The YJ YuLong is my first-ever speedcube and my first magnetic cube, and I couldn’t be happier with it.
When I first opened it, the cube felt a little stiff. After spending some time breaking it in with solves and turning it more, it became much smoother and more enjoyable to use. I still think a little cube lubricant would make it even better, but even without it, the improvement after breaking it in was noticeable.
My favorite feature is definitely the magnets. Every time I finish a turn, I can feel the pieces click into place, and it’s incredibly satisfying. The magnetic feel gives me much more confidence while turning and makes the cube feel stable without slowing it down.
The cube is also pleasantly loud and clicky, which makes solving even more enjoyable. Every solve feels satisfying because of the crisp turning and magnetic feedback.
Overall, this was an excellent first speedcube. If you’re looking for an affordable magnetic cube that’s fun to solve and has satisfying magnetic clicks, I highly recommend the YJ YuLong.
