The Skewb is another popular and fast puzzle to solve, it first became a WCA event in 2013 and has remained popular ever since, the puzzle is a skewb but turns on a different axis, in some ways it can be seen as a shape modification of the pyraminx. Skewb hardware has not changed much in the past year so my recommendations remain very similar.
Best Skewb overall:
|
Gan Skewb Enhanced UV Coated: £28 The Gan Skewb Enhanced UV coated is probably the most popular skewb among top solvers, it is designed to be fast and smooth and has magnets between the corners and edges and the corners and the core |
|
Best Skewb (£20 and under):
|
Gan Skewb Standard: £17 The Gan Skewb standard is a cheaper version of the Gan Skewb, it features only corner-core magnets so is not quite as stable.
|
|
Best Skewb (£10 and under):
|
MoYu RS Skewb: £9
The MoYu RS Skewb is a cheaper version of the WeiLong Skewb, it performs very well but feels a bit cheaper, there is also a maglev version too.
|
|
Best for under £6:
|
The MoYu MeiLong Skewb is probably still the best ultra-budget skewb, it has a clicking mechanism that makes it feel slightly magnetic.

Highly commended:
