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

DaYan Skewb V2 M – MagLev + UV is the most advanced version of the Skewb V2 line. It combines a magnetic ball core (corner-to-core magnets for auto-alignment), MagLev tensioning instead of springs, and a UV-coated exterior with super glossy yet surprisingly grippy plastic.

The puzzle measures around 56 × 56 × 56 mm and weighs about 80 g. It comes in bright stickerless plastic with a UV gloss, and the center pieces are sculpted and slightly concave to improve grip. Inside you’ll find a magnetic ball core, MagLev centers, adjustable corner magnets, and a numeric dual-adjustment core system.

Who is DaYan Skewb V2 M – MagLev + UV for

Skill level:

• intermediate skewb solvers who already time their solves;
• advanced speedcubers looking for a true flagship with ball core + MagLev;
• competitive cubers who value speed, stability, and a wide adjustment range.

Best use:

• daily speed practice 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, reducing friction and noise and giving a faster, smoother turning feel.
• Magnetic ball core — corner-to-core magnets boost stability and auto-centering, with a feel similar to modern flagship 3×3 cubes that use core magnets.
• Adjustable corner magnets (5 settings) — tune the magnetic feel from softer, smoother clicks to a stronger, more defined layer snap.
• Dual-adjustment core system — 6 compression settings and 8 tension settings let you precisely balance freedom of movement and control.
• UV-coated exterior — a high-gloss coating adds shine, grip and extra resistance to small scratches, giving the skewb a premium look and feel.
• Sculpted centers and anti-stick piece design — improved piece geometry reduces catching and keeps turning smooth at high TPS.
• Tool-free adjustment — magnet strength and core settings can be changed by hand, without any dedicated adjustment tool.

Setup and turning feel

• Extremely fast, “glidey” turning — thanks to MagLev, layers accelerate with very little resistance, making the cube feel light and effortless to turn.
• Strong but tunable magnetic feedback — the ball core and corner magnets snap layers cleanly into place, and you can adjust how pronounced that click feels.
• Stable at high TPS — the modern mechanism and core magnets support excellent corner-cutting and low pop risk, even under very aggressive turning.
• Glossy yet grippy surface — the UV coating looks smooth and shiny, but still provides enough traction so the skewb doesn’t feel slippery in the hand.

Who might not like it

• complete skewb beginners, who may find a simpler, slower budget puzzle easier to learn on;
• cubers who prefer the heavier, more resistant feel of classic spring-based skewbs;
• anyone who dislikes very fast, glidey cubes and highly glossy UV finishes.
