An affordable magnetic 2x2

The MoYu MFJS MeiLong 2x2 M is the magnetic version of the 2x2 in the MeiLong series, MoFang JiaoShi (MoYu)'s line of accessible puzzles with mid-range behavior. In this specific size, the price-to-turning-feel ratio is one of the reasons the model has become a reference among beginners.

What magnets contribute in a 2x2

On a two-layer cube, cutting is not as demanding as on a 4x4 or 5x5, but magnets still bring two important things: they help faces finish aligned at the end of each turn and offer a "click" feel that makes executing fast algorithms more comfortable. On a 2x2 this translates into fewer turns lost to misalignment and an experience closer to a higher-end cube.

Quick specs

• Dimensions: 50 x 50 x 50 mm.
• Weight: approximately 55 g.
• Finish: stickerless (also available in black subject to stock).
• Series: MeiLong M (MoFang JiaoShi / MoYu).

Recommended profile

This 2x2 fits well for:

• People starting out who want a first magnetic 2x2 without investing in a competition cube.
• Enthusiasts on a tight budget looking for a 2x2 with good flexibility and cutting.
• Gift to pair with a 3x3 and cover the two most popular WCA categories.

How it performs

Turning is smooth for its price range, with good flexibility and reasonable corner cutting. It doesn't compete with high-end 2x2s, but it delivers what one expects for daily practice and working on early solving methods like Ortega or basic CLL.

Usage notes

Like any magnetic cube, it allows tension adjustment. If it feels too soft or too hard at first, it can be regulated with the appropriate tool. And as always, avoid forcing turns when a layer is not aligned, to prevent internal parts breaking.
