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

So quiet. We can cube anywhere!

It has a super soft texture . Previously my record was 1min now it is 39seconds. It is the best

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.

Fun to play with

I love this cube. Im a decent speed cuber with a sub 20 second solve personal best. After wearing out my Moyu, I decided I needed a little bit of an upgrade. Given the customization options for the cube, its easy to get it dialed in to the feel you want, including the magnetic strength. Its got several options from a strong pull to nothing at all. Its buttery smooth as well. The only thing Ill warn you about is that it isnt silent. Not the cube to try and solve in a meeting, but I love the click-clack sound as Im really going for a personal best time. It has excellent corner cutting and solid reverse corner cutting. This was a flagship cube for the biggest name in the speed cubing game for a reason. Definitely a great bang for your buck when you compare it to the slightly better cubes that arent just slightly more expensive.

Stellar out of the box. Incredibly good quality.

Smooth lile butter

Challenging. Well made.

This is the best cube I have so far found and would recommend it to anyone the only thing I would say is maybe putting something telling people how to remove the extra magnets, from the plastic case because I accidentally did it wrong and broke one of the holes that hold it, but that is my fault so the product is still a great buy.

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.
