MoYu 4x4x4 AoSu WRM

The MoYu 4x4x4 AoSu WRM is a magnetic 4x4 cube from 2019 and the successor to the AoSu GTS2 M. When it came out, it was MoYu's flagship 4x4. Newer AoSu generations are available today, but the WRM is still a proven 4x4 for speedcubing. It measures approx. 59.5 mm, so it is slightly smaller than a typical 4x4 (usually approx. 60–62 mm). This can help if you have smaller hands or often switch between 4x4 and 3x3.

What has changed compared to the AoSu GTS2

The mechanism is almost the same as in the GTS2. The differences are small but easy to notice:

1. the inner part of the corner shell is less rounded, which may slightly reduce reverse corner cutting,
2. there are no tracks on the front and back surfaces of the edges, which does not affect turning,
3. the outer layers are wider in relation to the inner ones, so the cube is comfortable to hold despite its smaller size.

How it solves

The AoSu WRM turns very lightly and has corner cutting on the level of the GTS2, which was considered one of the best among 4x4 cubes at the time of its release. The cube is stable, but because of the wider outer layers, a little less so than its predecessor. Straight out of the box it may feel dry and slightly scratchy. After a few solves and some lube, it usually breaks in. On the factory setting, some people find it quite fast.

The magnets are distributed unevenly. On the inner layers they are strong and noticeably slow down their turning, while on the outer layers they are light. This makes it easier to control slices in algorithms with inner layer moves, for example in parity. If you prefer evenly distributed, weaker magnets, keep this in mind.

Adjustment

Tension is set with classic adjustment screws. A screwdriver is included. You can set the cube looser for speed or tighter for control and less tendency to pop.

Who is it for?

For someone moving from a budget 4x4 to their first more serious cube, and for speedcubers who like smaller 4x4 cubes and firmer inner layers. The cube is allowed in official WCA competitions. Available colours: Black and Stickerless Bright.
