.

The first step is to check that all of the corner pieces are in their correct positions. Once this is done, you can proceed to the second stage of arranging the edge pieces. To do this, rotate the top layer until the YELLOW side is facing you. Then, match the edge pieces to their corresponding centers. Once this is done, the edges will be correctly positioned on the main sides of the cube.

Excellent Performance

If you want a cube that gives you excellent performance at an affordable price, then this is the one for you. It has a smooth turning feel and is fast enough to be used as a budget speedcube for beginners and advanced cubers alike.

It comes in both stickerless and stickered form, which makes it suitable for any cuber. It features the Numeric GES+ which makes it easy and accurate to tune just by hand. It also has three major crafts which add to its excellent performance.

Cubes that are optimized for speed have lesser friction between layers, which means there is minimal resistance when you turn them. This allows you to execute ultra fast algorithms. However, this also means that you won’t have as much control over them.

The MoYu RS3M with Maglev is the first factory cube to feature this new technology, and it has been a huge hit in 2022. It is also super smooth and has little spring noise.
