A 5x5 has five layers per side and 98 moving pieces, and it is the big cube most solvers learn after a 4x4. It uses the same reduction method: build the centers, pair the edges, then finish it like a 3x3. We stock 5x5s from budget magnetic cubes to ball-core flagships.
For a first 5x5, a budget magnetic cube from MoYu, QiYi or YJ is the place to start. Magnetic means magnets in the pieces pull each layer square after a turn, which helps keep five layers lined up. Flagship 5x5s add core magnets or a ball core, which steady the inner layers, and UV coating, a matte finish that resists finger oil. The 5x5 is an official competition event, and the flagships are built for that kind of practice.
Other Sizes and Styles
Mini 5x5s fit a pocket, and carbon fiber and metallic finishes make a 5x5 a display piece as much as a puzzle.
