The MFJS MeiLong 5x5 M is the magnetic version of the 5x5 from MoYu's MeiLong line. The proposal is clear: to offer a cube with factory magnets and solid performance, at a fraction of the price of top-tier models. Among the affordable options for 5x5, it's one of the most balanced in the current catalogue.

Factory magnets

The magnets come installed in the pieces from the manufacturing process, so nothing needs to be done when opening the box. Their main function is to give feedback at the end of each turn: you can tell when the face lands aligned thanks to a clear magnetic "click". On a 5x5, with 25 pieces per face, this alignment help is especially welcome when chaining fast turns.

Turning behaviour

The turning is fluid out of the box, somewhat quieter than the non-magnetic versions in the same line. The magnets bring stability without slowing movements, and screw tension adjustment lets you modify the firmness to taste. To refine the feel further, it accepts standard speedcubing lubricants without issue.

Stickerless finish

Like the rest of the MeiLong line, this 5x5 uses moulded coloured plastic. The colours are integrated into the piece, not applied on top, so there's no risk of wear or of edges peeling over time. On a 5x5 this feature significantly extends the cube's lifespan compared to stickered versions.

Who it's for

The MeiLong 5x5 M fits cubers who want to step up to the 5x5 from the 4x4 without spending competition-cube budget. It also works as a secondary cube for those who already own a high-end 5x5 and want a lighter pocket-friendly option for travel or lending.

It's not a cube designed to break world records, but for daily practice and for learning the resolution methods specific to 5x5s — edge pairing, centres and reduction to 3x3 — it more than delivers. The combination of factory magnets, stickerless finish and contained price is hard to match in its segment.
