It has been inspiring to see how this community continues to support and encourage one another, no matter where you are in the world or how advanced you are in your cubing journey.
As we look back, we want to highlight some of this year’s customer favorites. These are five cube puzzles that have really caught your eye and earned top spots as 2024’s favorites. So let's begin, in no particular order, first up is the Dayan FTO Magnetic:

Many of you have enjoyed the challenge it brings, and we’ve heard your hopes that one day FTO might become an official World Cube Association (WCA) event.

The RS3M V5 line from Moyu has been a huge hit, and for a good reason. Each version within the lineup brings something differentl. You might go for a standard version, or maybe you want to explore the maglev upgrade, core magnets, or even UV coatings. The fact that you can start at a price as low as $8.95 and still get a high-performing cube is something we appreciate, and clearly you do too. Many world-class cubers have picked it up for one-handed solving, but we’ve also heard from plenty of beginners who’ve found it to be the perfect first “serious” cube. It’s a great all-arounder that balances cost, performance, and flexibility.

If you’ve been around cubing for a bit, you know big cubes tend to grab a lot of attention and the Gan 562 definitely earns it. Right from your first turn, it feels smooth, fast, and stable. The core magnets really help keep everything under control, which is a big plus when you’re working with something bigger than a traditional 3x3. You can also choose between UV or frosted finishes, so you get exactly the style and grip you prefer. Compared to older Gan big cubes, the 562 is a huge step forward. Many of you have told us it’s now your top pick for a 5x5.

Get your daily fruit serving with the Fanxin Banana! This decorative 2x2x3 shape-mod solves just like a normal 2x2x3 but is more of a challenge since you are solving by piece shape versus color. "Treat" yourself and collect the entire fruit collection! NOTE: Manufacturer… >> SHOP PRODUCT <<
Now, this one might not be what you’d expect from a “normal” cube. The Fanxin Banana puzzle (and the rest of the fruit-themed puzzles) brought a fun, lighthearted twist to your solving routine. Many of you have loved how it’s different enough to keep your mind active, yet not so hard that you get stuck for ages. You can solve it and then show it off as a bit of a conversation piece. Some of you even grabbed the full set with the apple and lemon versions, turning your collection into a colorful fruit basket of cube-shaped goodness. This puzzle reminds us that solving should be fun, and there’s always room to try something unexpected.
QiYi Mirror (Magnetic, Tiled)

The QiYi Mirror Cube stood out as a puzzle that lets you “see” cubing in a whole new way. Instead of lining up colors, you’re lining up shapes. It’s a simple twist that feels refreshing, even for those who have mastered the traditional 3x3. Its tiled design means you don’t have to worry about stickers peeling or wearing out, and the fact that it comes in multiple colors and has both magnetic and non-magnetic options means it can fit any preference. It’s been great to hear from so many of you who loved adding this unique challenge to your collection without breaking the bank.
