Meilong Maple Leaves Skewb — skewb and curvy-copter idea in one cube

MeiLong Maple Leaves Skewb is an unusual skewb shape mod from the MoYu/MFJS line. It can be scrambled like a regular Skewb, but after a partial turn it unlocks an extra movement axis similar to Curvy Copter logic; size is about 57 mm and weight about 93–94 g.

Who this skewb is for

• For people who know Skewb and want a more complex form.
• For fans of Curvy Copter and jumbling mechanics.
• For collectors of MeiLong shape-mod models.
• For beginners, a regular Skewb is easier.

Turning feel

• As a regular Skewb, it feels fairly familiar.
• Extra moves change the shape and increase difficulty.
• Without magnets, alignment depends on your hands.

Magnets and mechanism

• No magnets.
• A skewb base is combined with extra leaf/curvy moves.
• A partial turn opens another movement axis.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: about 56.5–57 mm.
• Weight: about 93–94 g without packaging.
• Gross weight: about 103–104 g.
• Surface: stickerless plastic.

Main advantages

• Two levels of challenge: basic skewb and extra leaf moves.
• Unusual and attractive design.
• Good spatial-attention practice.
• Interesting collectible model.

Things to keep in mind

• No magnets.
• The jumbling part can be confusing.
• Not for fast WCA Skewb solving.

How to use

Start as with a regular Skewb. Once you understand the base, try partial turns that unlock extra movement.
