Product Information

For those who do not like setting up cubes, this one is probably not for you. However, for those cubers that like to collect, cubers on a budget, or all-round fans of GAN’s products, this cube is for you.

The 356 series was GAN's flagship series before transitioning to the two-digit moniker now used for their current flagships. The first digit being 3 referred to the number of layers, being a 3x3, and the last two digits refer to the puzzle's edge-to-edge length in millimetres. The most recent 356 puzzle was the GAN 356 XS, and prior was the GAN 356 X, known for being one of the first cubes to feature customizable magnet strength. Immediately, I notice the cube has a slippery feeling compared to the polished GAN X. The frosted plastic is less grippy than traditional cubes, but this would be something I am aware will become grippier after several solves, since this is a characteristic of the XS.Magnetisations for GAN cubes is different to your traditional magnetisations. The cube features caps as opposed to separate pieces, meaning the cube has to be disassembled completely. After disassembly, the caps were removed by gently pushing a flathead screwdriver in the slots, and the cube was reassembled without the caps. I added and glued two magnets, one in the edge and one in the corner, and proceeded to moving the layers to match the edge with every corner. I continued to adding magnets to the edges. Tis method is guaranteed to work without causing errors with polarities and repelling magnets. Other than GAN cube we have an exclusive collection of QiYi, MoYu, YJ, ShengShou, DaYan, MoFang JiaoShi, YuXin, and Robotime The predecessor to the Gan 12, the GAN 11 was released the year prior and was the first GAN puzzle to both adopt corner-core magnets, and the first to adopt the two-digit naming scheme, similar to that of Apple iPhone lineup. The puzzle was the first attempt from GAN to introduce different exterior plastic finishes, which has been further refined and included in the GAN 12.

While adding magnets will make the cube more stable. GAN in recent years have ventured into producing a number of puzzles other than the classic 3x3 twisty puzzle, which includes their flagship Megaminx, Pyraminx, Skewb and 2x2 and 4x4 puzzles. These puzzles include their Gan Elasticity System or GES, which in most puzzles are different springs of different strength encased in small "nuts" to produce different stability and speed, and in other are an an adjustable all-in-one system where the spring strength and distance are adjustable interchangably. GAN are often referred to as the "Apple" of the speedcubing world, producing high quality and highly polished speed cubes at a premium price tag. However, their lineup can be a little bit confusing to some. Learn more about the current GAN speed cube lineup and a comparison between the specifications of these puzzles for 2022.

GAN has also released a GAN 356M, which for a slightly higher price, offers strong magnets and adjustable elasticity, which is also an excellent option to consider. Cornercutting on this cube – similarly to the XS – is effortless at the angles which would be cut during solves. I have mentioned this before but it is worth mentioning again since it is a common misconception in the cubing industry: the angle at which a cube cuts does not determine the performance of the cube. What is much more important is the force required to cut the angles during solves, as well as how consistent and reliable these cuts are. With the RS, the cornercutting is excellent, and exceeds the cornercutting performance of many other cubes at its pricepoint.
