YJ MGC Square-1 V2 (White + Yellow) – Premium UV-Coated Magnetic Square-1
The YJ MGC Square-1 V2 is the latest evolution of one of the most popular Square-1 speedcubes ever made,
featuring a UV-coated exterior, refined design, and smooth magnetic performance. Built on the success of the
original MGC Square-1, the V2 delivers a more premium feel while maintaining the stability and control that made the series so popular.
This version comes in a white + yellow colour scheme, offering a clean, traditional Square-1 look.
With a compact size of approximately 54×56mm, it feels comfortable in the hands and is well-suited
for both speedsolving and longer practice sessions.
The addition of a UV-coated surface provides a noticeably glossier, grippier finish compared to the frosted V1,
helping to improve control during faster solves. Combined with the magnetic positioning system, this results in a
stable, precise, and consistent turning experience.

Compared to the
MGC Square-1 V1,
the V2 offers a more premium finish and slightly improved overall feel, making it a worthwhile upgrade
for many cubers.
While the core performance is similar, the improved grip and finish make the V2 especially appealing for
faster solvers and those who prefer a more polished cube.
Which Version Should You Choose?
If you're looking for the best value option, the V1 remains an excellent choice. However, if you want a
more premium feel and improved grip, the V2 is the better option and represents the latest version of the MGC Square-1.
