Speedcubing: cubes and gear for solving against the clock

Speedcubing means solving a 3x3 cube and similar puzzles as fast as possible. In this category you will find all the gear you need for it: speed cubes in various sizes, unusual puzzles, electronic models and accessories. We have divided the range into four sections: Classic Cubes, Puzzles, Electronic Puzzles and Accessories. This makes it easier to find a specific product without browsing the whole range at once.

Cubes for getting started

You don't need to spend much to get started. Beginner cubes such as the MoYu Meilong, YuXin Little Magic or MoYu RS3M 2020 turn much more smoothly than toy cubes and work well while you learn your first method. Many budget models also come in a magnetic version (marked M or Magnetic). Magnets in the pieces pull the layer into place after each turn. This makes the cube easier to control and reduces lockups, meaning the cube jamming while you turn it.

Cubes for advanced cubers

More experienced cubers will find GAN, MoYu, QiYi and YJ models with more advanced features here. MagLev replaces the springs in the mechanism with magnets. Ball-Core is a magnetic core that adds extra stability to the layers. On top of that, there is UV coating and adjustable tension and magnet strength. These features let you match the feel and speed of the cube to your own style. However, they are not a requirement for good times. A well-chosen budget cube will serve many people for a long time, and a more expensive model makes sense mainly when you know what your current cube is missing.

Other WCA events

Besides NxN cubes, the category also includes other puzzles, including events held at competitions: Pyraminx (e.g. YJ YuLong Magnetic Pyraminx), Megaminx (YJ Yuhu v2 Megaminx Magnetic) and Square-1 (YuXin Little Magic Magnetic Square-1). If you want something other than coloured faces, try a Mirror cube, such as the ShengShou Mirror or QiYi Mirror. In this type of cube, the pieces differ in shape rather than colour, so while you solve it, the cube stops looking like a cube.

Speedcubing accessories

Our speedcubing accessories include cube lubes (such as LUBEST™ XMT 10, LUBEST PRO™ and Adheron), which let you change the speed and feel of the turns and take care of the mechanism. There is also the QiYi SpeedCubing Timer timer and mats for timing your solves in competition-like conditions. For storage and transport, there are stands (QiYi DNA, MoYu), the Z-cube Cube Box and the Cube bag cube pouch in sizes 2x2-5x5. If you magnetize your cubes yourself, you will also find cylindrical neodymium magnets here.
