DaYan Skewb V2 M – MagLev + UV — flagship skewb with ball-core stability, MagLev speed and UV-coated finish

DaYan Skewb V2 M – MagLev + UV is the most advanced version of the Skewb V2 line, combining a magnetic ball core, MagLev tensioning in the centers and a UV-coated outer surface. This blend of technologies gives you ultra-fast, low-friction turning, strong stability and a glossy, high-grip exterior.

The puzzle measures around 55 mm and weighs roughly 70–75 g. It comes in bright stickerless plastic with a UV gloss, along with sculpted, slightly concave center pieces for a more secure hold. Inside you’ll find a corner-to-core magnetic ball system, MagLev center mechanism, adjustable corner magnets and a dual-adjustment core for compression and tension.

Who is DaYan Skewb V2 M – MagLev + UV for

Skill level:

• intermediate and advanced skewb solvers who already practice with times;
• cubers upgrading from a budget skewb to a true flagship with ball core and MagLev;
• competitive speedcubers who want speed, stability and broad adjustability.

Best use:

• daily speed training and high-TPS algorithm drilling;
• training for and competing at official WCA skewb events;
• pushing averages and chasing new personal bests.

Design features

• MagLev tensioning instead of springs — repelling magnets in the centers replace traditional springs, cutting friction, reducing noise and giving a faster, “glidey” feel.
• Magnetic ball core — corner-to-core magnets improve stability and auto-centering, giving a feel reminiscent of modern flagship 3×3s.
• Adjustable corner magnets (5 settings) — tune the magnetic feel from soft, subtle clicks to strong, defined layer snapping.
• Dual-adjustment core — up to 6 compression and 8 tension settings let you dial in the balance between freedom and control.
• UV-coated exterior — a high-gloss finish adds extra shine, better scratch resistance and a surprisingly grippy feel compared to standard glossy plastic.
• Sculpted centers and anti-stick geometry — reduce catching and improve grip, keeping the skewb comfortable and controllable in long sessions.
• Tool-free adjustment — many settings (magnets, compression) can be changed by hand, without needing a dedicated adjustment tool.

Setup and turning feel

• Extremely fast, “icy” turning — thanks to MagLev, layers accelerate with very little resistance, making the cube feel light and highly responsive.
• Strong but tunable magnetic feedback — the ball core and corner magnets snap layers into place, yet you can soften or strengthen the click as you prefer.
• Stable at high TPS — the combination of ball core, MagLev and a modern mechanism delivers solid corner-cutting and low pop risk, even under aggressive turning.
• Glossy yet grippy surface — the UV coating looks smooth and shiny but still provides enough traction so the cube doesn’t feel slippery in the hand.

Who might not like it

• complete skewb beginners, who may be better off starting with a simpler, slower model;
• cubers who prefer a heavier, more resistant spring feel instead of MagLev;
• anyone who dislikes very fast, glidey cubes and highly glossy UV finishes.
