The MFJS MeiLong 3C is one of the most affordable options in MoYu's catalogue for the classic 3x3. The "C" refers to a specific revision within the MeiLong line, designed to offer a robust mechanism at a very contained price. It's a cube that works well both for starting out and as a spare.

Technical sheet

• Size: 55 x 55 x 55 mm, slightly below the more common 56 mm standard.
• Weight: 74 g, very light.
• Finish: stickerless, moulded coloured plastic.
• No magnets: standard budget version.
• Reference: MYML02.
• Difficulty level: 2.

Robust mechanism

One of the strengths of the MeiLong 3C is that the mechanism holds up well to continued use. Pops (pieces that get ejected during a rough turn) are rare, especially useful for those learning who don't yet control the force applied on each move. The turn is fluid out of the box, no initial intervention needed.

Slightly more compact size

The 55 mm side makes this 3x3 slightly smaller than the 56 mm standard. For medium or small hands it's an advantage: it handles more comfortably and fingertricking is more agile. For large hands it may feel a bit tight, though still perfectly usable.

No magnets

It's the non-magnetic version of the line. For a magnetic feel there are the MeiLong 3x3 M and MoYu's higher ranges. This standard version is a sensible choice as a learning cube — where magnets don't make a real difference — or as a customisable base for those who want to install magnets themselves.

Who it's for

The MeiLong 3C fits three profiles well:

• Beginners: affordable first cube with a decent turn for learning the layer method or getting into CFOP.
• Cubers with a collection: good affordable spare cube for travelling, lending or leaving in a bag without worry.
• Gift: sensible option when you want to give a reasonable-quality cube without spending much.

It's not a competition cube, but for learning and practising the classic 3x3 it more than delivers. The combination of robust mechanism, light weight and very accessible price makes it a well-executed staple within MoYu's budget catalogue.
