The QiYi Ivy Cube V2 (Tiled / Freeplay Version) is a sleek, modernized take on the classic leaf-style puzzle. Developed in collaboration with designer Eitan, the V2 is specifically branded as the "Freeplay Version" because it removes the internal alignment mechanism (ball bearings) found in the V1. This allows the puzzle to turn with a fluid, airy feel that is significantly faster and more "unlocked" than the original. To ensure long-term durability, QiYi replaced vinyl stickers with embedded plastic tiles, providing a high-contrast look that is resistant to scratches and wear. Measuring a standard 56mm and weighing a mere 84g, this corner-turning puzzle is mechanically simple yet deeply satisfying to solve. Whether you are a beginner looking for an easy entry into shape mods or an enthusiast who wants a faster, more modern version of the Ivy Cube, the V2 Tiled is the definitive choice for smooth, worry-free puzzling.
