I really miss the concave centers of the Aoyan... I don't think i could get used to a flat skewb anymore. The x-man, maybe, since I already own the V1. The Aoyan in general was just so nice and sturdy and i lack a good bit of control on those newer Skewbs.
Thank you so much for making this! I’ve been hoping to hear more opinions on the new WeiLong AND hear more about how it compares to other skewbs, and this did both amazingly well! Good job with the video editing and with the thoughtful organization of content. I will definitely recommend this video to anyone deciding on a new skewb to buy!
How do you lube your RS? I found that when adding any sort of silicone (lubicle speedy, weight 5) it just slows down until you can barely turn. Thus I only put water based lubes in it(dnm). Do you run into this problem a lot?@@MagmaCubing
@@Square-one123The RS Skewb while good is naturally slow. The only way I was able to combat this is add weight 2 to the springs, and mystic on the pieces. Hope this helps
this is a very good video and its nice to finally see a newer comparison for skewbes as im getting into it im thinking of getting the gan or meilong as i already have the wingy v2 and v1 sadly i cant find the rs anywherre
Hey Wolfie here! We met at the becubed summer 2022. And after seeing this video and u letting me try a couple of them and careful consideration (And having a tight budget) I have decided I will be saving up and purchasing the moyu rs skewb m. Oh yes and thank u so much for making this video as always спасибо (thank you ina Russian and Ukrainian)
Hi Magma Cubing! I currently own a Moyu RS Skewb (non-maglev) I average just about sub 8 (high 7) with Sarah's Intermediate and I was hoping to be faster ( hopefully sub 4 or even Low 3 someday :) ) 1) I wanted to know about your RS Skewb setup. I set my RS with: Dnm-37 (Fast Lube) on the pieces Spring Tension on default/loosest Screw Tightness at default Note: I realised that even a drop of Silk (Slow Lube) would make the puzzle horrible as the skewb is not too fast 2) Is it just me or does your Rs Skewb's Spring Tensions keep on changing itself, maybe its because of the compression being at loosest/default? 3) Lastly any tips to get faster at Skewb?
Hey Charu, 1.) I have My RS at the second spring compression with weight 5 on the springs and Mystic and DNM-37 on the pieces. This gives the cube a bit more stability while making if a bit faster and more effortless to turn. 2.) I personally have not experienced this issue so Idk how to help with that. 3.) To get faster I would say be color neutral, plan inspection and work on fingertricks. You can easily become sub 6 with those implemented in your solves if you know Sarah’s Intermediate. I also have some skewb walkthrough solves if you want a look into how I solve the skewb Hope this helps
Hey. I wanted to get a skewb. But i dont know which one. ım deciding between the Moyu Rs Maglev or The Meilong Maglev. I have Never Solved i Skewb Before and i Wanne Get into the Event. Which One Should i Buy?
The RS Skewb is probably good to start out on. The Weilong and GAN only are noticeably better in more advanced solving conditions. However I do recommend setting up the RS Skewb for the best performance. Hope this helps!
"I ask you to share and like this video, if you enjoyed it, if not, I don't care!" Odd way to ask for a share and a like only to follow up with the "fuck you" attitude. I still liked the video because it was a good video.
Yes I did, Reason being is that reverse cuts is the most influential during solves. If you are wondering all the Skewbs corner cut really well. However I didn’t test that as the reverse cuts are more prevalent during execution. Hope this helps!
But what should i get for my first one? I'm thinking about getting the RS Skewb for my first skewb, do you think it's a good choice? If you don't, then which one should I get, thank you for reading
Yes, the RS is the best beginner skewb. The other options are for pros or intermediate solvers. You could still get those puzzles and do good, but the RS is the best for beginners especially at the price
Yes the RS is better. I never owned a Cyclone Boys skewb but have tried many. It is an older model so it is a bit locky and clunky in feeling. The RS is newer and also has the dual adjustment system
If you are experienced with skewb and average around sub 10 the Gan or MoYu maglev are great options. Both offer customizations and offer different feels that are both satisfying for the event. If you are on a budget, get the RS. The Wingy v2 I would not recommend. However, if you are not into the event, an older magnetic skewb would be just fine.
I would say between the 2 go with the GAN Skewb just because of the Wingy’s popping issue. Just know it won’t be nearly as stable or controllible as the Enhanced. But if it is in stock get the Weilong Skewb or GAN Enhanced for the best experience overall
I would say stick with the wingy, if you do not experience pops or issues with stability the Wingy is fine, however if your Wingy does have issues I do recommended the Weilong.
The only cube on this list with significant frosted plastic is the MoYu Skewb, however MoYu’s Frosted Plastic breaks in very quickly compared to others so I would say it offers as good if not better grip than the others. Other than that it doesn’t effect performance
@@MagmaCubing Actually I found that the gan frosted plastic to be very slippery and hard to grip for me on my gan enhanced skewb (I also have a gan enhanced frosted pyraminx but I found it to be very grippy even with same kind of plastic), even harder to grip than my broken in rs maglev. I'm struggling if I should I get a UV Coated GAN Enhanced? Actually I have already ordered a weilong skewb with professional setup last week. How do you think? Are there anything I can do with my GAN enhanced or should I just order a UV Coated GAN Enhanced? Will the weilong suit me?
The Weilong is a fine Skewb and should work well. For the GAN Enhanced breaking in the plastic is the only thing you can do. I have the older batches of the GAN Enhanced which came with glossy plastic. If the Weilong doesn’t suit you for whatever reason, the UV coated is fine if you want a GAN with glossy plastic. However both the GAN Enhanced and Weilong are my picks for the best Skewb.
I really miss the concave centers of the Aoyan... I don't think i could get used to a flat skewb anymore. The x-man, maybe, since I already own the V1. The Aoyan in general was just so nice and sturdy and i lack a good bit of control on those newer Skewbs.
My wingy v1 popped about once in every 5 solves. My Gan enhanced skewb hasn't popped even once in over 1000 solves. I will destroy the wingy...
My Wingy V1 pops 0-2 times per Ao5
Mine rarely pops, after some setup.
Thank you so much for making this! I’ve been hoping to hear more opinions on the new WeiLong AND hear more about how it compares to other skewbs, and this did both amazingly well!

i wish i cared more about skewb so i could fully appreciate how important this video is
despite that, great video man
Great video! Very informative
thank you for your review, it really helps and I really like your opions
I had money to buy one of them. thank you for this video to let me choose the correct one.
so helpful man. thanks so much!
Your welcome
under- underrated you get a new sub
I wish i found this before i bought 5 skewbs lol. Great vid.
Remember the days when we debated if the Moyu Aoyan or the Xman Wingy were the better one?
Yes those were the days. I always preferred the AoYan
@@MagmaCubing And so did I, it id still my main skewb as I am not really interested in skewb atm
Hi Magma Cubing!
I currently own a Moyu RS Skewb (non-maglev)
I average just about sub 8 (high 7) with Sarah's Intermediate and I was hoping to be faster ( hopefully sub 4 or even Low 3 someday :) )
1) I wanted to know about your RS Skewb setup.
I set my RS with:
Dnm-37 (Fast Lube) on the pieces
Spring Tension on default/loosest
Screw Tightness at default
Note: I realised that even a drop of Silk (Slow Lube) would make the puzzle horrible as the skewb is not too fast
2) Is it just me or does your Rs Skewb's Spring Tensions keep on changing itself, maybe its because of the compression being at loosest/default?
3) Lastly any tips to get faster at Skewb?
Hey Charu,
1.) I have My RS at the second spring compression with weight 5 on the springs and Mystic and DNM-37 on the pieces. This gives the cube a bit more stability while making if a bit faster and more effortless to turn.

3.) To get faster I would say be color neutral, plan inspection and work on fingertricks. You can easily become sub 6 with those implemented in your solves if you know Sarah’s Intermediate. I also have some skewb walkthrough solves if you want a look into how I solve the skewb
Hope this helps
@@MagmaCubing Thanks!
I was thinking of getting mystic too
I tried adding about half a drop of silk and 4 more drops of DNM-37 and it helped!
If you switch out the maglev by springs, the catching issue will be gone
It may, but the catching only happens every so often, and I think the speed the maglev gives the cube is what the skewb needs.
"Please, like and share, if don't, then I don´t care" LOL
Nice video! Do you main skewb?
Yes, it’s my favorite event. I average low 4 mid 3 on a good day.
Have you tried the picube weilong skewb with core magnets?
Hey. I wanted to get a skewb. But i dont know which one. ım deciding between the Moyu Rs Maglev or The Meilong Maglev. I have Never Solved i Skewb Before and i Wanne Get into the Event. Which One Should i Buy?
The RS Skewb is probably good to start out on. The Weilong and GAN only are noticeably better in more advanced solving conditions. However I do recommend setting up the RS Skewb for the best performance. Hope this helps!
@@MagmaCubing Ok Thanks!
Better skewb community????
Great video🙂
Thank you, more skewb content coming your way
Gan enhanced vs maglev
"I ask you to share and like this video, if you enjoyed it, if not, I don't care!"
Odd way to ask for a share and a like only to follow up with the "fuck you" attitude.
I still liked the video because it was a good video.
hey man, you only tested reverse corner cutting.
Yes I did, Reason being is that reverse cuts is the most influential during solves. If you are wondering all the Skewbs corner cut really well. However I didn’t test that as the reverse cuts are more prevalent during execution. Hope this helps!
@@MagmaCubing ok. thank's man.
Yyoo. Im inside right now so the roof is up. If im outside the sky will be up lol
Bro are u high
but what if I'm addicted to skewb and I WANT to buy every skewb
Then you be like me and drain your bank account . :)
@@MagmaCubing will do.
But what should i get for my first one? I'm thinking about getting the RS Skewb for my first skewb, do you think it's a good choice? If you don't, then which one should I get, thank you for reading
Yes, the RS is the best beginner skewb. The other options are for pros or intermediate solvers. You could still get those puzzles and do good, but the RS is the best for beginners especially at the price
@@MagmaCubing Thank you, new sub! :D Also another question, does the RS Skewb have spring noise like other MoYu puzzles?
damn life saver
is the rs better than cyclone boys one? have you tested it yet?
Yes the RS is better. I never owned a Cyclone Boys skewb but have tried many. It is an older model so it is a bit locky and clunky in feeling. The RS is newer and also has the dual adjustment system
Good video. Not a skewb guy though 😭
Which skewb is best ? Gan standard or wingy v2 ?
Neither tbh. I would say get the RS if you are on a budget or get the Weilong or GAN Enhanced if you want a flagship experience
Which skewb would you recommend for someone who don't know his preference
If you are experienced with skewb and average around sub 10 the Gan or MoYu maglev are great options. Both offer customizations and offer different feels that are both satisfying for the event. If you are on a budget, get the RS. The Wingy v2 I would not recommend. However, if you are not into the event, an older magnetic skewb would be just fine.
@@MagmaCubing thnx but what skewb should I get when I don't know my preference aoyan or wingyv1
If it’s between those cubes then the AoYan. However those are older models so I would invest in one of the ones above as they are more modern :)
Hey, i own the weilong skwb, but i really cant get the centercaps off. How would i be able to take them off to adjust the tensions?
its adjusted not on center cups but on corners
@@winnter5141 yeah i know
@@winnter5141 just cant get them off
Excuse me do you prefer moyu weilong maglev or gan skewb m standard?
MoYu Weilong Maglev
@@MagmaCubing thank you
what should i go for xman wingy v2 or the gan skewb the normal one theese are the only 2 available
I would say between the 2 go with the GAN Skewb just because of the Wingy’s popping issue. Just know it won’t be nearly as stable or controllible as the Enhanced. But if it is in stock get the Weilong Skewb or GAN Enhanced for the best experience overall
can you put the aoyan concave caps on the maglev weilong?
No you can not. However concave skewbs don’t necessarily improve grip.
I avarage 10 seconds and I have wingy v2 but the moyu weilong maglev is on 60% discount. Should I buy it or stay with wingy?
I would say stick with the wingy, if you do not experience pops or issues with stability the Wingy is fine, however if your Wingy does have issues I do recommended the Weilong.
Did you experience some pops and issues? I want to know :)
nice vid
what timer are u using
Gen5 Timer
hi thank you so much
Does the frosted plastic make any impacts on solves?
The only cube on this list with significant frosted plastic is the MoYu Skewb, however MoYu’s Frosted Plastic breaks in very quickly compared to others so I would say it offers as good if not better grip than the others. Other than that it doesn’t effect performance
@@MagmaCubing what about the rs skewb?
Same for the RS Skewb
@@MagmaCubing Actually I found that the gan frosted plastic to be very slippery and hard to grip for me on my gan enhanced skewb (I also have a gan enhanced frosted pyraminx but I found it to be very grippy even with same kind of plastic), even harder to grip than my broken in rs maglev.

you ve bought everything???????? but i want too..xxaxaxa
Is the Rs Maglev worth it over the regular?
No, the Maglev makes the cube much more unstable
@@MagmaCubing 👍
