DianSheng Galaxy Dual Octahedron M (Ball Core) — magnetic dual octahedron with full magnetic system

DianSheng Galaxy Dual Octahedron M Ball Core is an eight-sided puzzle from the DianSheng Galaxy line. Compared with FTO and CTO, it has a different piece layout and a different solving logic, using a ball-core and a full magnetic system with 64 magnets.

Who this puzzle is for

• For FTO/CTO-family fans who want a new octahedral challenge.
• For advanced cubers and collectors of non-cubic puzzles.
• For people who want stable magnetic feel in a shape mod.
• Not the best choice as a first twisty puzzle.

Turning feel

• The magnetic system gives clear feedback.
• The ball-core helps stability during faster turning.
• The frosted/stickerless surface gives a calm grip without stickers.

Magnets and mechanism

• Magnets are included — specifications often list a 64-magnet system.
• Ball-core construction improves stability and alignment.
• The mechanism is Dual Octahedron, not a regular FTO.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: often listed around 85 × 78 × 60 mm or 68 × 68 × 56 mm, depending on measurement method.
• Gross weight: about 102 g in some specifications.
• Surface: stickerless/frosted plastic.
• Type: Magnetic Dual Octahedron.

Main advantages

• Unusual octahedral mechanism.
• 64 magnets give a stable feel.
• Ball-core helps control.
• Good for a collection of advanced shape mods.

Things to keep in mind

• It is not an FTO and does not solve the same way.
• Can be confusing without octahedral puzzle experience.
• Dimensions differ between product cards because of measurement method.

How to use

First learn the basic moves and do not compare it directly with FTO. Solving becomes easier when you track the group of pieces moved by each turn.
