SengSo YuFeng 5x5x5

SengSo YuFeng 5x5x5 is a magnetic 5x5 cube from ShengShou. It was released in autumn 2022. The manufacturer is best known for big cubes and unusual puzzles, and the YuFeng series is its line of modern speedcubing cubes with factory-installed magnets. This 5x5 measures 62.5 mm and weighs approx. 141 g. In our shop it is available in the stickerless bright version.

How it turns

According to shops that sell it, the YuFeng 5x5 turns well straight out of the box. It doesn't need a long break-in period before it's ready for regular solving. It is usually described as a cube that is easy to control without feeling sluggish. The turning is smooth and fairly quiet. On a 5x5, control matters a lot: there are many inner-layer turns and a lot of edge pairing, so a cube that doesn't "run away" on its own usually leads to fewer lockups than a model built purely for speed.

Opinions on the magnet strength vary: some describe them as strong, others as standard. It's best to assume that the magnets clearly help the layers snap into place, but they are not extremely strong.

A magnetic 5x5 without overpaying

The YuFeng isn't one of the flagship 5x5 cubes with elaborate adjustment systems. Instead, you get what matters most in a 5x5: magnets, predictable behavior and a reasonable weight. At 62.5 mm the cube isn't too big in the hand, and at 141 g longer solving sessions won't tire your hands.

Who is it for?

For someone who has already mastered the 3x3 and wants to start with bigger cubes, and for cubers looking for an affordable magnetic 5x5 for practice or as a backup. It also makes a good gift for a child who can already solve the 3x3 and 4x4. If you're chasing personal records at competitions, you may want to compare it with more expensive models that offer more setup options.
