I was wondering earlier today what were the first cubes to achieve some milestones, such as the Guhong with torpedoes and such. After a quick search, it appears to me that the first cube to implement MagLev as the default was the MoYu Weilong WR M 2021, but I couldn’t find any authoritative source on that, so I’m just left wondering.

Is anyone aware of any earlier cubes that implemented this technology?

Also, what is your earliest bought speedcube? It’s pretty crazy to compare my Zhanchi to a WRM V9 in 2024, especially with remembering how stickered cubes were the norm back then.

    I don’t know about maglev, but when I got started, the cubes were just known by letters. I believe the first ones that I bought were Type A-3, Type C, and Type F.

      These are ancient. IIRC, they were DIY cubes? These are from even before my time lol
