DaYan NeZha 5x5 (Magnetic)

After being impressed by the Guhong Pro, I was curious to see if Dayan’s first 5x5 would blow me away. The cube feels like if an MGC 5x5 and TengYun V2 had a baby—fast, airy, and pleasantly quiet. Magnet strength in all layers feels fine and tactile.

Unfortunately, performance takes a hit in the stability department. I get fairly frequent lockups, even after tensioning. Corner-cutting is decent but unforgiving—overshoot a tad bit too much and you're getting a lockup. On top of that, the center caps fall off far too easily—superglue fixes it, but that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place especially with a pricetag of $50 CAD.

Released in 2022, it doesn’t hold up against modern flagships in 2025. It’s a decent mid-tier cube, but you’re better off going with something like the MGC 5x5 or AoChuang V6 Single-Track. I’d only recommend it if you're collecting or already have top-tier cubes and want something different to try.

This is my favorite cube to solve. The feel is absolutely amazing. The magnets are not super strong (which is a good thing for me) and with a little lube the cube becomes very fast. The plastic feels solid and high quality. I've had this cube many months and still feels great.

If DaYan made a 6x6 and 7x7, I would get those in a heart beat because they make an excellent cube. I could not recommend more.

As the title says, the caps keep falling off.

I bought this because the noise of my MoYu was annoying my roommate. It is quieter, but It also feels a little light.

I bought this cube and I was waiting for a high quality DaYan cube, and that's what I got. so when it arrived i saw that the box was cool and the packaging was not disappointing. When I unboxed the cube i thought the cube felt super smooth and extra quiet like the YuXin little magic 3m. Something I noticed like a lot of other reviews is that the cube was loose, fast and flexible. when i did a couple solves and went out to my porch for some fresh air I actually noticed that my blue center cap was gone. so i tried finding it but i could not find it so i left it there. at first i was bothered but then i was fine. later i dropped the cube and a whole bunch of pieces fell. i asked some help and my mom fixed and it still was able to turn fast.

i really like this cube but make sure that you hold it well. good job DaYan!

In my opinon, i think that this 5x5 has a good magnetic strength for others who are wanting a 5x5 . Not going to lie, the 5x5 has a smooth turning to it and it helps me reach my new PB's. Must recommend buying this 5x5.
