GAN Megaminx V2 MagLev - MagLev (grey side) — fast magnetic megaminx with a matte surface and grey side

GAN Megaminx V2 MagLev is an advanced megaminx with a MagLev system, magnetic core, and up to 15° layer auto-alignment. The grey side version has a grey side and a matte/frosted surface without UV coating, making it a good choice for solvers who prefer a more standard hand feel.

Who this megaminx is for

• For cubers who already solve megaminx and want a faster, more modern model.
• For practice and competition-style solving, where stability and control matter as much as speed.
• For those who prefer a matte surface over glossy UV coating.
• For a complete beginner, it may be too advanced and expensive as a first megaminx.

Turning feel

• The MagLev system gives a fast, lighter, springy feel because it uses repelling magnets instead of traditional springs.
• Up to 15° magnetic auto-alignment helps the layers settle into place more easily.
• The matte surface feels calmer and less glossy, and it shows fingerprints less than UV coating.
• The concave piece design helps grip, which matters on a megaminx with many small faces.

Magnets and mechanism

• Magnets are included: the model uses MagLev, a magnetic core, and magnetic positioning.
• GAN lists Omnidirectional Core Positioning 4.0, a dual magnetic ring, and a 40-point axial system.
• The magnetic core has 160 points of magnetic action for stability and faster response.
• The adjustment system allows up to 36 combinations of tension and elasticity.

Size, weight and materials

• Edge length: about 30 mm.
• Weight: about 119 g without packaging.
• Surface: stickerless matte/frosted plastic.
• Colour: grey side version, closer to the classic megaminx colour scheme.

Main advantages

• Fast MagLev mechanism without traditional springs.
• Up to 15° layer auto-alignment.
• Magnetic core with a high level of stability.
• Wide adjustment range.
• Matte surface for solvers who do not want a glossy UV feel.

Things to keep in mind

• MagLev may feel very fast if you are coming from a basic megaminx.
• The matte surface does not have the extra shine and protection of UV coating.
• The price is higher than simpler magnetic megaminx models.
• Adjusting 12 centres takes some time and patience.

How to use and adjust

Megaminx is usually learned layer by layer, with logic similar to 3×3 but with 12 sides and more pieces. Change settings in small steps and test the feel on several sides, because each adjustment affects the whole puzzle.

Packaging and contents

It comes in official GAN packaging. This model is often listed with package dimensions of about 98 × 87 × 87 mm and a gross weight of about 263 g; an adjustment tool is listed as included.
