MoYu RS3M V5 (Magnetic Dual Adjustment) is the next generation of the legendary RS3M line, bringing modern flagship features into an affordable 3×3.
With a compact 55.5 × 55.5 × 55.5 mm size and weight of about 67 g, this cube offers a fast and controllable feel, plus MoYu’s dual adjustment system for fine-tuning.

It uses a hidden magnet layout, frosted stickerless surface and a modern core system designed to minimise friction while keeping turning stable even at high TPS.

Who is this cube for

Level:

• intermediate cubers who want to move from basic budget cubes to something more serious;
• advanced casual solvers and early-stage speedcubers who need a reliable main for practice and local competitions.

Age:

• teenagers and adults;
• also suitable for motivated younger solvers who are already comfortable with a standard 3×3 size.

Main uses:

• regular timed practice and first competitions;
• upgrading from an older RS3M or non-magnetic cube to something faster and more configurable;
• a universal “workhorse” cube for everyday solving on a budget.

Turning feel

RS3M V5 Dual Adjustment keeps the characteristic RS3M feel:

• turning is fast and light, but not “wild”;
• the magnets give distinct, confident layer alignment without feeling overly strong;
• the cube accelerates easily with finger tricks and keeps good control during spammy solves.

The mechanism is designed with reduced friction compared to previous generations, so the cube feels smooth and “clean” out of the box. With a bit of setup and lube it can be tuned either slightly softer and more buttery, or crisper and more reactive — depending on your preferences.

For complete beginners this speed might feel sharp at first, but for anyone used to modern speedcubes, the RS3M V5 is easy to tame and very comfortable for long sessions.

Magnets and adjustment

Magnetic system:

• 48 built-in magnets between edges and corners;
• magnets are factory-installed and non-adjustable, with a medium strength that suits most styles.

Dual Adjustment core system:

• MoYu’s dual adjustment lets you separately set:
  • screw tension (distance between pieces),
  • spring compression / elasticity with stepped settings (up to 9 positions, depending on the variant);
• you can quickly reach a setup that’s tighter and more stable, or looser and more flexible, without needing extra parts.

In practice, you get a tuning system that’s powerful but not confusing: you mainly play with the spring compression levels, then fine-tune tension with a screwdriver until the cube feels just right.

Stability and corner-cutting (3×3)

As a modern RS3M generation cube, V5 confidently handles high-speed turning:

• strong forward corner-cutting and solid reverse corner-cutting for a cube in this price range;
• good forgiveness of small inaccuracies, so you don’t have to be perfectly precise on every move;
• magnetised layers help the cube “snap” into place after each turn, reducing lockups.

The internal design includes standard anti-pop and anti-twist elements, so pops in normal solves are very rare if the cube is set up correctly.

You can tune the cube to be:

• more flexible and lively — lighter tensions, more aggressive, suitable for high TPS;
• more tight and stable — higher compression and tension for those who prefer control over raw speed.

Size, weight, materials

• Size: 55.5 × 55.5 × 55.5 mm — slightly smaller than classic 56 mm, nice for most hand sizes and modern finger-trick styles.
• Weight: about 67 g — light enough for long sessions, but with a bit more “presence” than ultra-light flagships.
• Body: stickerless, bright color scheme, easy to distinguish at speed.
• Surface: frosted plastic — less prone to visible scratches, provides a pleasant, slightly grippy feel.
• Internals: modern core and spring system designed for reduced friction and more consistent turning.

Key advantages

• Excellent price-to-performance ratio: RS3M V5 Dual Adjustment brings many “flagship-like” features into a budget cube.
• Dual Adjustment core — separate control of tension and elasticity, with multiple preset levels, makes it easier to find your ideal setup.
• Balanced magnetic feel — 48 hidden magnets give stable alignment without being too strong or too weak.
• Modern corner-cutting and stability — performs on par with many mid-range and some higher-end cubes.
• Light and compact — comfortable for fast turning and long practice sessions.

All this makes RS3M V5 Dual Adjustment an excellent main or backup main for many speedcubers who want serious performance without paying flagship prices.

Who it might not be ideal for / nuances

• If you want maximum technology (MagLev, ball-core, auto-alignment, UV coating, etc.), those features are present in other RS3M V5 variants, not in this simpler Dual Adjustment Magnetic version.
• If you prefer a very heavy, “solid brick” feel, this relatively light and fast cube may feel too easy to push.
• Complete beginners who just bought their first speedcube might not fully use the dual adjustment system right away, although the cube is still perfectly usable out of the box.

If the buyer is already into cubing, enjoys tuning cubes and wants a reliable budget “main” with modern performance, MoYu RS3M V5 3×3 Dual Adjustment Magnetic is a very strong choice.
