DaYan Megaminx Pro+ Magnetic

DaYan Megaminx Pro+ Magnetic

The Pro+ is an upgrade of the DaYan Megaminx Pro, the megaminx in which DaYan introduced a magnetic core. The original Pro was praised for its stability and auto-alignment, but users complained about its limited adjustment options. The DaYan Megaminx Pro+ Magnetic fixes exactly that: it has a numerical adjustment system and adjustable core magnet strength. This is the standard spring version (no MagLev) in stickerless bright colors.

How it turns

Reviewers describe the turning as controlled and stable. The magnets clearly snap the layers into place. On a megaminx, where twelve faces make imprecise moves easy, this helps you avoid lockups. Corner cutting is about 45°, and reverse corner cutting is about 25°. The feel is more tactile than super smooth. Some see this as an advantage, because you can clearly feel every move under your fingers. Others prefer softer puzzles and may need a moment to get used to it. According to reviews, it's worth spending some time setting up the tension after taking it out of the box.

Ball-Core and adjustment

• Ball-Core, meaning magnets between the corners and the core. They help align the layers and keep the puzzle stable during fast turning.
• Adjustable core magnet strength. You get 5 settings, so you can decide how strongly the puzzle snaps moves into place on its own.
• Numerical adjustment system with 8 tension levels and 6 center travel (compression) levels. The settings are marked with numbers, so it's easy to set all faces the same way and return to that setup later.
• 160 magnets in the whole puzzle.

Magnetic or MagLev?

The Pro+ is also available in a MagLev version. There, the springs are replaced with repelling magnets, and the total number of magnets goes up to 220. The MagLev turns more lightly and with less friction. The spring version has a more classic feel and is slightly lighter. It's a good choice if you prefer predictable, calmer puzzle behavior.

Who is it for?

For people who solve the megaminx regularly and want to tune the puzzle to their style. Thanks to its stability and core magnets, it also works well as a first serious megaminx for someone moving up from a basic model. If you only solve the megaminx occasionally, a simpler model without extensive adjustment will be enough.
