The X-Man Tornado V4 M 3×3 is the top-of-the-line QiYi 3×3 for 2024. This puzzle is a successor to the Tornado V3 which has set many world records over the last few years. This one has a ball-core, maglev tensioning system, and extra repelling magnets in the edges. (there are two repelling and one attracting magnet on each side of every edge!) There has been an update with the magnet adjustment mechanism that allows you to adjust the magnet strength in an entire corner with just a single twist! This version comes with a beautiful UV coating that gives the puzzle a glossy finish that can aid with grip.
