GAN 356X v2, 3x3 Magnetic Speed Cube Magic Cube 356 X ver. 2020 (Stickerless)

I have been playing around with magnet strengths and tension settings to trying find my favorite. Since I typically solve White-Down only, I have setup Medium magnets on D, Strong along E, and Weak on U. My Ao100 has pushed down from 25 to 23 and I am getting a lot more Sub-20 solves than I used to. My favorite thing though is probably how quiet the cube is compared to my previous main (Spring-Swapped WeiLong GTS2M). Not a fan (yet?) of using this for One-Hand solving, but maybe with a different magnet/tension setup I would be. Wish they included a blank White cap so I could use it for 3BLD in competition without needed to scrub off the logo.

My kid love this “professional grade” cube, smooth and quiet, customizable and nice storage

My son plays it all the day. We are happy with this purchase

my son was so excited to have this speed cube & he was so obsessed about it. but he is so disappointed when the edges of the stickers started coming off after 2 wks of use. & today after 1 month of delivered the main logo has come off completely. so, think before buy the stickered one. i dont know if there is any option for replacement.

Son loves his speed cube.

If you’re looking for a speedcuber review, keep scrolling. I’m still working on getting my solve times under a minute and learning CFOP, so this review is definitely from a beginner’s perspective. I bought a well-known smart cube a few weeks back after struggling to grasp the LBL algorithms on my own and 10/10 would recommend a smart cube for any beginner who just want to learn to solve, but I was quickly frustrated that I couldn’t get my solve time below a minute and started to analyze what I liked and didn’t like about the cube and the top things were the magnets and the lack of adjustable tension. I decided to go with a Gan Cube for further practice and this one stuck out because of the adjustable magnets. Being new to cubing, I knew I didn’t like the strong magnets in my smart cube, but I also knew I liked magnetic cubes. The stock magnets feel weaker than the ones on my smart cube and probably would have been fine, but I swapped out for the weakest magnets anyway just to get a feel for things. After several solves, I landed on the mid-strength magnets (yellow) and set about adjusting the tension. I was initially wary of how light this cube is compared to my smart cube, but after adjusting everything to my liking, I warmed up to it. It’s easy to swap out the magnets and tension nuts and to use the included tool to tighten/loosen things up. I highly recommend this cube to anyone who is unsure what they want in a cube or who is picky about hand feel. You won’t be disappointed.

This cube is awesome for speed cubers. It’s worth the extra few bucks.

Our daughter is really getting into competitive Rubik’s cube and this magnetic speed cube is a must. She improved her time by 5 seconds with this speed cube!

Got into cubing in 2012 and fell out of it in 2015 before the magnetic cubes took over. Just recently picked up the hobby again and thought to give gan a try. Took it out of the box and couldnt believe the difference from this gan to the zhanchis and weilongs I used to use. Its so fun to solve. I just got a big PB on it, which I didnt think would be possible with a 5 year break from speedcubing. Totally recommend.

Ive done minimal work other than putting in the magnets for this cube, and I really love it! Definitely the best cube Ive ever used as a casual rubiks solver. It got my best time down from ~42 to 31 seconds.
