DianSheng Galaxy 8×8 M – The First Magnetic 8×8
The DianSheng Galaxy 8×8 M was a groundbreaking release, becoming the first mass-produced magnetic 8×8 speedcube. At the time, it set a new standard for big cube performance, introducing magnetic stability to one of the most challenging puzzles in speedcubing.
Even today, it remains a solid and reliable option, offering a smooth turning feel and improved layer alignment compared to older non-magnetic designs. The addition of magnets helps to guide each layer into place, making long solves more controlled and predictable.
Key Features
- Magnetic design – improved stability and layer alignment
- Smooth, polished turning feel – consistent and easy to control
- Durable construction – built to handle extended solving sessions
- Historic release – the first widely available magnetic 8×8
How Does It Compare?
While the DianSheng 8×8 M was revolutionary at launch, newer designs have since pushed performance further. Cubes such as the QiYi 8×8 M offer a smaller size, stronger magnetic feel, and a more refined overall solving experience.
Similarly, the MeiLong 8×8 V3M provides a more modern design with improved value, lighter weight, and better anti-pop performance.
Compared to these newer options, the DianSheng features a larger size and lighter magnet strength, which some cubers may still prefer for a smoother, less aggressive feel.
Who is it for?
The DianSheng 8×8 M is best suited for cubers who prefer a smoother, more relaxed turning style, or those interested in trying the original magnetic 8×8 design. It can also appeal to collectors who want to own a key milestone in big cube development.
However, for most cubers seeking the best performance, newer models will offer a more advanced solving experience.
