7x7 is my favourite WCA event and the one I am best at, I have an official 2:32 average and I have podiummed at UK Championships multiple times.

7x7s do have a lot of pieces so it is important to turn carefully and accurately, if a piece is misaligned and about to go in the wrong layer then stop turning and fix it before it gets worse.

Unfortunately, there has been very little change in 7x7 hardware in the past year so my recommendations remain the same, I am hopeful that this will change in 2025, there have been rumours recently of a Spark V2 which may come to challenge the AoFu WRM, MoYu are also probably going to be releasing a new version which will probably have multiple versions at different price points.

 

Best 7x7 overall:

 

Picube MoYu AoFu WRM: £80 The AoFu WRM is already the best 7x7 on the market and used by most top speedcubers, the addition of core magnets adds even more improvement to the cube, saving me a few seconds on my solves, if you want the absolute best then this is the 7x7 to get, it is just as fast as the ordinary AoFu WRM but with a slight increase in stability.

Best 7x7 (£40 and under):

 

MoYu AoFu WRM: £36   The MoYu AoFu WRM is a 7x7 speedcube which I can highly recommend, it is more stable than the MGC but is also very fast, it is slightly smaller than most 7x7s and has a light and fast turning which feels really nice and produces very fast times.

Best 7x7 (£30 and under):

 

YJ MGC 7x7x7: £26   The MGC 7x7 is the largest cube in YJ’s revolutionary MGC big cube series, it is fast and flexible and performs very well and is still used by some top speedcubers today.

Best 7x7 (£15 and under):

 

MeiLong 7x7 V2M: £15   The MeiLong 7x7 V2M is a surprisingly good budget 7x7, it has a design based off the AoFu WRM but has slightly cheaper plastic and less precise moulding, if you want to get your first 7x7 then this is worth considering.

While I do sell some non magnetic 7x7s that are a bit cheaper, there is no point in considering them here, if you care at all about speedcubing then I would recommend that you spend the extra few pounds to get a 7x7 that at least has some magnets.
