The MoYu MeiLong 9x9 V3 is a compact, lightweight 9x9 speed cube designed to make high-order solving feel more stable and less tiring. Compared to the previous MeiLong 9x9, this version is significantly smaller and lighter (65.5mm / 176g vs. 75mm / 284g), which helps reduce hand fatigue and improves control during long solves. A reinforced internal build—featuring a central column + locking structure and full interlocking layers—helps prevent center wobble and misalignment for a more consistent, worry-free turning experience.

Why you’ll like it
Less fatigue on long solves: Smaller, lighter 9x9 design is easier to handle for extended sessions.
More stable structure: Locking and interlocking systems help keep layers aligned and reduce wobble.
Better control in complex turns: Wider outer layers improve grip comfort and stability.
Easy to tune: One-screw adjustment lets you dial in the feel you want.
Performance & design highlights
Central column + locking structure: Rock-solid, tightly interlocked design helps prevent center wobble and keeps dual pieces firmly in place.
Anti-misalignment layers: Full interlocking layers are designed to prevent misalignment during fast multi-layer turns.
Symmetrical locking structure: Perfect symmetry supports maximum structural integrity across the cube.
Wider outer layers: Improves comfort and control, especially for advanced solvers managing multi-layer sequences.
Simple tuning: Fine-tune with a single screw for countless tension feels.
Structure: Central column + locking structure; full interlocking anti-misalignment layers; symmetrical locking design
Tuning: Single-screw tension adjustment
Ergonomics: Wider outer layers for control and comfort
If you want a 9x9 speed cube that’s easier to control, easier on your hands, and built for stable multi-layer solving, the MoYu MeiLong 9x9 V3 is a strong upgrade.
Customers praised this 9x9 puzzle cube as "well worth the price" with fast turning for a large cube. The compact size fits hands well. However, shoppers noted it tends to lock up and catch during use, likely due to the absence of magnets. Most found it reliable as it "won't pop" during extended solving sessions, though the difficulty level requires patience.
Well worth the price. In perfect condition. This is my main 9x9.
I turned it a lot, and it wouldn't pop, good cube
Turns pretty fast for a big cube. It's small, so it fits my hands well.

Worth the price
The cube is well worth the price. When it arrived it was in perfect condition and had not been tampered with. This is my main 9x9.

It hasn't popped since I bought it
It won't pop, but it does catch up, but its common since it has no magnets

This cube turns pretty fast for a big cube, but it does lock up a lot. It's also kinda small, so it fits my hands well.

pretty good
The cube itself was decent but this thing took my HOURS to solve
