  • i kinda actually like my 356 Maglev, and while it is my first actual speed cibe upgrading from the i Carry, I've compared it to my friends 12 and V9 I've found to actually like the auto udjustment especially with the M slice ironically. I feel like my M slice EPLLs just go faster than my mind can think with this cube. Maybe I'm not used to not having enough control but overshooting isn't a problem, but that's coming from someone who only acverages 15 (my times have decreased solely because of the M slice and S slices I use for some ZBLS/ZBLL). Massive sleeper. I liked my purchase but again I have some specific tastes and turning styles. As for other reports on the 356 Maglev, I've only heard good aside from this video: potentially being even better than the 14, Cubehead's review along with other GAN-affiliated propaganda (Tymon can avg 5 on everything). I do think that this could be flagship level especially if it did a better job than the 14 despite having 36 vs 1k+ combinations. Also I don't think magnet adjustment matters thaaaat much because according to everyone it doesn't make much of a difference at higher than 2 tps. SO buy it or don't, but do a little more research outside of this compilation of tihs cube slipping out of these guys's hands before completely throwing this one off the table. For my current setup I'm using 2-6 (I do agree with their point that only half of the travel distance settings are useful but nothing a little lube can't fix) with lunar/nebula and I might try 2-5 or 1-5 soon

  • I have the Gan 356 maglev. With a decent lube setup, but not too much, and on settings 2 and 5, the cube actually feels amazing. Corner cutting is also great. The auto alignment starts around the same place as a 12 or a 14 but the pull itself is not as strong, so it feels a lot calmer and more controllable. Honestly I think this is a massive sleeper cube and if people gave it a chance they would really love it.

  • Don't apologise for a negative review. If multiple cube manufacturers are trying to maximise profit while going through an identity crisis (and producing below par/overpriced cubes) then the review is warranted. The day you only make positive reviews is the day I stop trusting your opinion, so keep at it 👍

  • I bought an rs and magnetized it myself. I prefer it magnetized to my rs3m 2020 and my rs3m v5. I must say though it was a real pain in the neck to magnetize, they aren't the easy to take apart cubies, they are the tiny tab type, and on top of it all I got a drop of glue on a blue piece and it's ugly where I scraped it off. Feel wise though it's pretty great. Without magnets it was basically garbage.

  • I don’t know but I feel like people shouldn’t be making their decision after watching this video. Even when I was about to get my 356 maglev, I saw this video and due to which when I did my first turns, it was disappointing. I kept that cube aside for like a week or two. But then I thought of giving it a chance. Center piece travel on 1 and tension on 6 made it much better (and of course lubes) and right now I’m maining my 356 maglev. This cube has potential and gan cube at this price point is worth it. I’ve seen a lot of speedcubers switch to gan 356 maglev. My opinion is people should give it a try.

    • just dont trust any person, trust the whole community, we can prove that because i have seen a lot of reviews and the most of them says that "is a great choice if you like gan cubes but you dont wanna spend 80 dollars, and its still a top tier cube" also, if u ask me, i do not recommend the v9 (i prefer tornado v3 or gan cubes), but a lot of cubers recommend it or main it.

    • Most cubes nowadays come extremely fast out of the box, including the gan 356 maglev shown in this video and pretty much any gan cube. Moyu also tends to do that, so there are a lot of options. What I'd recommend is choose a cube that the reviews say comes extremely fast out of the box. Then choose one that has magnet adjustment so you can put it at the lowest magnet strength. Lastly, get yourself some lubes, both fast and slow (my recommendation is weight 4 + dnm37 + silk/mystic), so you can make the cube be exactly as fast or slow as you want. Good luck!

      @sofiamn_05@sofiamn_055 ай бұрын

    • If you want a light turning cube, consider cube the pro used with blind solved. Usually they have a light cube with lower magnet strength. From my experience, gan cube usually is light, but the price is just... Ugh. I would recommend something like Dayan tengyun, moyu gts3m, tornado both V2 and v3 (V2 is a bit smaller and a tad expensive, v3 is more modern and more solid with adjustable magnet strength) and rs ball core (specifically ball core, because it has weaker magnet). If you have a speed cube retailer near you, try to ask them if you can give a turn on some of the cubes. So that you can make sure the cube suit your turning style. Sorry for the essay, hopefully it could help.

  • Buying a "cheap" gan cube is like buying a cheap car from a more luxary brand. For instance you can get a $30000 car with all the bells and whistles and it's a better car. Or you can get a $30000 car from a luxary brand that doesn't have any bells and whistles because it's the base model. You're buying it because it says Gan, not because it's good.

The performance and feel of the ys3m is on par with the guhong pro m but given it's lack of durability of the corner core magnets I can't see why anyone would recommend it. Maybe I got sent a lemon but corner core magnets that aren't receded in a slot just asks for it to pop off mid solve like it did for me.

    • That's what happened to mine initially and I pressed fit it back in and thought it was fine. Then while solving it popped out again and latched onto another core magnet popped it off and repeat until four had been messed up and the internal were blocked by more magnets stacking up on the core corner slots. Its a matter of time before yours does too. It shouldn't happen to any magnet core ever. The fact a 20 dollar cube that never had a magnet pop put ever is telling in the design. I never buy cubes when they come out immediately anymore because the quality on them feel like its planned obsolescence. I almost bought a tornado v3 until I read the reviews. It seems newer flagship cubes have this problem where quality control is abysmal. Anyway, I hope your ys3m holds up. If you haven't glued it together do it asap and don't make my mistake.
