The MoYu MeiLong 2x2 M is the magnetic version of the 2x2 in the MeiLong series, the entry-level range that MoYu sells under its sub-brand MFJS (MoFang JiaoShi, “cube classroom”). It came out in 2020 and measures 50 mm, weighing around 54 g. This presentation includes the same cube in a clear box instead of the cardboard one. It’s stickerless: there are no stickers, the colour is in the plastic.

Mechanism

The “M” in the name indicates that it comes with factory-fitted magnets. The magnets help each layer settle into alignment at the end of a turn; on a 2x2, where almost everything is short, fast turns, that means fewer lock-ups. Its magnetic feel is described as medium or light, and the tension (how tightly the layers are held together) can be adjusted. It’s best not to leave it too loose, as a piece could pop out; and, as with all 2x2s, don’t force a corner to twist on itself.

What level is it for?

It suits anyone looking for their first magnetic 2x2, those who already solve the 3x3 and want to branch out into other sizes, and it works as a cube for daily practice. It doesn’t compete with high-end 2x2s, but it’s a comfortable base for learning 2x2 methods and starting to time your solves.

Presentation

The clear box lets you see the cube without opening it, which is handy for gifting or for keeping it on display on a shelf. The cube is the same as in the standard presentation.
