ShengShou Gigaminx V3 (Magnetic)

The ShengShou Gigaminx V3 (Magnetic) is a 5×5 megaminx built around a compact 35 mm module smaller than the standard gigaminx footprint, so your fingers cover less distance on every turn. A 240-magnet positioning system and adjustable spring core round out a puzzle aimed at cubers who want speed and control on one of the more demanding higher-order shapes.

Why you’ll like it

• Smaller size, faster hands: A 35 mm module shrinks the reach between turns, which matters on a puzzle this large. Less travel per move means less fatigue over a long solve.
• Magnetic positioning: 240 magnets snap each layer into place, so the puzzle settles where you leave it instead of drifting past alignment.
• Adjustable out of the box: A screw-and-spring core lets you set tension by hand tighten for stability or loosen for a faster feel.
• Stable under speed: A twelve-hole one-piece axis and clip-fit center caps keep the core locked together during fast turning.

Tuning & control

• Screw-adjustable axis distance: Set spring tension per axis to dial in how tight or loose the turning feels no need for a full teardown.
• Quick-open center caps: Clip-in center caps mean you access the tuning screw without prying the puzzle apart.
• 240-magnet layout: The full magnetic configuration is tuned for accurate stops, cutting down on overshoot and misalignment mid-solve.

Performance & design highlights

• 396-piece build: Every module clips and nests into the next, forming a complete puzzle that holds together through repeated fast turns.
• Rounded corner tolerance: Widened outer shells and rounded piece edges help the puzzle recover from slightly off-line turns instead of locking up.
• Hollowed internals: Many internal components are hollowed to trim weight, so the puzzle stays comfortable to hold through a long solve.
• Locked-in centers: Center caps seat into the fixed center piece and clamp the surrounding edge and corner centers, keeping the center region from shaking loose.
• Stickerless finish: Bright classic color scheme in durable ABS plastic, colored through so there are no stickers to peel.
