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

The black side version of GAN Megaminx V2 MagLev uses the same advanced MagLev mechanism as the grey side version, but with a colour scheme that includes a black side. It is a stickerless megaminx with a matte/frosted surface, magnetic core, and up to 15° layer auto-alignment.

Who this megaminx is for

• For solvers who want a high-end megaminx but prefer a black side in the colour scheme.
• For people who already have megaminx experience and want faster turning.
• For practice where speed, stability, and control all matter.
• If you are used only to a grey side, the colours may take a little adjustment.

Turning feel

• MagLev gives a lighter and faster feel, with less spring friction than traditional spring systems.
• 15° auto-aligning helps the layers settle near the end of a turn.
• The matte surface is practical for longer solving because it is not as glossy as UV coating.
• The black side changes the visual reference point, which some solvers like and others need time to get used to.

Magnets and mechanism

• Magnets are included: the model uses MagLev, a magnetic core, and magnetic positioning.
• The mechanism includes Omnidirectional Core Positioning 4.0, a dual magnetic ring, and a 40-point axial system.
• The magnetic core with 160 points of magnetic action increases stability and response.
• The adjustment system offers 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: black side version instead of grey.

Main advantages

• The same advanced MagLev mechanism as the other V2 MagLev versions.
• Black side for solvers who prefer a different colour scheme.
• Fast and stable turning with magnetic alignment.
• 36 possible adjustment combinations.
• Matte surface without extra UV gloss.

Things to keep in mind

• The black side is not equally intuitive for everyone if they are used to the classic grey side.
• There is no UV coating, so it does not have the extra shine and protection of the UV version.
• The fast MagLev feel may be too sensitive for a beginner.
• The price is in the higher megaminx range.

How to use and adjust

First get used to the black side colour scheme, then fine-tune tension and elasticity. With megaminx, it is better to test settings through longer solves because the difference is felt across many more turns than on a 3×3.

Packaging and contents

It comes in official GAN packaging. GAN Megaminx V2 MagLev 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 part of the set.
