Cyclone Boys Magnetic 3x3 UV

Cyclone Boys Magnetic 3x3 UV

Cyclone Boys Magnetic 3x3 UV is a magnetic 3x3 cube in the stickerless bright version. It has the classic 57 mm size and a UV-coated surface. Cyclone Boys is a Chinese brand known mainly for budget cubes, and this model belongs to that group too. It's a good choice if you need a solid magnetic cube for learning and everyday solving rather than a flagship with extensive adjustment options.

What the magnets do

The magnets in the pieces pull the layers into alignment. After a turn, the layer "snaps" into place on its own with a clear click. This means fewer misaligned turns and less overshooting, and the cube doesn't fall out of shape during faster turning. Beginners find it easier to keep the cube aligned, and if you're already learning fingertricks, the magnets help you feel when a move is complete. With non-magnetic cubes, you have to pay much more attention to turning accurately.

UV coating and finish

The pieces are covered with a UV coating, a glossy varnish cured with UV light. This surface gives better grip than plain plastic, and it's also harder to scratch and wears more slowly. The Stickerless Bright version has bright, colorful pieces with no stickers, so nothing peels off or flakes. This matters especially for a child's cube that gets used a lot.

Cyclone Boys also makes magnetic Metallic cubes with a mirror-like finish. These are chosen mostly for their looks. The UV version described here has classic stickerless colors that are easier to tell apart while solving, because they don't reflect light like a metallic surface.

Who is it for?

For beginners and casual solvers who want to move from a non-magnetic cube to a magnetic one without spending a lot of money. It's also a sensible choice as a child's first cube or a spare cube for your backpack. Speedcubers looking for core magnets, MagLev or wide tension and compression settings should look at the more expensive 3x3 models from GAN, MoYu or QiYi.
