Maglev Cubes: Are they worth it?

The magnets are on a pole, so they can slide around, but don't go flying, and they can be adjusted using a sort of locking system, where they can't extend over a certain length. They are used in some cubes to eliminate friction on the spring, and remove spring noise! They are a great idea, and can be amazing if implemented correctly!

Hello World!

The Start! Woah! You scrolled back to the start! This is my first post, hopefully of many! I wanted to create this blog to talk about my hobby of cubing.

I own a TikTok account, HERE , a YouTube channel, HERE , and a Spotify channel, HERE ! I cube, which this blog is mainly about, and I use a GAN12 Maglev UV . My PB is 12.08 seconds, and my average is around 28 seconds. My PB was such a lucky scramble !  I play the Piano, Guitar, Ukulele , and Melodica , and make music with my MIDI keyboard and GarageBand ! My hopes for this blog I ho...
