DianSheng 7x7 (Magnetic)

This cube is very good for a budget 7x7. It's not all that bad if you don't take 7x7 seriously. If you turn it too fast out of the box, then it may pop on you, but once tightened, the chances of that are slim, but will slow you down a bit. I recommend this cube unless you are taking 7x7 seriously.

Very pleasant to use, the turning feels light and effortless; the magnets make a noticeable improvement to getting the layers aligned. I also like the texture on the faces, it's slightly matte so it doesn't pick up skin oils like a glossy/stickered cube.

I average about four minutes on 7x7 with the Aofu, and about 5 with this cube. Out of the box all the layers are fast but controllable. Corner cutting is ok, but probably not to be heavily relied on. Cube not recommended for people with smaller hands, but aside from that it's a good first magnetic 7x7.

This is my first 7x7 but it turns well and hasn't popped once. If your looking to try 7x7 buy this cube.

I have had a rather good experience with this cube, it is not too tight out of the box, and after about one year, it is still not too tight where it ruins the turning, and not too loose where pieces pop out constantly. It is right at the perfect tension and I have never experienced a bad lockup or any popping. It has a great smooth feel when you solve it and the magnets are strong throughout all layers. If you are focused on speed however, it doesn’t have the greatest corner cutting but it is perfect for simple relaxed solves. Highly recommend.
