DianSheng Solar 7x7x7

DianSheng Solar 7x7x7 is a non-magnetic 7x7 cube from the Solar series. In this series, DianSheng released budget cubes from 2x2 to 7x7, each available with and without magnets. At 67 mm, it is a bit smaller than many 7x7s and easier to hold in your hands. The plastic is stickerless in the bright colour scheme, so there are no stickers that could wear off or peel.

How it solves without magnets

A 7x7 without magnets doesn't align the layers for you. You have to turn each layer all the way before starting the next move. If a layer is left slightly misaligned, catching on the inner pieces happens easily, and with so many layers this occurs more often on a 7x7 than on small cubes. Fast turning is possible, but you need to turn precisely. This is exactly why many cubers switch to the magnetic version after their first non-magnetic Solar set.

In return, you get light, free turning with no magnetic resistance and no "click". If you want a 7x7 for relaxed solving rather than chasing times, you may like this feel.

Solar 7x7 or Diansheng 7x7 M?

We offer both versions of this 7x7. The M model has magnets that help align the layers. This makes the cube more stable and predictable during faster solving. The non-magnetic Solar version is cheaper and simpler. It makes sense as a first 7x7 for learning the reduction method, as a collection cube, or to complete your Solar set. If you're thinking about regular practice with a timer, consider the M version instead.

Who is it for?

For someone who can already solve a 4x4 or 5x5 and wants to try a 7x7 without spending much. It also works well as a gift for a younger cuber who isn't focused on times. Speedcubers who solve 7x7 against the clock will usually be better off with a magnetic cube.
