YJ RuiHu Megaminx

YJ RuiHu Megaminx

YJ RuiHu Megaminx is an affordable, non-magnetic megaminx from YJ. It's a good choice for your first dodecahedron puzzle, or if you've mastered the 3x3 and want to try something new without spending much. The model was released in 2018. We offer it in the stickerless bright version, made of coloured plastic, with no stickers that could wear off or peel.

How it turns

The RuiHu has convex pieces. The centers and edges stick out slightly above the surface of the faces, which makes it easier to grip a layer with your fingers. Users point out that with this shape you grab the wrong layer less often than on megaminxes with flat or concave pieces. Turning is smooth, and reviews often mention that the puzzle turns surprisingly well for its price range.

Keep in mind, though, that it has no magnets. The layers don't snap into place on their own, so you need to turn more precisely than on a magnetic megaminx to avoid lockups. For a beginner this is no problem at all, but during fast turning you will notice the difference in stability.

Tension adjustment

Tension is set with adjustment screws. You can tighten the puzzle if it feels too loose, or loosen it if it turns too heavily. Adjusting the tension and applying lube is the simplest way to noticeably improve how budget puzzles perform.

Who is it for?

The RuiHu is a great fit if you want to learn to solve the megaminx and find out whether you enjoy this puzzle. It's also a good option for parents looking for an inexpensive puzzle for a child who can already solve the 3x3 cube. If you plan to train regularly for speed, take a look at magnetic models, e.g. from the YJ YuHu series, which are more stable at higher TPS. The puzzle is allowed in official competitions.
