Buy weird Rubik's cubes, shape mods, mirror cubes and Clock

This category is for weird Rubik's cubes: the ones that change shape when you turn them, the ones solved by piece size instead of colour, gear cubes, clocks (Rubik's Clock) and big cubes from 8x8 upwards. It is where you will find the different shaped Rubik's cubes many people search for when they want something beyond the classic cube. Everything shown as available is in our Madrid warehouse.

A shape mod is a cube whose outside shape has been changed without touching the mechanism: inside it is still a 3x3 or a 2x2, but when scrambled it loses its cube look. We stock QiYi, MoYu (with its MFJS MeiLong line), ShengShou, which also sells as SengSo, Ziina and Cyclone Boys.

Which unusual cube to buy for what you want

Your first different cube

The QiYi Ivy Cube has few pieces, turns around the corners like a Skewb and can be solved almost intuitively. It also comes in a carbon version and as the metallic SengSo Evil Eyes. The MoYu Polaris is also based on the Skewb, with corners that rotate on themselves.

You can already solve the 3x3

3x3 shape mods are solved with what you already know, but they make you look at the cube differently. The MoYu Pandora Cube, the Mastermorphix (a pyramid-shaped 3x3), the Windmill and the QiYi Void, a 3x3 with no centres and 48 magnets.

A challenge with its own logic

Gear cubes and the Clock are not solved with 3x3 methods: you have to learn them from scratch. To start, the QiYi 2x2 Gear Cube. For a competition Clock, the ShengShou Clock M or the magnetic QiYi Clock, which you will find below.

Fidget and pocket

To keep in your hand without thinking about solving: the foldable QiYi Infinity Cube, the QiYi O2 1x1, which also spins like a spinner, the 60-block Magic Snake and the Ziina 1x1x2 and 1x1x3 mini mirrors.

Clock: the ShengShou, SengSo and QiYi clock puzzles

The Clock does not turn like a cube. It has nine clock dials on each face (18 in total), four pins you press and four wheels at the corners. Depending on which pins are up or down, each wheel moves different dials, and the goal is to get them all pointing to twelve on both faces. Magnetic models have magnets that mark each position and stop the hands being left halfway.

A note if you are buying it for competition: in June 2026 the WCA announced that Clock will no longer be an official event. It will continue to be held until the 2027 World Championship, which will be the last official competition with Clock. For playing at home nothing changes.

Mirror cubes: solved by shape, not by colour

A mirror cube (also called Mirror Blocks) has all its pieces in the same colour, usually gold or silver, and each piece with a different thickness. When scrambled it turns into a misshapen figure and solving it means restoring the cube shape. The mechanism is a 3x3, so if you can solve the 3x3 you can solve the mirror cube: the hard part is recognising the pieces without colour.

In 3x3 there is the ShengShou Mirror Metallic Gold (56 mm, no magnets), the Cyclone Boys Metallic magnetic, the MoYu MFJS Mirror V2 magnetic in blue, the black QiYi Tiled Mirror and the glow-in-the-dark QiYi Mirror Blocks. The Ziina Gray Mirror Illusion plays with an optical effect. To go up or down a size, the SengSo 4x4 Mirror and the ShengShou Mirror 2x2. And beyond the cube, the SengSo Mirror Q-Platypus and the DianSheng Mirror Skewb puzzles, which are in Skewb.

Gear cubes

In a gear cube the pieces are visible gear wheels and one turn drags several layers along at once. On the classic Gear Cube the outer faces only make half turns, and each half turn moves the middle layer a quarter, so 3x3 algorithms do not work. QiYi has the most complete family: the Gear Barrel (cylinder) and the Gear Sphere use that same mechanism; the Crazy Gear Cube has a different mechanism, with two inner gears. In 2x2 versions there are the 2x2 Gear Cube and the 2x2 Gear Ball, and in Pyraminx you have the QiYi Gear Pyraminx.

Big cubes: 8x8, 9x9 and 10x10

The WCA only has official events up to 7x7, so larger cubes are for collecting and solving at your own pace. They are solved by reduction, like a 4x4 or a 5x5, but with many more pieces. MoYu makes them in its MeiLong series: the MoYu MeiLong 8x8 V3 and MeiLong 9x9 V3 are 65.5 mm and have no magnets; the MeiLong 10x10 V2 magnetic with ball core is 69.5 mm and has 256 magnets. If you are looking for competition sizes, see 7x7 cubes and 6x6.

Did you get here looking for the MoYu AoSu V7 or the GAN 16 MagLev MAX? They are standard 4x4 and 3x3 speed cubes: the AoSu V7 Dual-Track with 112 magnets, the AoSu V7 Single-Track with 96 magnets and the rest of the models are in 4x4 cubes and 3x3 cubes.

Weird cube and shape mod brands

QiYi

The widest range in this category: gear cubes, Ivy, Void, magnetic Clock and fidgets. Many of its models use plastic tiles instead of stickers.

MoYu and MFJS

3x3 shape mods (Pandora, Mastermorphix, Windmill, Polaris), the magnetic mirror V2 and the MeiLong big cubes from 8x8 to 10x10.

ShengShou and SengSo

The clock brand: classic Clock, Clock 5x5 and Pentagram. Also 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 mirror cubes and the Mirror Q-Platypus.

Ziina and Cyclone Boys

Ziina makes small and optical-effect mirror cubes; Cyclone Boys, a metallic magnetic 3x3 mirror cube.

QiYi's transparent Kongming locks (Nine Links, Sealed Lock, Heart to Heart, Big Pineapple or Leaf Lock) do not turn: they are interlocking pieces that you have to take apart and put back together. If you like that kind of challenge, also see brain teaser puzzles.

For gifts and for learning

They make good gifts because hardly anyone has one: a mirror cube for someone who can already solve the 3x3, an Ivy or a fidget for someone who has never touched a cube. You will find more ideas in which Rubik's cube to give as a gift, in the gift guide and in brain teaser gifts. To see how each puzzle fits into the Rubik's cube family, read types of Rubik's cubes; if you cannot solve the 3x3 yet, which is the basis of almost all shape mods, start with how to solve a Rubik's cube step by step.

Weird cubes FAQ

Are they harder than a 3x3?

It depends. The Ivy Cube is much easier. Mirror cubes, the Pandora, the Mastermorphix and the Windmill are a 3x3 with a different shape: if you can solve the 3x3, you only need to get used to recognising the pieces. Gear cubes and the Clock have their own logic and are learned from scratch.

How do you solve a mirror cube?

Like a 3x3, but going by the thickness of the pieces instead of the colour. Start with a face that ends up flat and follow the same layer-by-layer method you would use on a normal cube.

Is Clock still an official WCA event?

Yes, but not for long: the WCA announced in June 2026 that it is being removed, and the 2027 World Championship will be the last official competition with Clock. The FTO (face-turning octahedron) comes in to replace it from 2 January 2027.

Which Clock should I buy?

To learn or compete, a classic format with nine clocks per face: the ShengShou Clock M or the magnetic QiYi Clock. The Clock 5x5 and the Pentagram are for when the classic one is no longer enough.

What exactly is a Void cube?

A 3x3 with no centre pieces: it has a hole running right through it. It is solved like a 3x3, although a parity case can appear that does not exist on the normal cube.

Can they be used in competition?

Mirror cubes, gear cubes, shape mods and big cubes larger than 7x7 are not official WCA events. Skewb, Pyraminx, Megaminx and Square-1 are, and they have their own category.

Do you have an FTO?

Right now we have the SengSo 2x2 FTO, the two-layer version of the octahedron. It is a good way to get to know the puzzle before moving on to the full FTO.
