The Weilong GTS was the first cube to use "modular tensions" in their springs, with one light, and one heavy part. However, due to basic physics and Hooke's law, springs will always apply linear force, and the tensions are not truly modular.
However, basic physics also tells us that unlike the linear force of springs, magnets are inversely squared proportional to distance.
This means when you're turning accurately, the tension will be lower, so the cube is FASTER, but when you start to mess up a turn and flex the cube, the tension is higher, so the cube is MORE STABLE.
Downside? It's heavy.
I'm working on making it better for you, so we can have BETTER CUBES WOW
What a time to be alive.
