A timer that can survive being thrown off a cliff? The aim of the QiYi Timer is to produce a far more reliable timer and they have done pretty well at this, we have tested it pretty near the limits and so far it still works fine.

QiYi have released a series of new budget magnetic cubes which are meant to have the performance of high-end premium cubes with a budget price, from pre-release reviews, they seem promising.

Before this clock was released, people would pay a lot of money to get the clock pins magnetized and a lingao clock set-up well, now this clock comes not just with magnetic pins but magnetic gears too. It is used almost universally amongst all top cubers so is highly recommended for anyone who wants to compete in clock.

The QiYi Warrior S is the new and updated version of the QiYi Warrior line, when the QiYi Warrior W was first released it was the best budget 3x3x3, the warrior S is very tight out of the box so may require some loosening of the tensions for good corner cutting, it is slightly heavier and slightly slower than the Meilong but also more stable, it is a good competitor for the title of best budget cube despite its rather blocky feel.

The Tornado V3M is QiYi's 2022 flagship 3x3x3 speedcube, they have improved on the previous version and significantly increased the corner cutting ability and the cube has a more polished exterior, it is faster than the previous version without compromising too much on stability. This cube was used by Max Park in his 3.13 3x3x3 world record single.

The Tornado V3 comes in the following 3 versions:

Standard: purely standard corner-edge magnets

Flagship (this version): has a magnetic core which connects to the corners allowing a stronger and more uniform magnetic feel.

Pioneer: Features the same magnetic core as the flagship version but also has Maglev tensioning instead of the standard springs, maglev allows the cube to be faster if required as it eliminates friction in the spring.

QiYi have released a series of new budget magnetic cubes which are meant to have the performance of high-end premium cubes with a budget price, it is a very smooth 2x2x2 and also pretty stable, has some sort of hollow smooth feeling making it a great choice for those looking to get into 2x2x2s.

This is an extremely good 3x3 and for under £10 this 3x3 from qiyi is fast, blocky and has strong magnets. This great 3x3 is a good start for any speedcuber and could be enjoyable for more advanced solvers. The fast speed and strong magnets mean it is great for OH as well as 3x3.

The QiYi 9x9x9 is a compact and durable budget speedcube, measuring 76mm with a frosted exterior for enhanced grip and control. As QiYi's first entry into the 9x9 market, this puzzle delivers a turning feel similar to the popular QiYi QiXing S2, making it familiar and comfortable for experienced solvers.

Key Features:

• 76mm compact size - smaller and more manageable than most 9x9s
• Frosted exterior finish for superior grip
• Widely regarded as the most robust and durable of the budget non-magnetic 9x9s
• Smooth, reliable turning mechanism
• Excellent value for beginners and casual solvers

Looking for enhanced performance? The QiYi Magnetic 9x9 offers significantly improved stability and speed with magnetic positioning.

The Ivy Cube is a simple but interesting skewb shape mod designed by Yukang Wu and QiYi in a collaboration with Eitan, it is a corner turning variation of the skewb puzzle.

This version features a UV coated exterior to reduce scratching and improve grip.

The QiXing S2 is a non-magnetic budget 7x7x7, tensions are tight out of the box but once loosened it is probably the best non-magnetic budget 7x7x7 out there.

The QiYi M bag is a QiYi branded bag which can hold a few cubes in a medium sized case.

The Tornado V2 is QiYi's 2021 release, it features changeable magnet strengths and various centre adjustment features, it should hopefully perform very well.

The QiYi M Pro 2x2 is the successor to the QiYi MS which has been one of the most popular budget magnetic 2x2 speedcubes for a few years. It does not feel quite as smooth as the original QiYi MS but feels a bit faster, this version also features a ball core which adds extra stability without compromising on the speed.

The QiYi 2x2x2 mirror cube is the 2x2x2 version of the mirror cube, all the stickers are the same colour (in this case silver) but the pieces are shaped differently so you differentiate them by size, this way you can even do it blindfolded without looking at it beforehand!

The QiYi QiDi S2 is an update to QiYi's budget 2x2x2 line, it is a non-magnetic budget 2x2x2 that is pretty smooth and reasonably fast.

The QiYi MS 5x5x5 is a great budget 5x5x5, it has a slightly blocky but stable feel while still maintaining a good speed.

The QiYi 3x3x3 Axis Cube is a shape-mod from QiYi, the cube is similar to the mastermorphix and the solution is essentially the same as the 3x3x3 but can be rather confusing as the cross edges and F2L pieces don't seem to be the same.

The QiFan S2 is a budget non-magnetic 6x6x6 that seems to perform decently for a non-magnetic budget 6x6x6, however it most certainly does not stack up against budget magnetic 6x6x6s. I would recommend loosening the tensions slightly before using.
