DaYan GuHong Pro M 3x3 54mm (MagLev)

I tried this cube out at the warehouse, and it felt amazing. It was as good as a GAN 13, only for a fraction of the price. It was also small, so it could fit in your hands. I would recommend this to both competitive cubers and beginners.

This cube turns buttery smooth out of the box and with a tension setting three it feels pretty balanced between controllable corner cutting and feeling loose enough to be comfortable. It has core magnets which helps with stability and a huge plus for me is that the magnets are receded in a slot making it impossible to damage and pop out. I mention this because my previous cube the ys3m had this issue and I had to take the remaining magnets out to mitigate the issue. The corner and edge magnet has a medium strength and more inner placement of that makes sense. Leaving it to not be snappy but smooth magnetic attraction. I'm happy with the magnet strength of this puzzle. This puzzle is super quiet more so than the tengyun v1. I can say this proudly as I'm testing it out while my wife sleeps in the same room and she hasn't stopped snoring yet! If it wakes her I'll remove a star later, two if she files a divorce because of how loud it is.

Haha I'm in danger! :3

It's amazing, Yes its my first DaYan cube but I am super impressed. I would recommend this cube to anyone with 20 dollars, but maybe get the spring version because its cheaper and its most likely not that different . I used Silk, Dignitas, and DNM 37. The setting that I believe to be tension is set at 2. I noticed that the ball core is orange which is cool. I don't have the smallest of hands but I love that its 54mm instead of 56 or anything bigger.

Just got this in the mail today. Love it! I havent had a cube move this effortlessly since the TV3. Magnets are great. Premium feel, budget cost! I havent had the cap problem that some others have mentioned. Only about 50 solves in though.

This cube is awesome and performs well, also really enjoy 54mm (think releasing puzzles in different sizes makes a lot of sense). The feel is somewhere in the middle of the tornado v3 and ys3m, which sounds amazing right! Well, it is, but also you get what you pay for, and it does feel very cheap. You can only adjust centre distance which isn’t that big of a deal, but the cube can feel very flimsy at times with cheap airy feeling plastic. The only other downside that I feel like doesn’t really get talked about is it’s lack of decent corner cutting - it struggles with a 45 degree, and can’t quite do line to line reverse. Even with all these downsides considered, man it really is just one of the most satisfying cubes I’ve ever turned. After wiping away some of the factory lube and adding a little weight 5, mystic and fz calm, this is one of my favourite feeling cubes ever. Tbh I obky really notice the cheap plastic feel if I’m really trying to pay attention to it. M slices are amazing, it’s super quiet and soft feeling, and has that large internal radius feel akin to the ys3m (without actually having that big of an internal radius, I guess just different piece design). But yeah, for the price I absolutely recommend this over your other “budget” core mag options ie. super rs3m BC or moretry tianma. The core mags don’t auto align but they add needed stability to balance out the flimsiness (and they’re aftually noticeable unlike the invisible magnet strength of the rs3m super). Great cube. Just does have some downsides and not mainworthy for me over my current main (wrm v9), but still very enjoyable to solve and perfect for solving in public (iz so quiet).

Yes, I have small hands, but it is so gooooood!

I enjoy the super smooth turning, but I can't get over the fact that this cube feels like a cheap dollar store cube in terms of -quality-. The plastic is cheap, it's clacky, and the pieces don't quite align perfectly where the colors connect- primarily on the corners. Magnets are pretty weak and corners are sharper/pointy. I like the way it turns, don't get me wrong, it's crazy smooth and fast. But it's not a premium feeling cube quality by any means.

Blows my gan main out of the water honestly. Little to no adjustment out of the box and its just zoomy. Doesnt corner cut as good as a gan, but speed, magnet strength, and smoothness are next level.

The DaYan Guhong Pro M is a great cube but I would like to note some issues. Firstly, DaYan drenches all of their cubes in lube for some reason, which is why it feels amazing out of the box but it also is all over the outside of the cube and continues to leak out for the first day or two of usage. Now secondly, there is something wrong with the corner magnets at least in my cube. One of them came loose during a fast-turning PLL and it made shaking noises. I took it out of the corner piece but now I am not sure how to put it back in properly. Since that incident, other corner piece magnets have came loose and made noise for a few seconds but then fall back into place and it is quite annoying. I am not sure if this has happened to anybody else but even if there is a fix it seems to keep happening and I am not sure what to do. I am disappointed because I enjoy turning this cube as it is compact , has great corner cutting, and it's fast and snappy. Phil please help me.

Out of the box. It was usable with the lube inside and I was able to get my normal times.
I cleaned the cube and lubed with weight 5, dmn, and mystic. Set to the 3rd setting.
However the M slices are very quick and I was missing some fingertricks due to the small size.
After a few days, I got used to it and got my first sub-8 solve and averaged a second less.
I now main this cube.
So yeah,the cube is good. Center caps don't fall off during solves if that's a concern.
