YJ Yuhu Megaminx V2 M — lightweight budget magnetic megaminx with sculpted surface

YJ Yuhu Megaminx V2 M is an updated version of YJ’s popular budget megaminx, featuring magnets in the pieces and a comfortable sculpted surface. It is light in the hand, offers smooth, controllable turning and works very well as a first magnetic megaminx for both practice and competitions.

The magnets help the layers snap cleanly into place, while the sculpted ridges on the faces improve grip and keep your fingers from slipping — especially useful during longer sessions and timed solves.

Who is this megaminx for

Skill level:

• beginners who are moving from a 3×3 cube to their first megaminx;
• casual and intermediate cubers who want an affordable yet comfortable magnetic megaminx;
• schools and clubs that need a reliable training puzzle for classes and early competitions.

Best use:

• learning basic and intermediate megaminx methods;
• daily timed practice at home or in a cubing club;
• local and official WCA competitions.

Design features

• Magnets in edges and corners — provide a neat, consistent click, helping layers lock into place and reducing mis-turns.
• Sculpted surface — shallow ridges and grooves on the faces improve grip, so the megaminx slips less in your hands, even when your palms get sweaty.
• Classic spring-based core — a proven, simple system without MagLev: tension is adjusted easily through the screws.
• Refined internal geometry — solid corner-cutting and relatively few lockups for a puzzle in the budget price range.
• Low weight — light enough that your hands won’t tire quickly, even during long practice sessions and algorithm drilling.

Setup and turning feel

• Smooth, moderately fast turning — the megaminx speeds up easily while staying controlled and not feeling loose or floppy.
• Adjustable tension — a small adjustment of the screws is enough to find your ideal balance between speed and stability.
• Mild magnetic feel — magnets are noticeable but not too strong, so turning doesn’t feel harsh and remains comfortable for the fingers.
• Stable at speed — layers don’t drift apart on their own, and the puzzle keeps its shape even during faster solves.

Who might not like it

• very advanced speedcubers who want a top-end flagship megaminx with maximum corner-cutting;
• cubers who prefer a completely smooth (non-sculpted) surface with no ridges;
• collectors looking for exotic cores and complex adjustment systems — the Yuhu V2 M is focused on practicality and value.
