It was tight out of the box and loosening the tensions definitely improved the performance. Without the magnets, the turning has some friction similar to the Galaxy. The weight is noticeably lighter than the Galaxy which I like, because the magnetic Galaxy was a little too heavy to do long sessions. The puzzle was a little less stable than the Galaxy or the Yuxin, which caused some lock-ups in solves. Putting magnets inside the puzzle completely solved this problem. What makes this megaminx unique is the shape of the puzzle. The pieces have a convex surface which feels similar to the AoLong V1 , and this design and the ridges made the grip very nice. This megaminx is good for anyone, and it gets even better with magnets.
For anyone wondering what strength and size of the magnets I used, I used a 3x1 n35 for corners and 2 3x1 n35s for the edges. Although it is not noticeable when solving, it drastically improves stability of the puzzle which was a main issue in the non magnetized version. Maybe the magnets can be a little stronger.

Awesome! I'm bad enough at megaminx and short enough on money at the moment that I'll probably wait at least until I sell a few cubes to pick one up, but I've got some 3x1.5 n52s that look like they'd be perfect.

Anybody want a black Wushuang M with slightly too strong magnets?
