X-Man Wingy Magnetic Skewb V2 — lightweight adjustable magnetic skewb with a concave grip and precise control

X-Man Wingy Magnetic Skewb V2 is the updated version of the popular Wingy Skewb from QiYi’s X-Man Design line. It retains the distinctive concave exterior of the original model while adding extensive adjustment options for magnets, spring compression and tension.

The puzzle measures approximately 56 × 56 × 56 mm and weighs about 67 g, making it considerably lighter than the original Wingy. It comes in bright stickerless plastic with a standard non-UV surface. The concave faces make the skewb easier to hold securely and help prevent it from slipping during fast solves.

This model uses a conventional spring-based mechanism. It does not have MagLev, a magnetic ball core or corner-to-core magnets. Its main advantage is the ability to independently adjust the traditional piece magnets and the mechanical core settings.

Who is X-Man Wingy Magnetic Skewb V2 for

Skill level:

• beginners who want a high-quality magnetic skewb that can be adjusted as their technique develops;
• intermediate solvers looking for a light, controllable puzzle for regular practice;
• advanced and competitive cubers who prefer a highly adjustable spring-based skewb.

Best use:

• learning and improving skewb solving techniques;
• daily speed practice and algorithm drilling;
• competition preparation and timed solves;
• experimenting with different magnet, compression and tension settings.

Design features

• Concave exterior — the Wingy’s signature recessed shape provides a more secure grip and makes the puzzle easier to control during quick finger movements.
• Adjustable magnet strength — five settings allow you to choose between a softer, less noticeable magnetic feel and a firmer, more defined click.
• Tool-free magnet adjustment — the magnetic strength can be changed directly on the puzzle without a dedicated adjustment tool.
• Five spring-compression settings — adjust the elasticity of the mechanism and choose between a softer or firmer turning response.
• Five axis-distance settings — independently adjust the core tension and the amount of movement between the pieces.
• 125 possible setup combinations — the three five-level systems provide a wide adjustment range for different turning styles.
• Lightweight construction — at approximately 67 g, the Wingy V2 feels quick and easy to move without being unnecessarily heavy.
• Stickerless non-UV exterior — coloured plastic eliminates the need for stickers, while the standard surface avoids the extra gloss and tackiness of a UV coating.

Setup and turning feel

• Light and fast turning — the reduced weight allows the puzzle to accelerate easily and respond quickly to finger movements.
• Smooth, controlled feel — the mechanism is designed to remain manageable at speed rather than feeling excessively loose or unpredictable.
• Adjustable magnetic feedback — the five magnet settings let you choose how clearly the pieces pull into their correct positions.
• Customisable balance of speed and stability — separate compression and tension settings make it possible to reduce looseness or create a freer, faster setup.
• Good handling of small misalignments — the mechanism supports quick, confident turning and reduces catching when the puzzle is properly adjusted.

Who might not like it

• cubers specifically looking for MagLev tensioning or a magnetic ball-core system;
• solvers who prefer a heavier skewb with stronger natural resistance;
• anyone who wants a glossy UV-coated surface;
• users who prefer a simple puzzle without multiple adjustment systems.
