MoYu Weilong Pyraminx M – MagLev edition of the flagship pyraminx with magnetic levitation instead of springs

MoYu Weilong Pyraminx M – Maglev is the faster version of the popular Weilong pyraminx, where the traditional springs are replaced by a MagLev system (two repelling magnets in the core). This gives the puzzle faster, lighter and more “glidey” turning, while still maintaining good stability and a clear magnetic click in the layers.

In terms of feel, the MagLev version is noticeably quicker and lighter under the fingers, so it demands a bit more control, but when properly set up it is excellent for both timer practice and official WCA competitions.

Who is this pyraminx for

Skill level:

• confident casual cubers who already solve pyraminx and want more speed;
• advanced speedcubers who like very light turning and a fast response;
• those who have used regular magnetic pyraminxes and now want to upgrade to a MagLev system.

Best use:

• daily high-speed practice and timed sessions;
• preparation and participation in official WCA competitions;
• pushing personal bests and achieving fast, consistent pyraminx averages.

Design features

• MagLev core instead of springs — two repelling magnets in the core replace the spring, reducing friction, making the turning lighter and giving a more “slippery” feel.
• Magnets in edges and tips — standard magnets in the layers provide a clear, but not overly strong click, helping the layers snap precisely into place.
• Rounded piece design — good corner-cutting and minimal lockups, even with aggressive turning and advanced fingertricks.
• Bright stickerless plastic — high-contrast colors make face recognition quicker and easier.
• Size and weight — typical for a modern pyraminx (around 95–96 mm edge length, low weight), comfortable in the hand and easy on the fingers during long sessions.

Setup and turning feel

• Very light, fast turning — thanks to the MagLev system, the pyraminx accelerates easily and moves with very little resistance.
• Adjustable tension — you can tune it very loose for maximum speed, or slightly tighter for extra stability and control.
• Pronounced magnetic feel — magnets are clearly noticeable and help prevent layer overshooting, while still being comfortable for the fingers.
• Stable at high speeds — despite the light, fast turning, the puzzle holds its shape well and doesn’t fall apart even with very fast turning styles.

Who might not like it

• cubers who prefer a tighter, more “resistant” feel and a classic spring core;
• complete beginners who are just getting started with pyraminx (a slightly slower model may be easier first);
• those who like ultra-soft magnets with almost unnoticeable clicks.
