MoYu RS3M MagLev 3×3 — budget MagLev 3×3 speedcube with very fast and smooth turning

MoYu RS3M MagLev is an upgraded version of the well-known RS3M series, where the traditional spring system is replaced by MagLev magnets between the centers. This reduces friction, increases speed and gives a light, almost floating turning feel. Piece magnets help layers stay aligned and support stability during high-turning-speed solves.

This model is made for cubers who want to move to a faster and more lively cube while still staying in the budget price range. Compared with the regular MoYu RS3M with springs, the MagLev version is clearly faster and more sensitive, so it is better suited for solvers who already have basic technique and are ready to spend a bit of time on setup.

Who is this cube for

Skill level:

• intermediate solvers looking for a noticeable speed upgrade over a simple budget cube;
• advanced cubers who need a fast but dependable training cube;
• competitors searching for an affordable MagLev main or backup cube.

Age:

• teenagers and adults, and younger cubers from around 9–10 years old with solid basics;
• not the best choice as a very first speedcube for complete beginners because of its high speed;
• works best for users who already have some experience with magnetic 3×3 cubes.

Main use cases:

• intensive daily practice focused on lowering solve times;
• main or backup cube for local and larger competitions;
• upgrade from the standard MoYu RS3M 2020 or similar budget models to a modern MagLev version.

Turning feel

• very smooth and light turning with a pronounced airy feel from the reduced friction;
• overall speed is high to very high, the cube reacts easily to small finger inputs;
• medium-strength magnets give clear clicks and guide the layers precisely;
• sound is a bit louder than on the spring version, but remains clean and satisfying;
• forgives small misalignments well, with most catches appearing only on extremely loose settings.

Overall, MoYu RS3M MagLev is aimed at a fast, energetic turning style — it feels lively and ready to sprint, yet keeps enough stability to stay under control in the hands of a solver with decent technique.

Magnets and adjustment system

Magnets:

• piece magnets in edges and corners for reliable layer alignment;
• factory-tuned magnet strength without separate adjustment, suitable for most turning styles;
• magnetic feedback helps the cube remain stable even at high turning speed.

Core and centers / Springs / MagLev:

• MagLev system between centers instead of springs, with reduced contact and lower friction;
• dual adjustment with screw tension and a clickable compression system on the centers;
• multiple compression levels let you choose between a freer, faster feel or a tighter, more stable setup;
• with a bit of testing it is easy to find a personal balance between maximum speed and control.

Stability and corner-cutting

• strong forward corner-cutting for a modern budget magnetic cube;
• solid reverse corner-cutting that covers small misalignments without frequent catches;
• MagLev core helps the cube keep its shape during aggressive turning;
• the design reduces the risk of pops at reasonable tension settings.

Size, weight, materials

• Size: around 56 × 56 × 56 mm, standard 3×3 size;
• Weight: about 85–90 g, relatively light for a MagLev cube;
• Shell: typically stickerless with bright, high-contrast colours (see the product page for the exact version);
• Surface: slightly matte or semi-matte finish that provides good grip;
• Internals: light-coloured plastic with tracks and ridges to hold lubricant and lower friction.

Key advantages of MoYu RS3M MagLev

• very fast, modern 3×3 with MagLev at a budget-friendly price;
• light, airy turning feel with a good balance between freedom and control;
• stable layer alignment thanks to magnets and internal design;
• dual adjustment system that allows fine-tuning to personal turning style;
• excellent as both a training cube and a competition-ready option for stronger beginners and advanced solvers.

Who it may not suit / nuances

• may feel too fast and sensitive for complete beginners;
• usually benefits from at least basic setup and lubrication to unlock its full potential;
• MagLev sound and feel may not appeal to those who prefer quieter, heavier cubes;
• solvers who want a very calm, slow cube may prefer the classic spring-based MoYu RS3M instead.

MoYu RS3M MagLev is an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced cubers who want a very fast, modern 3×3 with a MagLev core, strong corner-cutting and adjustable feel, while still keeping the total cost in the budget range.
