MoYu Meilong 5x5x5 + Robot

MoYu MeiLong 5x5x5

MoYu MeiLong 5x5x5 is an affordable 5x5 cube from MoYu's budget MeiLong series. This series was created so you can start solving bigger cubes without spending money on a flagship model. The cube comes in the stickerless bright color scheme, so the plastic itself is colored. There are no stickers that could peel off or wear away. The set is sold as MeiLong 5x5x5 + Robot, which means you get the cube together with a robot add-on.

How it turns

The MeiLong 5x5 doesn't pretend to be a flagship cube. What you mainly expect from a first 5x5 is that it turns reasonably well and doesn't fall apart during your first solves. In that role, it does a good job. At about 61.5 mm, it is smaller than a classic 5x5, so it's easier to hold, especially for smaller hands, e.g. children's. Its weight of about 135 g means the cube won't tire your hands during longer sessions.

To be fair, here's what to expect. This is a non-magnetic design, so the layers don't align by themselves, and lockups may occur when turning faster. People who already solve 5x5 for time and care about stability and control at high TPS usually switch to a magnetic cube fairly quickly. For learning center reduction, edge pairing and parity, this cube is more than enough.

Who is this 5x5 for?

• For people who can solve a 3x3 and want to try their first 5x5 cube.
• For parents looking for a gift for a child who already solves smaller cubes. Thanks to the add-on, the set looks a bit more like a gift.
• For cubers who want a cheap 5x5 for school, a backpack or casual solving, without worrying about a more expensive model.

If you're planning regular timed 5x5 practice, consider a magnetic 5x5 cube right away. For many people, it's simply the more comfortable long-term choice.
