This was my first time every getting a speedcube and after a while of learning and effort I can say this is a great product

The YS3 is probably one of my personal favorite cubes i’ve tried out! I enjoy the blockier feel and the magnets are stronger than most. It is definitely dry and sandy out of the box, but it plays well with mods and setting up. I’d op for the ballcore personally; UV or no UV is up to preference!

great cube. 45+ corner cutting and about 30 or so reverse cutting, depending on your tension settings. classic moyu, its super easy to customize and adjust, much unlike a gan. I come from using a gan 356 air m, and trying to adjust the ges and stuff is super sensitive and finicky. the moyu is a breath of fresh air with its ease of adjustability. I love the feel. the cube feels slightly small at 55.5 mm instead of 56mm but the turns glide and the cube forgives sloppy turning for the most part. I run a combo of martian and lunar most of the time in the cube. I love it. definitely take it over the gan. the cubes performance itself gives you no excuse to be slow, its purely your skills that are lacking! would not recommend if you have particularly big hands, but its fine for me.

After a long break from cubing, I asked for a YS3M for the holidays. This cube isn't my main anymore, but it's gotten a ton of use - It's super stable with an incredibly satisfying buttery sound and feel. Despite the lack of magnet strength customization, you can drastically change the turning feel with lube combos to suit different preferences. Especially for the price, this is still one of my favorite 3x3s. Only docked one star for the lack of customization, but still a fantastic puzzle.

The best cube at this price point in my opinion has core magnets and bc and turns great out of the box even better with a little adjusting 10/10 would recomend

Great turn speed, a little blocky, great turning out of the box. Amazing packaging & instructions

Good cube with some setup. Very controllable and fast.

At first ot felt great. Once broken in it felt good. After applying lube it felt great again. Good cube.

This cube is actually a good bang for your buck. It’s fast but controllable because of the ball-core. The initial sandy feel is nice, and after lubricating it, the cube feels great.

Corner cuts easily, has smooth turning, but is too blocky for my tastes. I got the ball-core version.

Got this and it has great corner cutting and I broke new pbs instantly! Put some lube in and make it even better.

The cube is really good, but I was trying to put springs in place of the maglev, and while i was doing so the maglev magnets attracted. They were really hard to get out, and one of the magnets literally broke. You should get it, but if you're trying to do something with the maglev, make sure they dont attract.

This cube out classes many that are double the price. It is super smooth, fast and precise. This is a solid choice for first timers and veterans alike. If you are looking for your first speed cube this is well worth the extra cost over an RS3M. If you are an experienced cuber and are looking for another cube to add to you collection dont pass this one up. I give it 4 stars due to the magnets being a little on the weak side for my preference. PROS, Fast, smooth, great corner cutting, comes in matte or UV finish, priced right, best starter cube for newcomers. CONS, Magnets are not as strong as other flagship cubes, auto alignment is not as strong as other flagship cubes.

A very good cube. Nice corner cutting and smooth turning. Good magnet strength. Would recommend.

This cube is amazing in everyday possible way. I purchased the ball core magic clothed version and wow. Definitely would say it feels and solves like a really premium cube. Extremely stable but not blocky. I have seen comments like it's a rs3m 2020 clone no way not even close I ordered the 2020 rs3m ball core and the ys3m ballcore. This cube corner cuts like the wrm v9 but a 1000% more stable. No wasting energy trying to stabilize the cube. I would add the ys3m is very forgiving almost like this cube is helping you solve at a faster and at a more efficient rate. I've been cubing for 2 months was averaging 1:20 and now I'm right around sub 40. Ys3m has fast turning but not uncontrollable. I have noticed that you don't have core shifting problems or layers you don't want moving shifting on you like with the wrm v9. With the Ys3m every turn is effective and is my new main.

As my first ballcore experience, I am actually amazed by this cube. And I haven't had a crush like this since 4 or 5 years. I have about 70 cubes to this day, most of what comes out on the market is revamp or tiny upgrades. But this cube felt a like a game changer for me. It's so controllable, with medium to strong magnets, yet fast and cornercut is fine. The setup is also very easy. Frosted plastic is my thing too. My only gripe : I wish it was just lighter. It launched straight to my top 3. Though I'm not convinced with maglev tech, this ballcore thingy is something to keep an eye out for.

I bought the ball core version, and it is amazing! Corner cutting can be done easily on more than 45 degrees, while in comparison the tornado v3 is worse at that. Add some fast lube like Martian and performance is amazing! Highly recommended!

i am by no means a "good speed cuber" but i own many different cubes including gan 13 maglev. this is easily the best cube i own. the YS3 m ball core + maglev is awesome.

This cube is pretty good definitely not my main. The diameter of the cube is 55 mm, so if you have a small hands or tendinitis or arthritis in your hands like me you might want to consider getting it. It has a kind of a smooth buttery feel to it but at the same time it’s kind of noisy like a clanking sound. The corner and edge magnets are weak.

SO good... The colors are ridiculously vibrant, grip is excellent, and the action is the same as the YS3M Ball Core which is to say, butter! The larger core, mag-lev, and UV coating make this a tough combo to beat. On par (or better depending on your preferences) to the Tornado v3 Pioneer edition. GAN should be worried...
