The DianSheng Squished 3x3 (Magnetic) takes a full 3x3 mechanism and flattens the silhouette into something you won't mistake for anything else on your desk. It solves like a real 3x3, but with a built-in corner-edge magnetic positioning system that snaps every layer into place, and a squished profile that shifts into a whole new set of shapes the moment you scramble it.

Why you'll like it

• A shape that stands out: The squished silhouette breaks from the standard cube look, so it works as a playable puzzle and as a piece of desk decor when you set it down.
• Magnets that help you solve: The built-in corner-edge magnetic positioning system assists alignment during turns for more accurate, controlled solving.
• New shapes every scramble: Because of the squished build, the puzzle shifts into countless different shapes when scrambled, which adds real deception and keeps solving from getting repetitive.
• Full 3x3 solve: Underneath the flattened profile is a genuine 3x3 mechanism, so it plays like the cube you already know.

Performance & design highlights

• Magnetic positioning: Corner-edge magnets pull each layer into position, so turns settle where they should instead of drifting.
• Anti-stick internals: An integrated internal friction surface paired with tortoise-shell anti-stick grooves and a primary core helps prevent turning stickiness and keeps the feel smooth over time.
• Stickerless finish: Molded plastic color with no stickers to peel or fade.
• Squished profile: A 64 mm footprint with a 56 mm height gives it the distinctive flattened stance.
