You shouldn’t really experience popups with modern 2×2 speedcubes but if you are a very rough speed cuber than you may experience a case here and there. Secondary characteristics:
This is one of the best budget 2×2 rubik’s cubes that you can buy today. It is cheap, magnetic and overall pretty good. 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.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
In most cases, you will look for a good ratio of speed and smoothness. In the 2×2 case, it is usually better to go with more speed because they are harder to mess up and more fun to speed solve. When it comes to performance it is very similar to the DaYan if not even better but this is rather a subjective thing. If you are looking for something cheaper but with excellent performance then I believe that this one will be your choice. These characteristics will influence your cubing experience but on a smaller scale when compared to the ones above. However, you should still read about them and understand them. Size 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.

This 2×2 cube has a unique magnet positioning inside the cube that gives you a really special feel when turning. But it is not about the feel as much as is about the good control to speed ratio. And this one is definitely controllable when speedsolving.
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 released their Elite line of cubes recently and the 2×2 format did really well (well, all of them did). 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.
Don’t get it confused with the elite version. They are not the same. This 2×2 cube was released in 2018 as the first 2×2 from YJ while the Elite 2×2 is a part of the Elite series by YJ that was released in 2020. The 2×2 cubes are the smallest there are when it comes to layers count but they range in their dimensions and the typical sizes are 55mm, 50mm and 46mm sizes. (3×3 Speedcubes range from 57mm to 42mm). Corner cutting is the cubes ability to make a turn even if the vertical face is not completely aligned and it is going to make or break your experience with 2×2 speedcubes. 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.
You definitely don’t want your 2×2 rubik’s cube to have poor corner cutting because the individual cubies on 2×2 are quite big when compared to 3×3 for an example. This means that if the cube doesn’t have good corner cutting it will need more precision to make an unaligned turn because the surface area between the two cubies that need to align is bigger.Moyu WeiPo is going to give you great speeds with a smooth touch providing you with enough control. But the thing that other cubers and I love the most is its unparalleled corner cutting. The WeiPo will easily corner cut even when going above 45 degrees with the top layer. 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. This is definitely one of the best 2×2 cubes ever made and this is further proven by being the 2×2 used by a lot of speed cubers today. But keep in mind that this is an old cube. Something like an oldtimer. Still very good and righteously sits among the best but all of the above are better than it by today’s standards. In the end, you have to decide what kind of 2×2 cube you will like. The one with more speed or the one with a more smooth and controlled experience. 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
