DianSheng Galaxy CTO - Non-Magnetic — corner-turning octahedron for FTO-family fans

DianSheng Galaxy CTO Non-Magnetic is a corner-turning octahedron, meaning an octahedral puzzle that turns around corners, unlike an FTO that turns by faces. It is stickerless, has an edge length of about 65 mm, and comes with an adjustment tool.

Who this CTO is for

• For people who like FTO and want related but different logic.
• For fans of octahedral and non-cubic puzzles.
• For collectors of modern DianSheng Galaxy shape-mod models.
• If you want magnetic click and auto-alignment, choose the Magnetic Ball-Core version.

Turning feel

• The turning is smooth and fast for a non-magnetic model.
• Because there are no magnets, layers must be aligned more precisely by hand.
• Stickerless bright colours help piece readability.

Magnets and mechanism

• No magnets — this is the Non-Magnetic version.
• CTO turns around corner axes, not around faces like FTO.
• It has tension adjustment and 6 spring-compression levels using the tool.

Size, weight and materials

• Type: Corner Turning Octahedron, CTO.
• Edge length: about 65 mm.
• Surface: stickerless bright plastic.
• Package: gross weight is often listed around 98 g for the non-magnetic version.

Main advantages

• Rare and interesting CTO mechanism.
• Non-magnetic version is more affordable than the Magnetic Ball-Core variant.
• Adjustable spring compression.
• Good mid-difficulty challenge for a collection.

Things to keep in mind

• No magnetic alignment.
• Requires different logic from FTO.
• A complete beginner will find it harder to understand than 3×3 or Pyraminx.

How to use

First observe which pieces a corner turn moves, because CTO is not the same as FTO. Change settings gradually and always check layer alignment before faster turning.

Packaging and contents
