YuXin HuangLong Gigaminx – Refined 5x5 Megaminx Performance

The YuXin HuangLong Gigaminx is a high-quality non-magnetic 5x5 megaminx designed for solvers who want smoother performance than entry-level models, without stepping up to a fully magnetic gigaminx.

Sitting perfectly between budget and premium options, this gigaminx offers improved stability, cleaner turning and a more refined feel compared to basic designs.

🔍 What Is a Gigaminx?

A gigaminx is the 5-layer version of a megaminx. Like a 5x5 cube, it uses reduction-style solving, but in a 12-sided dodecahedron shape.

• 5 layers per face
• 12 faces
• Hundreds of pieces
• Long, satisfying solves

If you are comfortable with megaminx or higher-order cubes, the gigaminx is the natural next challenge.

⚙️ Performance & Turning Feel

The YuXin HuangLong Gigaminx improves on older gigaminx designs with a more refined internal mechanism and smoother turning straight out of the box.

• More stable than basic gigaminxes
• Consistent layer alignment
• Clean corner cutting for its size
• Stickerless bright plastic

While it is non-magnetic, it offers noticeably better overall performance compared to entry-level gigaminxes, making it ideal for intermediate solvers.

📏 Size & Specifications

Gigaminxes are measured by edge length due to their dodecahedral shape.

• Edge length: approx. 39mm
• Layers per face: 5
• Faces: 12
• Magnetic: No
• Colour scheme: Stickerless

At 39mm edge length, the YuXin sits between the larger 40mm ShengShou and the more compact 35mm DianSheng M, offering a balanced feel in the hands.

🎯 Who Is This Gigaminx For?

• Solvers upgrading from an entry-level gigaminx
• Megaminx solvers wanting a larger challenge
• Cubers who prefer non-magnetic turning
• Collectors of large dodecahedron puzzles

If you want smoother performance than budget options but don’t require magnets, this is an excellent middle-ground choice.

💰 Position in the Gigaminx Range

The YuXin HuangLong Gigaminx sits between:

• ShengShou Gigaminx (40mm) – best value entry-level option
• DianSheng Gigaminx M (35mm) – premium magnetic performance

This makes it the ideal choice for those wanting improved refinement without paying for a fully magnetic design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the YuXin HuangLong Gigaminx magnetic?

No, this is a non-magnetic gigaminx. It offers improved stability through its internal design rather than magnets.

How big is the YuXin Gigaminx?

It has an edge length of approximately 39mm, making it slightly smaller than the ShengShou version and larger than the DianSheng magnetic model.

Is this better than the ShengShou Gigaminx?

Yes, in terms of refinement and overall feel. It is smoother and more stable, though it comes at a higher price point.

Should I choose this or the DianSheng Gigaminx M?

If you want magnetic performance and maximum control, choose the DianSheng. If you prefer a refined non-magnetic feel at a lower price, the YuXin HuangLong Gigaminx is an excellent choice.

Is this suitable for beginners?

This puzzle is best suited for intermediate and advanced solvers who are already comfortable with megaminx or higher-order cubes.

YuXin HuangLong Teraminx – Refined 7-Layer Megaminx Performance

The YuXin HuangLong Teraminx is a high-quality 7-layer megaminx puzzle designed for cubers who want smoother performance than entry-level teraminxes. Sitting between the budget ShengShou Teraminx and the premium magnetic DianSheng model, it offers a more refined turning feel while remaining non-magnetic.

A teraminx is the 7-layer version of the megaminx, making it the dodecahedral equivalent of a 7x7 cube. With hundreds of pieces and extremely long solves, it is one of the most impressive mass-produced twisty puzzles available.

The teraminx belongs to the megaminx puzzle family and increases the complexity dramatically compared to smaller variants.

• 7 layers per face
• 12 faces (dodecahedron shape)
• Hundreds of moving pieces
• Extremely long solving times

Most solving methods involve reduction techniques similar to solving a 7x7 cube: centres are solved first, edges are paired, and the puzzle is then completed like a standard megaminx.

⚙️ Performance & Turning

• Stickerless bright plastic
• Stable piece design

This makes it a great option for cubers who want better performance than the ShengShou Teraminx but do not need the premium magnetic design of the DianSheng version.

• Faces: 12
