List of products by manufacturer YJ

YJ, the Chinese brand YongJun (永骏), is one of the best-known manufacturers of cubes and twisty puzzles. The company is based in Guangdong province, China. It made its name in the cubing community around 2008 with the Type D cube. Since then its range has grown a lot. It includes classic cubes from 2x2 to 7x7, Megaminx, Pyraminx and Square-1, as well as shape mods such as Fisher, Axis, Mirror and Mastermorphic.

YJ cubes – what the brand is known for

YJ is best known for budget cubes that perform much better than their price suggests. A good example is the GuanLong 3x3. It was so cheap that it became a meme among cubers, and it was also a popular base for modding. Over time YJ also started making higher-end models for speedcubers, and today you can see its cubes at competitions.

Key series

• MGC – YJ's main magnetic series. It includes 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 cubes as well as a Square-1. The top model in the series is the MGC Elite V2 3x3. It has a classic screw for tension adjustment, plus elasticity and magnet strength adjustment.


• "Yu" series – budget magnetic cubes: YuPo v2 2x2, YuLong V2 M 3x3, YuSu 4x4, YuShi 6x6 M, YuFu 7x7 V2 and the YuHu Megaminx. A great fit if you want magnetic cubes in different sizes without spending a lot on each one.


• Mini and unusual cubes – e.g. ZhiLong Mini 4x4, mini bread 3x3, YJ Mirror, KingKong (Axis), YiLeng (Fisher) and Pyraminx 2x2. Perfect when you want to try something different after the classic 3x3.

Who YJ products are for

For beginners and parents, YJ is a sensible choice for a first magnetic cube. The magnets help snap the layers into place and make learning easier, and the price is low. Casual solvers can build a full set of sizes and WCA puzzles without spending much. Speedcubers should look mainly at the MGC series. Cheaper YJ models usually offer fewer adjustment options than the flagships of the most expensive brands. If precise compression or magnet strength adjustment matters to you, compare the specific versions.

YJ makes more than just cubes. Our range also includes the YJ SpeedCubing Timer and fingerboards with ramps and skateparks.
