To everyone who's commenting that I ignored the smart cubes, if you actually watch the video, I explain that I'm only reviewing 3x3s that you can use in a competition. The smart cubes are a totally different category imo. You have to think about charging the cube, pairing with an app, etc. Very different.
yes
2nd 3:06
Yeah lol it literally gets said in the vid
i saw your main complaint about the Gan mini m pro is the coating, gan sells a UV coated mini m pro now, i got one a couple weeks ago and i love it, would love to hear your thoughts on it if you can get your hands on one
I completely forgot when I was looking at the reccomendations
the video that we've all been waiting for...
Hi cube for speed
Yoooo cube for speed!
What’s up man
Don’t say yooooooo that’s cubeheads thing
@@poopkhan3178 ok and
You should totally do this with other cube brands as well! There aren’t as many 3x3s for company’s like MoYu that are currently on sale, but the history lesson element would be very cool to see with the other big manufacturers (QiYi, MoYu, etc.)
จ
🙏👿😎😍😋😎😍😘🍕🌭🌮🍔🍟🍗🍖🍿
I second this! I'd love to see this same video format for brands like QiYi, MoYu, X-Man, ShengShou, and YuXin.
@@Prec1pitation X-man is Qiyi
@Prec1pitation most of those brands never really broke the scene. QiYi yeah, in the Matts Valk days. But YuXin has always kinda been a bang for your buck budget brand. But if you really want a History lesson you should learn about DaYan. They are the reason good cubes exist today. The other ones are pretty much copy and paste. Gan is really the only brand currently innovating. Every other brand is "like oh.... Gan did this 4 years ago. Let's do that." But that's not a bad thing either. You can get magnetic core, and maglev cube for $20. The cheapest one i saw was $9.99. It's obviously not going to be as good as a Gan cube, cause there's a reason they are cheap. But they are there as an option, and that's what matters. What I don't get, is the brands still using springs with 4-6 settings, non adjustable magnets, and charging $25-$30 for their cubes.
Feliks' 4.73 wasn't with the SM it was with UM the first mass produced magnetic cube. SM was used for 4.59 and 4.22 WR singles.

Wingman in 1927: what’s a Rubik’s cube?
@@jamescarter9944 and all the puzzles
And On every website
It’s so insane how far and how quickly cubes have changed. From the mid seventies until the 2000s people were using Rubik’s brands with Vaseline for lube, then for a decade after that the biggest innovation was torpedoes to stop popping, then suddenly we start seeing all kinds of development. Magnets becoming popular was only seven years ago and now it’s weird to use a cube without them. Maglev is only like 3 or 4 years old but quickly also becoming standard. You could take a Gan cube back just 10 years and blow someone’s mind
mhm
For somebody like myself who has not picked up a cube since the original Rubik's version, this was super informative, thank you. For nostalgia purposes, I decided to get a 356RS without any magnets. And, for comparison purposes, a 356M lite with magnets. Both are easy on the budget, and should be vastly easier to manipulate than a new, original Rubik's cube.
Now you should do a video where you use all the cubes nlindfolded and try to match them with their model to see how well you know the difference between them.
It's crazy to see how far the cubing hardware world has come. I remember a time before speed cubes were even a thing and you had either rubiks brand or chinese knockoff. I vividly remember sanding pieces down individually to replicate loosing spring tension since it wasn't technically adjustable. I remember using construction silicone spray lubricant because cube lubes weren't a thing. I remember building a cardboard jig to be able to put my cube on a cordless drill so that I could break in the springs and work in the lube. I don't remember which ones came first anymore but when the weilongs and dayans and moyus started hitting the market it blew my mind. I still have my first Zhanchi. Meanwhile now I pretty much exclusively use gan smart cubes. Crazy to think back to the good old days.
The 356M was my first cube and remains my #2 favorite. My number #1 favorite is the 13 FX. It is just an amazing feeling cube.
Thanks Tingman, I recently ordered the gan 356 x v2 from daily puzzles and this video made me feel more happy about my order.
You know all your reviews are so detailed I feel like you should be the official advertiser of these companies
Recently was able to complete my Gan cube collection (finally got a hold of the 357), starting with the Gan III and going all the way to the 13. Might make a video showcasing them, the trajectory and improvements are really cool over time
Oh wow, so that's EVERY Gan cube ever??
@@Tingman Pretty much haha. Though I don't have the leap/fx/other versions of the new cubes & I skipped out on a few redundant ones (Air M), but for the most part I have every Gan flagship (it's always been a goal of mine to collect them all :) Love your videos
half of those cubes are worth more than my whole collection

1 of those cubes costs more money than my whole cube collection

Nice I'm a big fan of the 11 pro ,just got the uv coated 13 and it's good,I think my next will be the 13 fX . Thanks great review.
The 13 UV was my first GAN cube. I eventually got a 12 MagLev UV and have to agree that it just feels better than the 13.
so you spend like 150$s just to decide that the older 1 was better? so im assuming u cried about the fact you basically threw away 80 bucks
@@idiot528 I got them directly from China, so it wasn't quite that much. I think it was like only $50 for the 13. I still use it, I just like the 12 better.
@@idiot528Yes I cried. Lol. That's exactly what happened to me.
Thankyou Tingman, You helped me choose which cube to get keep it up your doing an amazing job!!
Hey tingman, another amazingvideo !! I think you should do another one of these but with every Gan product other than it’s 3X3’s. Keep up your amazing work and I love watching your videos !!!
Wow this is really amazing I never thought I would see all Gan cubes in one video! Love the dedication tingman keep it up!
Holly hell, I'm not fan of the gan cubes, but I can't deny that some gan puzzle are top notch
looooove this video!! I finally decided to buy a gan cube and your video is helping me a lot choosing one thank youuuu
The Air SM brings back a lot of nostalgia for me, it was my first ever speedcube, and is still one of my favorites in my collection!
My sister collered on my sm lost a great cube that day.
I watched it entirely. No skip. So pleasing man. Do a MoYu one.
🫡
I think the air SM and the 356 Air M are the only Gan cubes that really do feel like... Gan cubes... Gan really shifted their focus from smooth flexible cubes to something like the 12 Maglev
Bro got my same TikTok pfp
It's October 2023 and my main is still a Gan 356 Air SM. Mine however came with two containers of nuts, each containing three sets, plus an additional set that came preinstalled, for a total of seven sets, and each container was triangular in shape, and a pain in the ass to open without all the pieces going everywhere. I couldnt be bothered to try all seven sets, I used the blue that it had preinstalled until just a few days ago in 2023, when I decided to try swapping them to the yellow, which was the recommended setup when this cube came out. I honestly didnt notice a difference. I decided to order a more modern cube with connectivity features so I can begin learning CFOP and Roux, I developed my own algorithms that allowed me to take my solve times to 30s, using my own method of solving that is unique from any method currently being used but, I want to see if I can develop even faster strategies by combining my own method with that of CFOP and Roux. My choice was the Gan 12 UI Freeplay, and since I was already spending too much money as it is, I bought the Gan halo timer + mat combo with the silly robot that Gan makes. My only concern with the cube purchase is how loose the cube will be. I havent used lube in my 356 Air SM ever, and it plays really well, never locks on me (my turning style is super accuracy first, speed second), and Ive adjusted the tensions using a digital torque meter so I can make sure every side is tuned to the exact same required turning torque (the nuts do not have any way of making sure the torque is exactly identical on all sides). Everything I have read says that the 12 will be a good cube, hopefully a worthy upgrade, and if they make a smart enabled version of their later cubes, Ill consider purchasing those.
this video is amazing you are getting so much better at making videos! Keep going! gl on 1 mil btw
This guy needs to be kept alive all through humanity...
“sad baby, love it” WOW TINGMAN 5:30
the gan 13 maglev is my favorite. i made the mistake of getting the uv coating bc my hands sweat a lot so it makes the cube more slippery. but i can go as fast as i can or as slow as i can and it feels so great. very accurate
The 356 M lite was my first 3x3 Gan cube and since I can't really buy any of the other one's due to the price right now, I'm glad that you still like it. Since your such a good cuber, that says alot about my first 3x3 Gan cube.
Same my first cube was the gan 356m
Nice video, answered lots of questions. I'm a bit worried you're going to do a video with every Moyu cube currently available and go insane though.
Nah not enough of a Moyu fan boy for that 😂
@tingman I am!!!!
@@Tingman ripppppppp im a moyu type of man ill do the video just someone sponsor me
@@Tingman nah. Moyu > gan by a mile
The RS is the first speed cube I ever owned, and it's real nostalgic for me. Despite the fact there are no magnets, it's honestly a great cube in terms of how it turns.
It was also my first cube haha
Same
Besides the Valk3, it was my first- and from what I've learned (except for OCLL-U and Z-perm, all of 4LLL) I usually average in the range of 50 seconds to a minute!
at this point, Tingman can make a pillowcase out of Gan's cube bags. I'm sure that'll be the most comfiest pillowcase ever
Very helpful video, thanks Tingman. More Gans cube to come.
I still have my Gan SM. I needed this vid. I haven’t cubed seriously since 2019 so it’s nice to catch up. Thank you so much for making this.
The only GAN puzzle I own is the 11 M Duo, because of that old comparison video you did and I found one for only 21 US. It doesn't feel as smooth or fast as some of my other puzzles, it almost feels like there's something wrong with it in terms of how much noise and texture there is in the turn, BUT something about that makes it easier to control, so I get faster and more consistent times on it than I do other cubes that feel much better when turned slowly. Also I finally got a bunch of things from DailyPuzzles, and got one of your signed cube covers!
Does it make a snappy noise when you turn a side? Try checking the corner magnets because when they get disloged my cube also sounds like that too
I know, there's just "something" about GAN cubes that really suit my turning style. I just can't get as consistent times on any other brand, even though I've honestly tried! And thanks for getting the signed cube cover! :)
Only US$21 for the 11M? Not bad at all! By the way, you only needed to spend about US$35 (AU$49 exactly) to get a signed cube cover free!
Hi! Tingman, I think you should do solves in your review videos to show us how the cubes change in efficiency and performance over the years.
So this is how im reminded how long I have been in the community!! The earliest cube that's shown in the video is GAN SM. But I have solved and played around with cubes that were produced atleast 3 generations before SM, namely GAN 357, 357 Ultimate, 356, 356 S, 356 S V2, 356 Air, 356 UM and then finally 356 SM! Damn that was a long time ago!! Also did you know that there is one rare GAN cube called GAN Air 473, there are only 7 of these in the entire world!
7:10 The GTS3/GTS3M had a spring compression system before the GAN XS i believe
ALTERNATE TITLE: Tingman Spends All The Money In His Wallet For 80 Dollar Plastic Toys!
I got myself two 356 M's at the start of this week before I saw this video. Going to have them tuned slightly differently. Also got the GAN Megaminx because my old one has a screw that keeps popping. Hopefully the 356 M can get my solve time under a minute on average, I'm right there on the line. I'll be satisfied with 1 minute solve times, I don't need sub 30 second personally.
I'm a proud GAN Fanboy. I have the GAN 13 Maglev rn and I really love this cube. It just turns perfectly. The funny thing is that I got with a 356 M Lite to my first ever competition and someone sold me his used 13 M Maglev. I bought it before my first round and it got me from normally 20.5s averages to a 19.0s Ao5 in the competition. That cube did wonders to my times and now I'm at 17.5-18s looking forward to hopefully compete a second time in april. I feel your pain of adjusting it but I went with the strongest magnet setting possible (which should be stronger if you ask me) and second lowest compression and center travel.
Oh gosh… I see some cubes that I’ve been tempted to get at local stores but resisted… And I also have just gotten some old cube releases recently so this is really a timely and interesting video to me. And I also have a Gan problem so high 5!
now do all moyu cubes 💀
I agree
The 356 RS is honestly not that bad, even tho it has no magnets in it, it's still a really good cube to use imo. I've been using it and maining it for around 2 years and even with no magnets I can still get decently fast times with it.
Me too! Although I have the i3 and smartcube robot, I main the RS everywhere else.
You shouldn't buy a $17 non magnetic cube, if you want a better cube for that price get the ys3m or wrm v9
Tingman reviews every movie cube from 2x2 to 7x7
This is the first 1 hour and 30 minutes video i have watched to the end! Amazing video😀
Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes and I already know that this video will be GANtastic.
bro this is just a cringe comment
What is better Matte or UV???
Matte
watching cube unboxings make me feel so warm inside

You must be a millionaire 😂 also I LOVE your vids keep up the good work
I was before I made this video
Omg i actually got a reply
That is so epic
Shorter video idea but definitely something I know lots of cubers would be super into would be to do the same video style for 2x2s as a nice short video idea
everybody: yay good cube tingman: iT hAS a CrEdiT CarD!
Anyone that dares to buy all moyu cubes? HAHAHA
Only true sigma’s can watch this video till the end
Agreed😂
This the best video ever I have always wanted to know what gan cubes I can buy thanks for helping me
I got the 356 r s months after it’s release but I still got my pb of 10s and I think it is quite good for beginner cubers as magnets are not really needed until I hit a sub 20 avg where it’s just very bad. But it’s still quite good👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can't afford button | | \/
Wow I didn’t realize it was one and a half hour video until i finished it 😂 i love this video
When I started cubing, I bought an original rubix cube from walmart, and I decided I wanted to get faster and the first speed cube I bought was the first cube you showed in the video and I wanted the magnet version but it wasn't out yet. I bought that as soon as it was out. Felix had just set a record with the prototype magnetic version of it that wasn't available. I have stopped cubing on and off over the years but have stuck with it for the last 6 months and finally have avg of 100 of 24.7! I'm almost 39 years old, and it's hard to practice with work and such.
Wow!
Just got a 12 M Maglev UV for 35 bucks on clearance and I'm super excited. I've been practicing my 2x2 and thought why waste money on a crappy Rubik's when I can just get the good one lol.
Very useful, love the content man
Teh 356 Air Sm was my first real speed cube. One I continue to cherish to this day. It’s the one that i carried from 2 minute solves all the way down to 20 seconds.
Just a correction The*
That's right: This video is longer than the cube collection video. GAN Fanboy Confirmed.
my main cube is the gan 356M and its absolutely awesome. I love it so much i got like a 6 second solve on it and i just love it so much, its been my main for so long and its just awesome if anyone is wondering if you should buy it, im telling you, buy it. Its really good i promise you
0:43 i do the same thing. also, 10:50, thats the same GAN cube i have. i plan on getting the GAN 14 because it feels a little unstable.
I am still maining the XS and just bought the 13 FX, so it'll be a hiuuuge jump! Thank you for the video, Tingman!
the gan xs is my favourite cube ever, I have the 13 fx and I still prefer the xs lmao
Could you do a comparison between the Gan RS and the Gan 11 Air? What's the best cube without magnets?
This is going to be an amazing video. Tingman your videos are the greatest treat for cubes on a Saturday
Hey Ming! This looong video explained a lot! but I still have a question ; Do you recommend the 356 M over the Tornado V3 Flagship? And also please tell me the need for lubing in either cubes i.e the frequency of lubing and its lasting nature.
Hard to compare those two, the Tornado V3 is the best that Qiyi has to offer while the 356M is mid to low range for GAN. So the Tornado is most probably better. Lubing really depends on what lube you use and how you turn!
My only GAN 3x3 I have is the 356x haha which I got when it was new. And I still remember the really old packaging where they didn’t even have the picture of the cube on the boxes.
While listening to this video, I scrambled and solved my MoYu Meilong 11x11. Edit: a month later, I played the video again, and this time I actually watched it and took in the information. Just so you don't think I consider Tingman to be background noise.
The 'real nice mate" was funny lol
Tingman finally admit that he is an awesome guy has a nice quality video and a good friend

i love my GAN 13! It is the best Speedcube in my opinion! Also this is a very cool video!
this is the best keep going!
I refuse to believe the GAN 356 Air SM was 5 years ago 😭
And you call me old
I remember being in 8th grade, 2018. My brother had the Standard Air model and the SM was the hot new bigshot. What wonderful memories
I love how much effort you put into your videos You have a $500 in boxing $600 boxing and I want thousand that’s the most you want
1:08 Budget GAN cube sounds weird. Great video as always Tingman.
I got the GAN 13 Maglev FX from a GAN giveaway when it was released (was a giveaway for the 4.91s AsR by Yiheng) and if im being honest, its the most satisfying cube that i’ve got, and one of the smoothest after the super rs3m ball core (that i also won in a giveaway) its currently my main and i LOVE it
Wth you won 2 giveaways

oh every cubers dream my fav gan cube is the xs that stickered 12 maglev i want that
In Vietnamese, GAN means "liver", so I coined the term "Sell liver, buy GAN" because it makes sense in my language
I use the gan12 maglev Stickered version but now i want every single gan cube after watching this
This video never gets old no matter what
For alternate subtitles: "Tingman is addicted to gan cubes" "Now he has all the credit cards"
I own the 356 RS and at first i didnt think it was an actual gan XDD. I did recently set my 2nd best time ever of 14.22 on it (behind a 13.96 on the rubiks connect somehow)
I currently live in the city that Gan manufactures all their cubes in, and I heard that they just released a new “Gan 356 ME” cube. I hope you could check it out!😊
I knew that as soon as I made this video a new GAN cube would come out and make this one outdated 😂
Heyo Tingman should I buy the tornado v3 or the gan 12?
Great vid, as usual. But you messed up the time of release of the GAN 12 M series, it should be 2021 ig instead of 2012. I guess you just forgot while making such amazing quality content. Cheers!
kudos to Tingman. Truly a legend who's with me
It's like a Mrwhosetheboss video but for Rubik’s cubes.. Masterpiece 👌👌
i stil remember getting my first cube which was the gan rs and i remember how i aways thought averaging 10 secconds was rediculous and impossible but look at me now a year and a half later boom
Kinda cool that the 12 maglev stickered looks exactly like a sm on the outside
