The MeiLong Megaminx V2 M is the second magnetic version of MoYu's budget megaminx. The brand has revised the internal mechanics and the magnetic system compared to the first version, seeking an affordable dodecahedron with the feel of a higher-tier cube.

Factory magnets

The magnets come installed from the factory, so there's no need to open the puzzle or add anything on purchase. Their role is to guide the end of each turn so the face aligns more easily. On a megaminx — with its 12 faces — this alignment help reduces manual corrections between moves and makes the solve flow better.

Light and comfortable design

At 168 grams and a standard size of 86 x 86 x 75 mm, the V2 M handles comfortably in both large and small hands. Weight is well distributed and the overall feel is of a balanced puzzle, designed for long sessions without straining the wrists. Corner cutting is reliable, which helps keep pace without unnecessary lock-ups.

Stickerless finish

The stickerless version uses coloured plastic moulded directly into the pieces. No stickers to peel off or colours to fade with use: the look holds up over time, especially useful on a megaminx where many faces and many pieces are exposed to daily contact.

Who it's for

The MeiLong Megaminx V2 M is aimed at two clear profiles. On one hand, those getting into the megaminx from the 3x3 who want to do it with a magnetic puzzle from the start, without spending competition-model budget. On the other, intermediate cubers looking for an affordable dodecahedron as a secondary practice cube, to travel with or leave on the desk without worrying about damage.

As a replacement or upgrade from the first version, the V2 brings a more polished turn and a better-calibrated magnetic system. For those who already know the MeiLong line and want to step up in quality without changing range, it's a natural move with very good price-performance.
