Product Description
QiYi 8×8 M (Magnetic + Ball-Core) – The Ultimate High-Performance 8×8
The QiYi 8×8 M represents a huge leap forward in big cube design, combining magnetic positioning with an advanced ball-core system to deliver one of the most stable, controllable, and enjoyable 8×8 solving experiences currently available.
Unlike older 8×8 designs, this is not simply a scaled-up cube — QiYi has completely reworked the internal mechanism to create a puzzle that feels fast, precise, and incredibly stable, even during high-level solves. For many cubers, this is the first 8×8 that genuinely feels closer to solving a 7×7 rather than a bulky big cube.
At just 64.5mm, the QiYi 8×8 M is one of the smallest 8×8 cubes ever produced, making it significantly more comfortable to hold and far less fatiguing during long solves. This compact size, combined with strong magnetic alignment, allows for faster turning and more efficient regrips throughout your solve.
Key Features
- Magnetic + Ball-Core system – enhanced stability, improved alignment, and smoother turning
- Ultra-compact 64.5mm size – smaller than many 7×7 cubes for maximum comfort
- Fast, controllable turning – ideal for both speedsolving and long sessions
- Reduced lockups – improved internal design keeps layers aligned even at higher speeds
- Durable construction – built to handle frequent use and high TPS solving
Why Choose the QiYi 8×8 M?
If you're looking for the best 8×8 cube currently available, the QiYi 8×8 M is an easy recommendation. It offers a level of performance and usability that older magnetic 8×8s simply cannot match, particularly when it comes to size, stability, and overall solving feel.
Compared to the DianSheng 8×8 M, the QiYi is smaller, faster, and more refined. It also outperforms budget magnetic options like the MeiLong 8×8 V3M in terms of raw speed and premium feel.
For most cubers, this is the go-to choice for serious 8×8 solving, whether you're aiming to improve your times or simply want a more enjoyable big cube experience.
Looking for a Budget Option?
If you’re just getting started with 8×8 solving or prefer a lower-cost option, the QiYi 8×8 (Non-Magnetic) offers a more affordable introduction while still maintaining good durability and ease of use.

Returns Policy
Returns
If the item is faulty:
If you find a fault with the product within 30 days that significantly restricts your ability to use it you may request to return it for fixing or a replacement if fixing is not possible. Once you have provided reasonable evidence that the product is faulty and cannot easily be fixed then you can return it to 90 Culley Court, Peterborough, PE2 6WA
I will then attempt to fix it myself, usually I will be able to easily fix it and can then send it back to you quickly, if I am unable to fix it then I can offer a replacement of the product or a refund or similar product if the item is no longer in stock.
Please note that if a cube pops, this is not a reasonable justification for a return, all good cubes have the potential to pop occasionally, if it happens frequently you should consider tightening the tensions or turning more smoothly. Learning to fix popped cubes is an important part of your growth and development as a cuber, it is a very useful skill to develop, I have some tutorials on fixing pops on my youtube channel and there are obviously many more online.
