DaYan GuHong Pro+ 3×3 M — 54 mm — MagLev: compact “reactive” flagship with magnetic core

DaYan GuHong Pro+ 3×3 M — 54 mm — MagLev is the compact version of the GuHong Pro+ with a magnetic core and a MagLev system instead of classic springs. The 54 mm size makes the cube especially comfortable for smaller hands and one-handed solving (OH), while the corner-to-core magnetic core, layer magnets and magnetic suspension in the center provide a very fast, light and still controlled turning feel.

Thanks to the absence of spring/washer friction, the MagLev version is noticeably faster and more “floaty” than classic Spring modifications. This is a compact flagship for those who want maximum speed and responsiveness in a small form factor.

Who is this cube for

Skill level:

• intermediate and advanced speedcubers with confident fingertricks;
• competition cubers who need a fast, modern MagLev main;
• fans of compact cubes and one-handed solving.

Age:

• teenagers and adults;
• also suitable for kids with smaller hands, if they already solve 3×3 confidently and are ready for a fast cube.

Main use cases:

• intensive speed training and 3×3 competitions;
• one-handed solving (OH), where compact size and light feel are especially important;
• upgrade from budget and spring-based cubes to a more “reactive” MagLev flagship.

Turning feel

• turning is very fast and light — the cube offers almost no resistance in moves;
• it keeps DaYan’s signature softness and smoothness, but feels noticeably more “airy” than Spring versions;
• the magnetic core and edge–corner magnets create a “rail-like” effect — layers gladly snap into place after a turn;
• sound is moderately quiet, leaning towards soft and muted, without harsh clicks or crunch.

Out of the box, GuHong Pro+ 54 mm MagLev is usually set quite loose. For cubers not yet used to MagLev, it can be a good idea to slightly tighten the tensions and add a thicker lube to gain more control and make the feel a bit more focused.

Magnetic core and MagLev system

Magnetic core (corner-to-core):

• corners are connected to the core with magnets, making the cube feel more solid and monolithic;
• layers tend to return to the correct position by themselves, reducing micro-misalignments;
• provides a light “autopilot” effect at high TPS.

MagLev instead of springs:

• classic springs are replaced by a pair of repelling magnetic rings in the center;
• spring/washer friction disappears — turning becomes faster and more consistent;
• no spring noise and less wear on the tensioning mechanism over time.

Layer magnets and adjustment:

• edge–corner magnets are responsible for clear magnetic layer alignment;
• depending on the batch, magnet strength adjustment may be available — you can choose your preferred balance between “stickiness” and freedom;
• dual center adjustment (tension + compression) lets you tune the cube for either a careful or aggressive style.

Stability and corner-cutting

• modern forward corner-cutting — the cube confidently cuts big angles without heavy lockups;
• reverse corner-cutting is also strong, so the cube forgives small alignment errors;
• the magnetic core and MagLev suspension help layers snap back into place quickly during algorithm spam;
• anti-pop elements and anti-twist corner protections reduce the risk of pops and corner twists.

Size, weight, materials

• Size: 54 × 54 × 54 mm — a compact format, excellent for OH and smaller hands;
• Weight: light for a flagship; MagLev removes metal springs, which slightly reduces the mass;
• Shell: stickerless, with bright colors that are easy to recognize at speed;
• Surface: typically glossy or semi-glossy, pleasant to the touch and easy to clean;
• Internals: light (primary) plastic with ridges and grooves to reduce friction.

Key advantages of DaYan GuHong Pro+ 54 mm MagLev

• compact 54 mm size — ideal for one-handed solving and smaller hands;
• MagLev system instead of springs — maximum speed and light turning with reduced friction;
• magnetic core and edge–corner magnets — high control and clean layer alignment;
• dual center adjustment and (where available) magnet strength tuning — fine adjustment for any style;
• soft, smooth yet very “reactive” feel — perfect for dynamic, fast solves.

Who it may not suit / nuances

• if you prefer calmer, more “grounded” cubes, the Spring version may be more comfortable;
• fans of the classic 55–56 mm size may initially find 54 mm too compact;
• because of its high speed, the cube requires careful setup and lube choice to fully match your style.

DaYan GuHong Pro+ 3×3 M — 54 mm — MagLev is an excellent choice if you want a fast, compact flagship with a magnetic core and MagLev suspension, focused on aggressive TPS, one-handed solving and chasing personal bests.
