With GAN dominating in the world class speed cubing space, brands will need to innovate further to differentiate their flagships. Whether that is through more advanced adjustable magnet or spring systems, MagLev technology or new design features.

Stickerless Plastic
Stickerless plastic refers to the use of colored plastic without any stickers. This is generally a preference of cubers as it makes it easier to see the colors in low light conditions. However, each manufacturer has a different color palette for their stickerless plastic so it’s important to always refer to product images before making your purchase.
Stickerless cubes have become extremely popular since they became WCA competition legal in 2015. They also look much better than the stickered versions as there is no worry about the stickers chipping off.
Founded in 2009 by world-class speedcuber Cameron Brown, Speedcubeshop is dedicated to providing the puzzle and speedcubing community with reliable service, fast shipping, and competitive prices. Their range of products includes cubes of all sizes, octahedral brainteasers, and accessories. They offer a 90-day return policy and are backed by a team of dedicated, knowledgeable employees. They also offer a wide range of custom options for your cube including sticker color choices and magnet placement.
Magnetic
With many of the world’s top cubers turning to magnetic puzzles, there has been a significant growth in their popularity. Magnets reduce the friction between layers and allow them to align automatically, meaning that you can spend more time solving instead of focusing on ensuring each layer is perfect.
Magnetic 3x3s such as the YJ MGC Elite V2 offer adjustable spring compression and adjustable magnets, while the MoYu WeiLong WR M 2021 offers MagLev core technology that can be adjusted to your liking with 5 different strengths. MagLev is a recent development in mass-produced speedcube hardware and it’s exciting to see MoYu and GAN using it in their flagship models.
Cameron Brown, a high school grad turned speedcuber founded SpeedCubeShop in 2009 to provide the cubing and puzzle communities with reliable service and competitive prices. Located in southwest Bakersfield, California, his company now employs 15 people who are busy shipping nearly 700 orders each day and providing top-quality products to cubers around the world.
Reconstructions
A reconstruction is a detailed textual description of the exact moves used to solve a cube from start to finish. Cubesolvers often reconstruct their solves to share them with others or to analyze their own solving methods. CubeDB is an easy-to-use tool that makes it quick and simple to reconstruct your solves and view other cubers’ reconstructions.
