DianSheng Galaxy magnetic 10x10x10 unboxing + lube + UNR?
Daniel Evans
The DianSheng Galaxy 10x10x10 is the world's first mass produced magnetic 10x10x10 speedcube, DianSheng seem intent on continuing to release larger and larger magnetic speedcube puzzles. The 10x10x10 performs just as well as their 8x8x8 and 9x9x9 and allowed me to solve it in significantly less time than I have previously solved 10x10s! I have since got my PB down to 13:45 which is significantly below my previous times on the Meilong/QiYi where I was averaging around 20 minutes. The magnets make the puzzle feel significantly smoother and the cube just feels nicer, obviously it is a 10x10 so some care is still required to ensure the cube does not pop but I feel far more confident trying to turn fast than on cubes like the Meilong or the QiYi and while the YuXin also feels nice, it is way too big for speedsolving! The DianSheng 10x10x10 is only 79mm making it perfectly reasonable for speedsolving, it is a 10x10x10 after all! You can buy it here
The cube is fine - nice and smooth, nothing wrong with that.
Still, the only thing it can do in the "smart" mode is scramble; as soon as you get it out of the robot, the app just loses the cube, and the timer shows a completely solved cube, rendering all the extra money you paid for the "smart" features almost completely useless.
Excellent customer service. when I emailed, i got a response back quite QUICKLY. The guy was quite helpful, and answered any questions I had.
Unfortunately, due to the low quality part, the spare piece I had ordered broke after a month or so. However, this isn't the fault of speedcubing.org in the slightest. Simply a cheaply made part.
I would highly recommend this site.
