YuXin Huanglong 15x15x15

YuXin Huanglong 15x15x15

A 15x15 cube takes hours to solve, not seconds. On a puzzle like this, what matters most is how long you can hold it comfortably. The YuXin Huanglong 15x15x15 measures 106 mm per side, which is compact for 15 layers. Its rounded corners and edges also keep it from digging into your hands during a long session. It is a stickerless cube in a bright colour scheme, released at the end of 2024.

Size and weight in practice

The cube weighs about 800 g. You hold it with both hands, and during longer solves many people rest it on a table or on their knees. The smaller size really matters here: the pieces sit close together, so it is easier to reach the middle layers with your fingers. Thanks to the rounded shape, the cube feels smaller in your hands than its dimensions suggest. The cube has no magnets, so the layers do not align on their own. You need to finish each turn more precisely than on magnetic 3x3 or 4x4 cubes.

How it turns

Users praise how well the cube turns for such a big puzzle. Some also say it performs better than the MoYu 15x15 because it is smaller and has a more cubic shape. These are customer opinions, though, not a measured parameter. With 15 layers, you cannot expect the lightness and corner cutting of a speedcube. The Huanglong is best turned calmly and precisely, without aggressive turning.

Who is it for?

For people who have already solved the 7x7 and bigger cubes and want to take on something that takes several hours to solve. It is also a great showpiece for a collection of YuXin Huanglong big cubes. For a first big cube, especially for a child, a smaller model such as a 5x5, 6x6 or 7x7 is a better choice. The 15x15 is not a WCA event, so you buy it purely for the joy of solving and for your collection.
