Ferrocore V2 – MoYu WeiLong V11 3×3

Ferrocore V2 has been given a specially designed black box and immediately when you open it you are greeted by a collector’s card with CubeHead’s signature on it. The cube rests in an openable transparent box that you can use to protect and transport the cube between training and competition. The small kit with accessories contains a solution guide, manual and an adjustment tool for the adjustment system.

The adjustment system is the same as the popular and easy-to-use adjustment system used in both the MoYu WeiLong V10 and MoYu WeiLong V11. However, we are very happy to announce that the specially designed core (with a red magnetic ball core) has been reinforced with a screw, which will hopefully solve the problem of the predecessors with glass rods from the core that are at risk of breaking. However, you don’t need to worry about the screw in itself – instead first focus on the lower beige-colored ring. It has eight numbers and is adjusted by turning the included tool clockwise. This ring indicates the screw strength of the puzzle, i.e. how much room the pieces have to be pulled apart from each other. Level 3 is preset, which is in the looser region of the scale – the higher the number, the tighter the cube. This will affect, among other things, how easy or difficult it is for the cube to corner cut. If you instead turn the included tool counterclockwise, the cube’s spring strength is adjusted, i.e. how fast the cube feels when you turn it. Level 3 is also preset here, which is in the lower region of the eight levels, where a higher number indicates a cube that feels slower.

Ferrocore V2 exudes luxury right from the first turn and has a lovely soft turning feel. You are given the opportunity to choose which surface you want on the outside of the pieces, where the standard variant has a matte surface and the slightly more expensive UV variant has an added scratch-resistant and shiny varnish on the outside of the pieces. The magnetic strength is stronger than on the MoYu WeiLong V11 (regardless of variant), and given that it is not adjustable, it is something to keep in mind when choosing a cube in case you prefer more medium-strong or even weak magnets. The cube has a slightly more controllable turning feel than the V11, both in terms of the slightly more “springy” calibration of the core (higher basic level of spring strength and the use of springs instead of MagLev) and the slightly more “compact” piece-to-piece contact that the gray plastic has. The visible magnetic capsules (popularized by GAN) further contribute to the cube’s elegant look. At the absolute lowest level of detail, the cube may have a few more internal lockups than, for example, the MoYu WeiLong V10 has, but the development on all other fronts outweighs in what many simply claim is the best speedcube of 2026.
