YJ Macaron 4x4 Cube

YJ Macaron 4x4 Cube

YJ Macaron 4x4 is a stickerless 4x4 cube from YJ (YongJun) in the Macaron colour scheme. Instead of saturated, bright colours, it has light pastel shades, so it looks noticeably different from a typical speedcube. The plastic is coloured, so there are no stickers that could wear off or peel.

Macaron colour scheme

The pastel colours are the main feature of this version. They will appeal to anyone who cares about how their cube looks, and they make it a good gift. Pastel shades usually have less contrast than classic stickerless colours, so before you buy, look at the product photos and check that you can easily tell all the faces apart. This matters especially if you want to use the cube to learn how to solve it.

Size and weight of the 4x4 cube

The cube measures 60 mm, the standard size for a 4x4. It is noticeably larger than a typical 3x3 cube (approx. 56 mm) and larger than mini 4x4 cubes, which are the size of a 3x3. At 60 mm your fingers get a comfortable grip on the layers, which helps with inner layer turns (wide moves) on a bigger cube. It weighs approx. 115 g.

Who is it for?

For anyone who wants a 4x4 in unusual pastel colours: to get started with bigger cubes, for casual solving or as an addition to a collection. If you are just moving from 3x3 to 4x4, keep in mind that this cube has no fixed centres. To solve it, you need to learn the reduction method (you pair up the centres and edges first) and the parity algorithms. If you train 4x4 for speed and need a cube with magnets and extensive tension adjustment, compare it with the magnetic models in the 4x4 category, e.g. the YJ MGC series.
