Accessories
Included with the RS 3 Pyraminxes are the standard MoYu puzzle accessories, including a screwdriver, dual-adjustment tool and spare dual-adjustment piece.
Adjustment
To access the dual-adjustment system, turn the Pyraminx's tip (corner) 45°, and pull on the tip carefully. The whole tip will come off and reveal the dual adjustment system.
To adjust the screw depth, use the screwdriver and rotate counter-clockwise or clockwise to make the adjustment. To adjust the spring strength or magnet distance in the MagLev variant, use the blue dual adjustment tool and rotate counter-clockwise. When adjusting, use one hand to hold the piece that houses the magnets, as if the piece turns adjusting will not be possible.

Turning feel and Performance
In the video review, Cameron said
The tips [of both variants] feel identical to me.
Turning is super quiet and dry sound, it has kind of a hollow sound... the MagLev version is a lot easier to turn than the standard version [out of the box].
As for performance, Cameron said
Unsurpisingly, the corner cutting is a little better on the standard than the MagLev.
However, this likely could be the out-of-the-box settings, where with some fine-tuning, the corner-cutting could be improved.
Lubricant Recommendation
Out of the box, the turning is quiet and dry sounding. To add some more substance and remove the dry feel, we recommend lubricant such as martian to smoothen out the puzzle.
To slow down the fast-turning MagLev variant, Cosmos can slow down the puzzle without changing the turning feel. However, if both removing the dry feel and sound alongside slowing down the puzzle is desired, a thicker lubricant such as Nebula or Galaxy will achieve said effect.
Conclusion
Overall, we are excited to see MoYu continue to create more puzzles that include MagLev at lower prices, lowering the barrier to entry for flagship-quality puzzles for more cubers. It will be interesting to see whether or not this puzzles is picked up by fast pyraminx solvers, especially considering the price of the flagship MoYu WeiLong pyraminx, which also features MagLev for $6 more.
