MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Black with stickers — lightweight budget magnetic 5×5 in a classic black look

MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Black with stickers is an affordable magnetic 5×5 from MoYu/Meilong in a classic configuration: black plastic + coloured stickers. It’s made for cubers who want to try big cubes without spending too much, but still prefer the traditional cube aesthetic.

In terms of feel it’s the same light, approachable Meilong 5×5 M: layer magnets, soft, easy turning and reasonably stable behaviour for learning and casual timed solves.

Who is this cube for

Skill level:

• beginners who already solve 3×3 and 4×4 and are picking up their first 5×5;
• casual and intermediate cubers who want an inexpensive but magnetic 5×5;
• schools and clubs where price, reliability and a classic stickered look matter.

Age:

• kids around 9–10 years old with 3×3 experience;
• teens and adults who want to get into 5×5 without jumping straight to a flagship;
• a solid first magnetic 5×5 if you like cubes with stickers.

Main use cases:

• learning 5×5 and stepping up from 4×4 to bigger cubes;
• home practice and friendly mini-competitions;
• use in clubs, studios and learning centres;
• as a “trainer” 5×5 you can experiment on and turn a lot without worry.

Turning feel

• surprisingly light and smooth turning for a budget 5×5;
• magnets provide a gentle, non-harsh click that helps layers align;
• outer layers feel a bit freer and faster, inner layers slightly firmer for stability;
• moderate sound level without harsh rattling — comfortable at home or in class;
• forgives typical beginner mistakes and doesn’t demand perfect technique.

Overall, MFJS Meilong 5×5 M feels like a light, friendly and intuitive cube: it’s easy to get used to, even if this is your very first 5×5.

Magnets, stability and corner-cutting

Magnetic system:

• built-in layer magnets help the cube lock in after each turn;
• magnetic strength is on the light-to-medium side — layers are guided, but turning stays easy;
• helps reduce random underturns and shaky, misaligned layers.

Stability and corner-cutting:

• stable enough for learning and casual speedcubing;
• corner-cutting comparable to a solid budget magnetic 5×5;
• with sensible setup, the cube rarely locks up and is not prone to pops under normal turning.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: compact 5×5 form factor (around 62 mm), comfortable for both kids and adults;
• Weight: light — reduces hand fatigue during longer sessions;
• Shell: black plastic with bright, high-contrast stickers;
• Surface: classic glossy stickers that look clean and are easy to recognise.

Key advantages of MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Black with stickers

• one of the most affordable magnetic 5×5 cubes for beginners and casual solvers;
• low weight and soft turning — comfortable for kids and new cubers;
• magnets improve control and help reduce mistakes;
• classic black, stickered look — the traditional “speedcube” style many people love;
• a great option as a first magnetic 5×5 or as a training cube for big-cube practice.

Who it may not suit / nuances

• very advanced speedcubers may find it below flagship level in raw speed and corner-cutting;
• cubers who prefer heavy turning and very strong magnets may find it too light and gentle;
• stickers will wear over time — this is normal for all stickered cubes.

MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Black with stickers is an excellent choice if you want an inexpensive, light and easy-to-handle magnetic 5×5 in a classic black body, perfect for learning big cubes and enjoying long, relaxing solves.
