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

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.

So quiet. We can cube anywhere!

this cube is amazing. when i got it, it felt great out the box, and after setting up, i was impressed, my average dropped around 3 maybe 5 seconds, i would truly recommend this to anyone who is getting into cubing. i have no complaints about the cube itself, but the center caps are a pain to get off, if you dont like your nails getting bent, then try to use some sort of tool, and you have to use a considerable amount of force to get them back on.

Feels amazing, looks great, as far as Im concerned its the perfect cube. Magnets are good, doesnt lock up, cuts corners incredibly well, and the tension is perfectly customizable in case you dont like it out of the box. Its expensive but if you cube as often as I do (roughly 3 hours a week on average), youll be really glad you got it.

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.

I have been a fan of GAN cubes for a while now. While GAN cubes cost a premium and unlike many others, I first bought the GAN 460M (4x4) first. Intrigued by it’s quality. I went on to purchase the 356i, which is the technologically advanced cube. But I needed a training cube and heard that GAN356X allows magnet customisation and spring tension options. Between July and 12 September 2019, GAN gradually released stock of the crystal blue limited edition GAN 356 X. When I saw it, I jumped at it. I went to GAN cube store but it was already out of stock. My last opportunity was to get it from Amazon, whatever that was left available. This cube arrived and it did not disappoint! It’s smooth, light and beautiful. Being a marvel fan, I feel that the cube look like the Tesseract in my hands. (See the pictures for yourselves). After stickering it, when a light is beamed into the cube, the cube still glows a mysterious blue and sets it apart from my other cubes, GAN or otherwise. I call it the Tesseract cube and it rightfully deserves the name for how it looks. It’s my main cube now and I enjoy solving it.

Gifted it to my brother, he loved it and it was enough for him to get his foot in the door for his cubing journey. Make sure to lube it frequently.

My grandson loves.

Another win for the cube collection!

My grandson just loves it!!!
