Description
The YJ MGC Beta 2x2 (Magnetic, Core Magnets, UV Coated) is a high-performance 2x2 speed cube built for fast turning with strong stability and clean alignment. Piece magnets provide crisp “clicks” for accuracy, while core magnets (corner-to-core) add a more controllable, planted feel—especially helpful when turning aggressively. A durable, high-grip UV coated finish improves handling, and the advanced magnet layout (including repulsion-assisted positioning) is designed to keep the cube stable at high TPS.

Customers praised this 2x2 cube for its exceptional value and performance. "First turns were so smooth it felt like a dream," noted one reviewer. The cube features strong magnets, UV coating, auto-alignment, and adjustability. Many found it dry/sandy out of the box. Some experienced corner popping issues and needed setup adjustments.
- First turns were so smooth it felt like a dream, this 2x2 is the best affordable cube ever
- Best turning 2x2 I have ever had. My average solve times went from 1 minute 30 seconds to 20 seconds
- Best 2x2 I've ever felt out of the box. Didn't need any tuning and for only $20 is a steal

This cube is phenomenal, I love the features that is has and I like the auto alignment. I found this a little uncontrollable ootb so today, I set the cube up by tightening it and adding solar and it was way better, the uv is a very great feature for grip. But a problem I have is that the corners could pop off (iykyk) but it's overall a good cube
Very good cube can’t wait till it’s ready for shipping and I can’t wait to buy this nether ty for the recommendation
This looks this cute looks so nice and not taking my hands on the cube. I’m buying it very very soon. I cannot wait.
Very cool cube very good for my collective looks so good in my shelves and probably to use to get this back right here. Thank you for recommending it to me.
Looks good
Pretty cool looking cute. I cannot wait to get my hands on these right here when I get rich obviously but yeah, who’s the best Cuban website here I think
This is a amazing 2x2 my favorite it has great turning and corner cutting. and is just a amazing cube. would recommend
First turns were so smooth it felt like a dream, this 2x2 is the best affordable cube ever
This cube is good, i love all the features it comes with, it does not really need breaking in to become at its peak and i love the auto alignment on this cube, a problem is that corners can pop of easily for me (iykyk) but other than that, solid cube!
This cube is definetly so worth it, the features are great and i love the visible auto alignment on this cube, but some problems are that the corner pieces can pop off easily sometimes and i had to solve this problem by using paper, other than good budget cube for beginners getting into 2x2 or just wanting to check this cube out
pretty dry and sandy and lubing is awkward but its extremely good especially for the price
Is absolutely crazy for the price it way to good my friend has it and it thought it was 60€ good UV coating strong magnet and is very fast
I got the whole fancy shmancy deal with the edge repelling and ball core and stuff. you can even remove the edge repelling if you don't like it. the cube comes super dry and sandy out of the box and im not sure how to lube it since there aren't too many contact points, so mine is still pretty sandy but definitely not dry. the corner cutting is insane, but it also comes super loose out of the box and I get a corner twist every 20-30 solves or so. I average about 6-7 seconds (im serious), and this is amazing for me. new main for sure. I used to use the gan 251 m air, but this is so much better.
veyr good and veyr cheap very nice and very fast
In my opinion it was the best 2x2 beaides the fact that it broke the day before my comp i spent my own money and i am in 6th grade 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Best turning 2x2 I have ever had or probably ever will have. The corner cutting and magnets are some of the best on any 2x2. This cube is also extremely adjustable. The cube turns so well that my average solve times went from 1 minute 30 seconds to 20 seconds on the first solve. I cannot say enough good about this cube.
This 202 is amazing it is nice and fast and although it is a little bit dry out of the box’ I still give it five stars because it is still a great 2 x 2 and it is amazing for $20 and I feel like it’s better than two by twos. That are up to $40. So I highly recommend it.
omg. opening this is amazing. the feel of this is so good, GAN is b tier
Best 2x2 you can get ootb. I haven’t set it up yet but it still works like a charm. If I were to explain the feeling of this cube, it’s like a mix between the weipo wrs and gan 251 pro. It retains its satisfying dry, papery feeling after break in, and is stable but quick. The magnets are just right, and really, there’s nothing to hate.
It does feel a little clicky at first, but you get used to the feeling. Idk if I will be using this as a main yet but imo, it is better than the Gan.
Did not expect this from YJ, but they’ve been putting out some great cubes recently.
best 2x2 i've ever felt out of the box. didn't need any tuning and for only $20 is a steal
Too fast ootb 😭
