Your speedcubes stability will dictate how flexible is it, does it deform and most importantly its pop up resistance. Now some people would definitely place this cube on the number one spot. It really depends on what you like. The 2x2 cube is a twisty puzzle with a cube shape that has 3 axes. Each axis has only 1 cut along it, giving rise to just two layers, and making the 2x2 a very simple puzzle to look at. It has just 8 corner pieces, with no centre pieces and no edge pieces. History If you are looking for something cheaper but with excellent performance then I believe that this one will be your choice. The first ever 2x2 world record single was set by Gunnar Krig in November 2004, with a time of 10.87. Since then, with the developments in solving methods, to a point where people were solving the entire cube with one algorithm almost every time, the current world record single is now a mind-blowing 0.49 seconds! It was achieved by Maciej Czapiewski from Poland in 2016. Best 2x2 Cubes

So yeah it takes a bit of work to get it right with this one but for the money, it can’t be beaten. However, it is on very rare occasions that it will throw you off balance and break your algorithm execution. 7. The DaYan 2×2 The YJ YuPo 2×2 is a magnetic cube that has pretty strong magnets that give you pretty good control but with a side of clunkiness. Not something everyone will like. If you are a beginner you won’t even notice this, however.The DaYan is widely appreciated in the speedcubing community and for a good reason. This speedcube offers blazing fast speeds, followed by proper control and amazing corner and reverse corner cutting. When it comes to performance it is very similar to the DaYan if not even better but this is rather a subjective thing. The corner twists are a problem again. They happen and especially if you are speed solving without paying much attention. Sure you can tension the cube but you will need to apply a lot of tensioning and then you will reduce the corner cutting ability which is very good but without tensioning. The YJ MGC is the best value 2×2 speed cube. You will squeeze every cent of value out of this cube. It is not expensive but it is on par with the quality cubes like the MoYu WeiPo if not better and it also comes close to the above mentioned YJ Elite.

Depending on what you are used to from other speedcubes and your hand’s size you should decide on the size of your 2×2.

If you are still not sure which 2×2 is best for you then think about your experiences with other speedcubes if you have any and then try to decide which of these could work. And using those stiff, old 2×2 rubik’s cubes is very frustrating. It even hurts to watch someone do it, not to mention doing it yourself. While the quality smooth turning 2×2 speed cube will give you great control with the smallest loss of speed as possible. Corner Cutting
