MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Stickerless — lightweight budget magnetic 5×5 for your first big cube

MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Stickerless is an affordable magnetic 5×5 from MoYu/Meilong, designed for cubers who want to try big cubes without a big investment. It’s lighter and simpler in feel than high-end flagships, but still offers layer magnets, pleasant turning and solid performance for learning and casual timed solves.

The bright stickerless shell gives excellent colour visibility, and the low weight helps kids and beginners get through long solves with less fatigue.

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;
• school clubs and classes where price, simplicity and reliability are important.

Age:

• kids around 9–10 years old with basic 3×3 experience;
• teens and adults who want to “get to know” 5×5 without buying a flagship right away;
• a solid choice as a first magnetic 5×5 in a collection.

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 don’t mind experimenting with and turning a lot.

Turning feel

• surprisingly light and smooth turning for a budget 5×5;
• magnets give 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 similar 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: bright stickerless plastic with good colour contrast;
• Surface: slightly matte, pleasant to the touch and not overly slippery.

Key advantages of MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Stickerless

• 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;
• bright stickerless shell with clear colour recognition;
• 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 like heavy turning and strong magnets may find it too light and gentle;
• if you’re aiming straight for top competition results, you’ll likely want to upgrade to a flagship later.

MFJS Meilong 5×5 M - Stickerless is an excellent choice if you want an inexpensive, light and easy-to-handle magnetic 5×5 to learn big cubes, build core skills and simply enjoy long, relaxing solves.
