Customers praised this Square-1 as "the best on the market" with smooth, fast turning and strong magnets that aid alignment. Many noted it's excellent for beginners and pros alike at a great price point. Common praise: "turns like butter" and "world class performance." However, some reported issues with pieces breaking easily, popping during solves, screws stripping, and scratchy layers even after extended use.

almost perfect.

I love the turning. the magnets are amazing. comes with black plates (or whatever they are called)
but man the plastic is not built to last.
all I did was swap out the plates and the small insertion part broke. it still can hold on, but I can no longer change the color.

This is a good square 1 but..

This is a good square 1. Probably the best there is but, from my experience it has a lot of issues as well. First the screwdriver that comes with it does not work with the square 1 since within an hour of getting it the **** was stripped and wasn't able to be lossend.
The cube also has a big popping problem. You cant really go 3 or 4 solves without popping or locking up. Finally... we'll I dont really have anything else to say its a decent cube

For its price, the best.

It's the first decent sq-1 cube that came out. Improvements will be made based on this, but even without any, it's undoubtedly a great cube, and the ability to change the color is perfect.

One of the best cubes

This cube has exalt turning and smooth turning. It has a bit of a sandy feel to it but I'm sure lube would make this cube have less of a sandy fewl. If you want a challenge I would get this cube. This cube takes hours to solve. Once you get good at it it will take seconds.

Square 1

This cube is very good, smooth turning and magnets align the cube easily. One of the black pieces did not go in all the way when switching colours, but the yellow pieces fit perfectly. A very minor issue, though, and still a very good cube. Would recommend
73/100

Really nice cube

Turns really nicely and has a pretty good feel to it. The biggest gripe I have with this product is not the cube itself but the panflit. It never goes over parity on the Square-1, which really annoys me. Other then that, good quality cube :3

Very nice, has issues though

Out of the box, it is very fast needed tightening and lube (I used lunar)
Immediately got a PB single of 9.48

That said, I had the core break about 6 months after getting it, I just recently got a new one and it's nice for now, please scs start selling replacement cores

This was my first square-1, and I’m glad it was. Super fun to play with and learn. It’s everything I expected and more, including the extra pieces. I don’t need to look any further. Fun!

Smooth turning, prefer uv-coated version+black side

I was about to get get the Shengshou Square-One, but after knowing it’s magnetic system aligns on the corner and the MGC skips the corner and keeps it aligned, I got this one. The turning was smooth, and as I wanted, the auto-alignment skips the corner and aligns the cube. Since it’s not uv-coated, I sometimes drop the cube.

really great

This is my first and only square one but I think it's really good. The magnets are perfect and turning is really smooth feels really good, works well with lube and I've never experienced it popping. The corner cutting is good enough. I like that you can swap out the white or yellow sides for black just be careful when you do because one of the pegs broke, maybe look up a tutorial (and you can take the other tiles off the same way to swap red-orange or blue-green)

Top‑Tier Performance for Square‑1 Solvers

The MGC Square‑1 is smooth, stable, and fast. The magnets help keep the layers aligned, reducing lockups and making algorithms easier to execute.

It’s one of the best Square‑1s available and a favorite among competitive solvers. The performance is outstanding.

Great…but

This cube is very nice. But when I tried to take it apart to set it up, I wasn’t able to unscrew the equator ****. I’m not sure why it’s so stuck.

Great Square-1

The V1 has great turning and great magnets. Overall, a great cube. One thing: The customization is lacking. You can't easily change the magnet strength (may not be possible) and , while it comes with black tiles, it doesn't say how to remove them, and it is quite hard to.
