MoYu RS Pyraminx M – MagLev: fast budget pyraminx with magnetic levitation instead of springs

MoYu RS Pyraminx M – MagLev is the MagLev version of the popular RS Pyraminx, where the traditional springs are replaced by a MagLev system – a pair of repelling magnets in the core. This gives the puzzle faster, lighter turning with less friction, while still keeping good stability and a clear magnetic click in the layers.

The cube remains affordable, in line with the RS series, but the feel is clearly closer to a more advanced level: it’s a great choice if you want a budget-friendly but very fast magnetic pyraminx for serious practice and competitions.

Who is this pyraminx for

Skill level:

• confident beginners and casual cubers who already solve pyraminx and 3×3 consistently;
• intermediate and advanced speedcubers who like light turning and quick response without paying flagship prices;
• those who have used the spring-based RS Pyraminx M and now want to upgrade to a MagLev version.

Best use:

• daily high-speed practice and timed sessions;
• preparation for local and official WCA competitions;
• pushing personal bests and building fast, consistent pyraminx averages.

Design features

• MagLev core instead of springs — two repelling magnets in the core replace the spring, reducing friction and giving a lighter, “glidey” feel. No spring wear or spring noise.
• Standard magnets in edges and tips — provide a soft but reliable click, helping layers lock into place cleanly and reducing mis-turns.
• Typical RS geometry — rounded pieces, basic but sufficient corner-cutting and protection against heavy lockups, ideal for learning and casual speedcubing.
• Bright stickerless plastic — high-contrast shades make face recognition easier and help you read the state of the puzzle more quickly.
• Size and weight — standard modern pyraminx size (around 95–96 mm edge length, low weight), comfortable for both kids and adults.

Setup and turning feel

• Very light, fast turning — thanks to the MagLev system the pyraminx accelerates easily, with smooth moves and very little resistance.
• Simple tension adjustment — a small screw adjustment is enough to find your preferred balance between speed and stability.
• Gentle magnetic feel — magnets are clearly noticeable but not harsh, making the puzzle comfortable for long practice sessions.
• Stable at speed — despite the light, fast turning, the layers don’t drift apart on their own and the pyraminx behaves predictably even with faster, more aggressive turning styles.

Who might not like it

• complete beginners who are just discovering pyraminx and prefer a slower, more forgiving feel;
• very advanced speedcubers who want a top flagship with extreme corner-cutting and the highest-end internals;
• cubers who prefer a tighter, heavier, more “springy” feel without the extra glide of MagLev.
