  • Gan Megaminx

    The GAN Megaminx has been one of the most anticipated meagaminxes to hit the market. This fast, lightweight puzzle comes with many premium features like interchangeable GES V3 for all 12 centers, medium strength magnets for stability, and vibrant stickerless bright shades for better recognition. The GAN Megaminx arrives with matte plastic that wears away over time to create a glossy finish. The pieces are slightly concave to assist with grip while solving. It’s a little lighter than other popular top megaminxes at 113g but not as light as the dayan.

  • X-Man Galaxy v2 M

    This puzzle features improvements in its internal and external design allowing for greater corner cutting and an increase in controllability. This is the most popular Megaminx among professional speedsolvers right now. Also comes in an unmagnetized version for a cheaper price. Besides the v2, which is a bit smaller than the first version, there’s also the larger V2L (30.55mm vs 31.7mm). This variant also comes with a set of black parts in the box, which can be used to switch one side to black.

  • Dayan V2

    The lightest top megaminx at 99g with fast turning and strong magnets. Definitely the best choice if you got small hands but with this even most solvers seem to prefer the smaller form factor anyways. Pieces have indents just like on the GAN.

  • YJ MGC M

    The YJ MGC Megaminx is a fast, lightweight puzzle that features bright stickerless shades and ridges for better control. The YJ MGC Megaminx’s magnets are noticeably stronger than those of the MGC 3x3s. It’s quite a bit heavier than other top megaminxes.

  • YJ YuHu V2 M

    YJ’s budget megaminx offers great performance but costs a fraction of what top megaminxes do, it’s fast with moderate magnets, smooth feel and good corner cutting. It’s generally regarded as the best budget magnetic megaminx. The ridges are there to aid with grip, but some find the design a bit awkward. YJ also has pre-magnetised black parts (sold separately) that can be be swapped on.

  • MoFang JiaoShi MeiLong Magnetic Megaminx

    If you’re on a budget and can overlook this puzzles quite different look it performs good, but the Yuhu is a better choice for a similar price.
