MoYu MeiLong MFJS Megaminx V2 M — budget magnetic megaminx with improved grip and smooth turning

MoYu MeiLong MFJS Megaminx V2 M is an updated budget megaminx from MoYu’s sub-brand MoFang JiaoShi (MFJS / Cubing Classroom). This version keeps the characteristic convex / spaced piece design for better grip while featuring a refined internal mechanism that lets the layers glide more easily and consistently.
The puzzle weighs about 148–149 g and measures roughly 86–90 mm in height, making it light and comfortable for longer practice sessions. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}

The MeiLong Megaminx V2 M is positioned as an affordable yet capable option that works well for both beginners and more advanced cubers. The magnets are of weak–moderate strength, so the turning stays fast without feeling overly stiff, which many megaminx solvers appreciate. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}

Who is this megaminx for

Skill level:

• beginners who already solve a 3×3 comfortably and want to learn megaminx;
• casual and intermediate cubers looking for a modern magnetic megaminx at a low price;
• experienced solvers who want a light, stable “workhorse” megaminx for daily practice.

Best use:

• daily timed practice and algorithm drilling;
• preparing for local and official WCA competitions;
• pushing personal bests and building reliable megaminx averages.

Design features

• Convex / gapped piece design — small gaps and light texturing between pieces improve grip and make it easier to control the puzzle even with sweaty hands. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}
• Magnets in pieces — magnets in edges and corners provide a clean, consistent click that helps the layers snap into place. The magnet strength is on the weaker–moderate side, keeping the turning quick and unobstructed. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}
• Refined internal mechanism — improved internal tracks and geometry reduce friction, enhance corner-cutting and give a smoother overall feel compared to the earlier version. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}
• Stable and pop-resistant — described as a stable and robust puzzle with no issues with popping or corner twists, which is important for competition use. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}
• Stickerless plastic — colored plastic pieces instead of stickers, with bright high-contrast shades for easy recognition and no risk of peeling stickers. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}

Setup and turning feel

• Fast, smooth turning out of the box — the megaminx is already quite fast stock, and with some light adjustment and lubrication it can perform even better. :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}
• Classic spring-based core — a standard screw-and-spring system with no MagLev: easy to tune to your preferred tension without any complex setup. :contentReference[oaicite:28]{index=28}
• Weak–moderate magnetic feel — magnets are clearly noticeable, but they don’t dominate the turning, so the puzzle stays light, quick and comfortable for the fingers. :contentReference[oaicite:29]{index=29}
• Stable at speed — layers don’t drift apart on their own, and the puzzle holds its shape even with fairly aggressive turning. :contentReference[oaicite:30]{index=30}

Who might not like it

• cubers who prefer very strong magnets and extremely rigid layer locking;
• top-level competitors looking for a true flagship with the most extreme corner-cutting and advanced cores;
• anyone who just wants the absolute cheapest non-magnetic megaminx “to try the shape” — the MeiLong V2 M is already aimed at speedcubing use.
