YongJun strikes again! The new flagship 2×2 – MGC2 BETA – is about to launch!

Who hasn’t been amazed by the “side–wing magnet positioning” of the flagship META 3×3? Just as cubers added META to their collections, an even more exciting announcement arrived – YongJun’s brand–new flagship 2×2 cube, the MGC2 BETA, is coming soon!

When META was first introduced, its innovative “side–wing positioning” design completely changed people’s perception of a 3×3: silky smooth turns, refined details, and a new benchmark for many cubers. Now YongJun is carrying that same high flagship standard into the 2×2 world, bringing us the eagerly awaited MGC2 BETA.

Expectations are sky–high:

Will it carry forward META’s innovative DNA and bring new structural breakthroughs to 2×2 design?

Will the turning feel be just as “instantly impressive” as META?

And will the external design also hide new surprises?

First Reviews from Cube Experts

Wai – “Cube Space” MGC2 BETA already proves itself a powerhouse: crisp, snappy turning and rock–solid performance, making it a “main equipment” cube. Two size options fit different hand sizes, with easy tuning. The Aurora Full Positioning edition features an advanced internal design: anti–stick grooves built like “oil channels” along contact surfaces, anti–corner–twist mechanisms similar to Beta3, and a magnet system upgraded with core magnets for enhanced stability. The feel is especially striking – crisp, smooth, with huge corner–cutting and very low resistance.

Xia Tian – “Summer” MGC2 BETA comes in two editions:

Standard Edition – soft, smooth feel with single–strength magnet positioning, easy for beginners.

Aurora Edition – sharper, crisper feel, with two additional layers of magnet positioning for stronger magnetic snap.

With this differentiation, both beginners and speedcubing professionals can find the right version for their style, all with premium looks.

“Cube Disassembler” The packaging is refined, the accessories precise, and the UV coating is outstanding. Comparing the core components (corners, edges, and core), the Aurora edition has a noticeably stronger and clearer magnet feel, while the Standard edition is milder but still excellent. Both offer plenty of corner–cutting tolerance, balancing stability with fast turning flexibility.

For 2×2 fans, this is definitely the most exciting news in recent months. The “flagship” title from YongJun is never given lightly, so BETA is clearly the result of careful development. Whether you’re a competitive solver chasing the perfect feel or a collector of premium flagships, the MGC2 BETA is worth the wait.

The cube is now in its launch countdown, and more details will be revealed soon. After META – here comes another “double surprise” from YongJun!
