MoYu Magnetic Pyraminx Review

MoYu's new pyraminx breaks the standard of ball bearings to keep the puzzle aligned for magnets.  It is the same size and nothing really noticeable from the outside.  The florian holes are much bigger allowing for a larger range of corner cutting but does also allow the puzzle flex a lot more.  This is obviously not a problem for Drew Brads who broke the world record with this cube, but for an intermediate solver like myself it is often hard to control.  I tightened the tensions to help with that but did have to lose a bit of forward corner cutting for it.

The magnets are not super strong and in the tip they are hardly noticeable.  I found myself having to be a bit more accurate with that part to make sure they were aligned since there was no click to confirm it that I could hear or feel when solving.

Other than that it is what you would expect. It feels quite smooth and similar to the plastic of the older pyraminx.  If you liked the older version but preferred it to be a bit looser and possibly preferred it without the bearings in the puzzle this might be for you.
