MoYu WeiLong WR M 3x3 V9 (Magnetic, MagLev, 20-Magnet Ball-Core, UV Coated)

My son used his new cube in a tournament. He had to have this one in particular and I can see why! If your child is a cuber they deserve the best!

This cube is great! It’s a bit fast and loud out of the box, but with some lube, it’s great

Lightning fast but still stable. Corner‑cutting is top‑tier and the magnets feel perfectly balanced.

Great cube!

It strikes the perfect balance between being easy to turn but still controllable

This cube out of the box has amazing performance, ans is really fast!

i already had tried this cuba at a compititition and i knew i had to buy it it was so nice and smooth after lube new main contender

With lubricant and breaking it in, really nice, smooth, fast cube

I bought the Moyu WRM V9 20-magnet ball core as a potential main. Regular price for the WRM V9 is $38. I performed 500 solves on this cube before posting this review. I purchased SuperNova service from SCS and have added Lunar lube once. I have the cube set up on adjustment "9" (loosest), with the spring backed out about a half turn.

PROS
Smooth, clacky and quiet compared to the RS3M V5 during metronome exercises, getting progressively more clacky as the TPS increases. Corner cutting is excellent, and the cube really rewards fast turns. It will forward corner all the way past 45 degrees (55?), and backward cut at about 22 degrees at my settings. I prefer UV coating on stickerless cubes, and Moyu's coating is as good as, if not better than Gan's. Removing the center caps is easy to do without tools. The plastic feels very nice providing a muted sound, and twisting is very forgiving. The price I paid for this cube represents a good value for a flagship cube.

CONS
Adjusting spring tension requires a screwdriver (provided) and other tension adjustments require the provided tool. Magnets are not adjustable, though they are strong enough to provide indication they are working. There is very little auto alignment effect. Being picky, the corner magnets may be too strong for my feel, causing pinky tricks to take a bit more effort. Initiating turns on the WRM V9 takes more effort than on the Gan 12 or Gan 15.

VERDICT
This is a very good cube. I rotate this cube through about as often as my other mains (Gan 12, Gan 15, Tornado V3) and I find twisting it rewarding. On my turning feel ranking, I currently have all my mains, including this one, as 10s, though this is "least great?" of my four mains. All of my mains have very similar AO100 times, however, on algs that require pinky tricks, I have to concentrate to make sure I initiate the turn far enough. I do prefer my Gan 12 or Gan 15 over this, but that is just feel thing, since I prefer light and fast over heavy and blocky. This still easily earns five stars on its own merits.

out of the box, the weilong v9 is extremely fast, loose, and sandy, which caused me to lock up. however, when i compressed and lubed it, it felt smooth and controllable and i got great times on it, but it was still a little too fast. i'd consider the rs3m v5 better as it's more controllable. i'd recommend this cube if you have the things necessary to set it up and if you can handle a fast cube.

HISTORY:
So, I have been cube searching for a long time now and have not have a true main. The longest I was with a cube was the Rs3m V5 Ball-core, but even then, it broke way too easily and was too slow to my liking. But now, after trying several new flagships, I finally found my new main.
NOTE: I bought the v9 and v10 for the first time in the month of November 2024. If you would like to read why I choose the v9 instead of the v10, look for my review in TheSpeedCubeShop.com for the Weilong v10 Spring version under my name, Connor Burnside.

ADJUSTMENTS:
I tightened the **** one full rotation on all sides and set the compression to 3, but i think more stable cubers might like 4 or 5.
It felt very fast at first, and uncontrollable, but having done extensive research beforehand, I expected this. So, I took some silicone-based lube and added about 5 drops. I use Gan 1 lube, not the fancy stuff. Being a teen that isn't sponsored yet and doesn't have a YouTube Channel, I don't receive free stuff, and I don't make a lot of money. :(
After those adjustments, the cube was heavenly. It was still a little fast, but I was coming from the slow, gunky RS3M v5 ball-core. Now that I'm used to it, I improved by solve and shaved off from 2 or 1 second(s)

Thoughts/Recommendations.
I recommend this cube to those who love:
Fair amount of stability, Super-fast speed with fast lube, or you can use slow lube and have a stable speed, AMAZING cornercuting, and doesn't deform.
If that doesn't sound like you, you might like the v10, which is way too stable.
(Read more in my v10 review.)
I love that this cube will not deform, yet it as great cornercutting and is mildly fast.

Overall:
I give this a 9.9/10, only because of the adjustment system. I only wish to have the v10 adjustment system in it to simplify things. Other than that, this is the top preforming cube on the market and is mained and love by thousands of cubers.

Where do I begin...

ootb it was very fast but still controllable. I didnt like it as much as first, but when I added lube and broke it in a little, it is now my favorite cube! The turning is very smooth and fast, and the magnet strength is great. The UV coating is great because it is shiny :). The only bad thing I found about this cube is that it turns too far sometimes thanks to the reppeling edge magnets. However, after breaking in and lube, I found that that didnt happen as much. I highly reccomend this cube for its amazing performance. I definitely prefer this over my Tornado V3.

Hope this helped :)

Smoothest cube I have tried

I love the way this thing sounds and feels. Probably my favorite compared to GAN 11, WRM V10, TORNADO V3, gan 12, rs3m v5.

Our first cube was awesome, but our second one is even better. Love these.

This is a very fun cube with a unique feeling you can't get anywhere else it feels very techy like kinda what the future of cubing would be like with how it just clicks into place without effort

New favorite cube, it's fast but still smooth and controlled. I was worried at first itd be to squishy during fast PLL but with proper tensioning and adjustments, it's just right. It's right up there with tornado v3 for me.

I cant even put into words how amazing this cube is. it almost feels like its holding your hand with the excellent corner cutting. out of the box settings were fine for me. got my new pb 3rd solve with this, and now its my new main. amazing cube would recommend to any level of speecuber

turns very fast and got lots of new pb's with this cube

This cube has a lot that is simply amazing. First of all, the corner cutting is more than you'll ever need, especially reverse. second of all, and most importantly, the auto-aligning is INSANE! And it's still really controllable. The UV coating is also very nice. Now the magnets are a little stronger than usual and are not adjustable, but for me that's fine since I like stronger magnets. This cube, imo is the best cube on the market, maybe even better than the v10.

I bought this cube on a good sale and I love it. It was a little too fast out of the box but after I put some galaxy in it and tightened it it was perfect I set a new pr single of 16.23 seconds. I would definitely recommend this cube to other cubers.

Really good cube i bought it as my main and also cause it was on sale and was very happy with it. Its nice and fast yet also very controllable. i love the amount of auto alignment it has and the uv coating is incredible.

Went from a Duncan "speedcube" to this, and just wow. Super smooth!

Turns a little too fast out of the box

Best Cube Ever

the 20-magnet version in my opinion is the best version of the v9. The cube has good turning and it is not snappy although the out-of-box version is to loose and uncontrollable. If you lube the cube with either galaxy or nebula to slow it down and you can tighten the cube to give it controllability. I broke all my pbs' with the v9. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
