The MoYu Snake is a colourful snake 'puzzle', I have previously sold snakes on my website so thought it was worth getting the new MoYu Snake, instead of having a classic white and another colour approach like the QiYi, the MoYu Snake comes with 6 colours, It is also available in 5 different sizes.

The MGC Evo V2 was a decent cube that failed to gain much traction, now YJ have released a version of it which also has core magnets, it feels nice and some people may really like it but it is not really anything special as there are so many excellent speedcubes out now. Buy it here

One thing I noticed at the world championships was that all these really fast chinese kids were still using ordinary sized Gan cubes despite their hands inevitably being way smaller than most other top cubers. Gan did release a mini version of the Gan 11 M Pro so I was curious as to why they were not using that instead. I wanted to get Yiheng Wang, who currently holds the 3x3x3 average world record, to solve the DianSheng 10CM 3x3x3 and he clearly stuggled to solve it quickly.

The MoYu Super RS3M V2 series is MoYu's 3rd 3x3x3 speedcube series released in 2023, the cubes are slightly heavier and more stable than the lighter turning Weilong V9 series. Interestingly MoYu seem to have taken the decision to not put any lubricant in the cubes in the factory so lubrication service is definitely recommended for these cubes. The lack of lubricant provides the perfect example of the difference between standard and maglev turning though. Buy them here: Standard Maglev Ball-core

The QiYi QiMeng V2 is another budget 3x3x3 from QiYi, it costs only £5 and feels more like a YuXin cube than a QiYi cube. I am not sure why QiYi are releasing so many budget cubes that get little attention, I feel they may just be trying various new mechanisms to get some small community feedback.
