The MoYu MeiLong 9x9 V3 (Magnetic, Ball-Core) is a compact, competition-ready 9x9 speed cube built for smoother turning, stronger alignment, and better long-solve comfort. Compared to the previous MeiLong 9x9, this version is smaller and significantly lighter (now 65.5mm / 191g vs. 75mm / 284g), which reduces hand fatigue and makes multi-layer control easier. With 208 magnets and an upgraded ball-core system that adds 8 embedded core magnets for balanced, core-centered pull, it delivers the stability many traditional 9x9 cubes struggle to achieve.

Why you’ll like it
-
More stable 9x9 turning: Ball-core corner-to-core magnets improve control and reduce “floaty” big-cube feel.
-
Cleaner alignment at speed: 208 magnets help layers settle into place for fewer corrections.
-
Less fatigue, more practice: Smaller and lighter design makes long solves more comfortable.
-
Stronger structure: Interlocking and locking systems reduce wobble and misalignment for worry-free solving.
Performance & design highlights
-
Upgraded ball-core (8 embedded core magnets): Creates balanced, core-centered magnetic pull to improve stability and re-alignment.
-
Central column + locking structure: Rock-solid column with tightly interlocked design helps prevent center wobble and keeps dual pieces firmly in place.
-
Anti-misalignment layers: Full interlocking layers help prevent misalignment during fast multi-layer turns.
-
Symmetrical locking structure: Designed for maximum structural integrity across the cube.
-
Wider outer layers: Improves grip comfort and control—especially useful for advanced solvers managing complex sequences.
-
Simple tuning: Fine-tune with a single screw for many tension feels.
-
Premium semi-gloss colors: Glossy, semi-gloss finish reduces glare and improves visibility.
