This is our in-depth review of the GAN356 XS, GAN's 2019 flagship 3x3. Weighing in at only 67g, the XS is THE lightest flagship 3x3 currently around. Despite its low weight, GAN managed to pack a ton of features that are both highly functional and highly convenient. These customization options lets you adjust elasticity, tension, and magnetic strength without spending very much effort. We consider this cube a great upgrade to the 356 X and we are very excited to see how this cube can help speedsolvers achieve their PB's.

  • People: AHHH I LOVE THE XS YEEEEEE me: yeah well no MY PERSONAL REVIEW ON THE XS I’m kinda in the same place as J Perm was about the GAN 460. So many people love it, but the best factor for me was the customization and colo(u)r shades. Turning was alright, but corner cutting killed this cube for me. I use roux, so I rely heavily on slice turns, which you’ll need a cube with good corner cutting. The XS has very below average cutting, and even though it was so effortless to corner cut where it did, this did not save slice turns for LSE. The best “screw” setting for me was like 3 or 4 (I forgot), but it still isn’t the best. 1 could barely corner cut a piece, and 6 was too unstable. The spring system was fine. I also didn’t notice the frosted finish :P The magnets were too strong for me. I like to have magnets in my cube, but not to the point where it’s overpowering. Strongest magnets were way to strong for my liking and made turning and slices unsatisfying, middle was the same as strong but less intense, and the weak setting is well fine but still a bit too strong for me. The honeycomb/hexagon piece design is well debatable. Lube is spread evenly, but dust can easily collect there, making cleaning this cube kinda a chore. Weight was the best So overall, my rating? 7.0/10 I’m glad that GAN’s flagship met the community with love and support, and I don’t find anything wrong with that. I do think GAN did do a great job for their flagship, but is it good for me? No. This is all my opinion and is to be taken lightheartedly.

    @thaiisfood@thaiisfood3 жыл бұрын
    • I like thai food I use roux aswell and The M-Slices are absolutely amazing. I have my cube on setting one on the light blue piece, and the third click on the spring compression. My lse suffered a bit on strong magnets, but became really good when I switched to medium (weak magnets made the cube too unstable) What do you average btw?

    • Not an expert but, i watched many videos and i would say no. It is still a debate whether or not the X is better and there are many opinions. Personally i think that the XS is superior, but definitely not worth the upgrade from an X. The main difference is the wieght and the customization. If you can't find a good setup for you X maybe. But if you did, and i think you did, than it is only the weight that is more advantageous as many people consider the X as the more "buttery smooth" puzzle. Hope i could help!
