A Square-1 is an official competition puzzle that changes shape as you turn it: its top and bottom layers turn freely, and a slice through the middle flips half the puzzle. Getting it back to a cube shape is the first step of every solve. We stock Square-1s from budget picks to MagLev flagships.
For a first Square-1, a budget model from YuXin or QiYi is the place to start. Magnetic Square-1s use magnets to pull the layers into line, which makes the slice move easier to hit. Flagships from YJ and GAN add MagLev, which swaps the springs for repelling magnets for a lighter turn, and some add core magnets and UV coating, a matte finish that resists finger oil.
