SaoCube+QiYi M Pro 3x3 V3 Pioneer 20M Ball Core UV

SaoCube+QiYi M Pro 3x3 V3 Pioneer 20M Ball Core UV is a special edition of the QiYi M Pro V3 Pioneer cube, made in collaboration with SAOCube. Compared to the regular Pioneer UV version, two things have changed: the ball core has 20 magnets instead of 8, and the internal pieces are transparent. Everything else is the proven M Pro V3 platform: 55.5 mm size, a weight of approx. 67-70 g and a UV coating.

Ball core with 20 magnets

The spherical magnetic core pulls the pieces towards the centre of the cube. The 20-magnet version acts not only on the corners but also on the edges, so the cube is more stable and snaps into place more firmly after every turn. On top of that, there are magnets in the corners and edges, enclosed in capsules rather than glued in. Early user reviews especially praise the magnetic feel.

Adjustment and finish

The cube has dual adjustment: 8 levels of distance and 8 levels of elasticity, set on the centres with a visible scale. The UV coating gives a glossy, grippy surface. According to reviews, the cube comes with almost no lube, so it's worth lubing it and breaking it in a little before your first practice session.

Who is it for?

For those who like strongly magnetic cubes and are looking for something more than the regular Pioneer version, without going over the price of popular flagships. The transparent internals are also a nice detail for collectors. If you prefer a lighter pull, the regular M Pro V3 Pioneer UV with 8 magnets in the core will be a better choice.
