DianSheng Galaxy CTO - Magnetic — magnetic corner-turning octahedron with ball-core stability

DianSheng Galaxy CTO Magnetic is a Corner Turning Octahedron: an octahedral puzzle that turns around corners, unlike an FTO, which turns by faces. This version is magnetic, with a ball-core system, stickerless plastic, and a weight of about 76 g.

Who this CTO is for

• For fans of the FTO family who want related but different logic.
• For people who enjoy non-cubic and octahedral puzzles.
• For collectors of modern DianSheng Galaxy models.
• If you want an easier first puzzle, 3×3 or Pyraminx is a better start.

Turning feel

• Magnets give a clear click and help alignment.
• The ball-core adds stability at the end of turns.
• Corner-turning logic needs a different rhythm from a regular cube.

Magnets and mechanism

• Magnets are included, with magnetic positioning and a ball-core system.
• On this type of puzzle, turns are made around the octahedron’s corners.
• Spring adjustment and anti-pop construction are often listed in specifications.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: often listed around 67 × 67 × 56 mm.
• Weight: about 76 g.
• Surface: stickerless plastic.
• Type: CTO, Corner Turning Octahedron.

Main advantages

• Rare and interesting CTO mechanism.
• Magnetic click helps control.
• Ball-core improves stability.
• Good choice for an octahedral puzzle collection.

Things to keep in mind

• Not the same as FTO.
• Can be less intuitive than 3×3 for beginners.
• Not a WCA event.

How to use

First observe which pieces move with one corner turn. Do not force layers if they are not aligned — magnets help, but they do not replace careful turning.
