Product Information

The YJ YuPo 2×2 is a magnetic cube that has pretty strong magnets that give you pretty good control but with a side of clunkiness. Not something everyone will like. If you are a beginner you won’t even notice this, however. When it comes to performance it is very similar to the DaYan if not even better but this is rather a subjective thing. These characteristics will influence your cubing experience but on a smaller scale when compared to the ones above. However, you should still read about them and understand them. Size When it comes to popping this one takes a fall because it is known to happen. Not very often and definitely depending on how rough you are but pops can happen. Are you also looking for 3×3 speed cubes? If you are looking for something cheaper but with excellent performance then I believe that this one will be your choice.

While the quality smooth turning 2×2 speed cube will give you great control with the smallest loss of speed as possible. Corner Cutting The first ever 2x2 world record single was set by Gunnar Krig in November 2004, with a time of 10.87. Since then, with the developments in solving methods, to a point where people were solving the entire cube with one algorithm almost every time, the current world record single is now a mind-blowing 0.49 seconds! It was achieved by Maciej Czapiewski from Poland in 2016. Best 2x2 Cubes This is one of the best budget 2×2 rubik’s cubes that you can buy today. It is cheap, magnetic and overall pretty good. The corner twists are a problem again. They happen and especially if you are speed solving without paying much attention. Sure you can tension the cube but you will need to apply a lot of tensioning and then you will reduce the corner cutting ability which is very good but without tensioning.Now some people would definitely place this cube on the number one spot. It really depends on what you like. So yeah it takes a bit of work to get it right with this one but for the money, it can’t be beaten. However, it is on very rare occasions that it will throw you off balance and break your algorithm execution. 7. The DaYan 2×2 Moyu WeiPo is going to give you great speeds with a smooth touch providing you with enough control. But the thing that other cubers and I love the most is its unparalleled corner cutting. The WeiPo will easily corner cut even when going above 45 degrees with the top layer. Don’t get it confused with the elite version. They are not the same. This 2×2 cube was released in 2018 as the first 2×2 from YJ while the Elite 2×2 is a part of the Elite series by YJ that was released in 2020. This 2×2 cube has a unique magnet positioning inside the cube that gives you a really special feel when turning. But it is not about the feel as much as is about the good control to speed ratio. And this one is definitely controllable when speedsolving.

Corner cutting is the cubes ability to make a turn even if the vertical face is not completely aligned and it is going to make or break your experience with 2×2 speedcubes. These characteristics will have the largest impact on your cubing experience with 2×2 cubes. If you are an experienced cuber, then you probably know these as they are similar to those on 3×3 speed cubes. The DaYan is widely appreciated in the speedcubing community and for a good reason. This speedcube offers blazing fast speeds, followed by proper control and amazing corner and reverse corner cutting.The YJ released their Elite line of cubes recently and the 2×2 format did really well (well, all of them did). In most cases, you will look for a good ratio of speed and smoothness. In the 2×2 case, it is usually better to go with more speed because they are harder to mess up and more fun to speed solve. Depending on what you are used to from other speedcubes and your hand’s size you should decide on the size of your 2×2. Not without its faults but I think that you wont’t find a better price to quality ratio 2×2 cube out there. This is a fairly new 2×2 speedcube from YJ and it is the best budget 2×2 cube I have ever used.

If you are still not sure which 2×2 is best for you then think about your experiences with other speedcubes if you have any and then try to decide which of these could work.The 2×2 cubes below are currently the best on the market and any of them will be a great choice but you should read about them and see which one fits you the most.
