Product Review: GAN 330 Speed Cube Key Ring 3×3 Mini Cube Keychains Toys Gift 1.2 InchI have most of the GAN 3×3 cubes that have been released, some in multiple copies like the GAN 356X. Was happy to see this one for portability on the go. I also have most of the mini cubes from MFJS, YJ, and the Valk mini.Off the bat, the build quality is superb, typical of GAN, with matte surface, even has the honeycombing on the inner surfaces which likely does very little for such a small cube. It is nice to add this one to my collection, obviously not for speed solving but just to play with to pass the time.The turning is sandy, slightly sticky, and from the factory it comes generously lubed, which is a troublesome combination. When I have time, I plan to break it down and overhaul it with my preferred axis grease (Vortex) and piece lube (DNM-37+Compound X). Why? Just to make it silky smooth, and to see how it will take the lube. The tensions are too loose from default and overall the puzzle is unstable, but should tune nicely.

This is a key chain version of the GAN 356. Because it is much smaller, it is a bit more difficult to turn than its bigger version, but it is much smoother than any other key chain cube that I’ve had over the years. I did not need to apply any lube to it out of the package, though I’d imagine that a drop in the center would make it turn even more smoothly. I liked the key chain that it came with because it is detachable. None of the other key chain cubes I’ve had have done their key chains that way and I’ve ended up just removing them with pliers. There is no need to do that with this one because it just clips on and off.Overall, this is a nice little cube key chain and it’s definitely worth adding to any cube collection.

Update: be careful because the clasp is not that strong. Almost lost the cube and was not happy the it was almost lost.This portable cube is a great fidget toy for anyone who needs to keep your hands busy and it moves with ease. The motions don’t get stuck, it comes with a clip like you do with the necklace and a keychain. So I like it. It’s great to keeps my hands busy when I shouldn’t be messing with things they shouldn’t touch so this is awesome.

I have never tried a GAN cube before but this lived up to my high expectations. Even for being a mini cube, it is very smooth and corner cuts very well right out of the box. It’s a really nice cube that I can attach to my bag, keychain, or throw in my pocket and use it comfortably. I really like how you can detach the chain because it gets in the way when actually solving the cube. Overall I am very happy with the cube and would recommend it.
BrittneyBrittney –
So much more than I expected. I thought such a tiny cube would be stiff and hard to move. THIS CUBE MOVES PERFECTLY. I am so happy with this product. I can still do about a minute solve time, even with this tiny cube. I’m going to buy another for my other bag! The cube can come off the chain easily with the clip.
Carol Heller –
The mini speed cube is great! It is detachable from the keychain which is a plus because then the chain is out of the way. Purchased 4 more for Christmas gifts.
B. Bermudez –
It’s really smooth, easy to turn. Perfect size in my opinion. The clamp is easy to remove if you want to use it without it. The colors are nice, not to bright and sticker less, which I love. I have it with me everyday at work. This has become My fidget toy. If it’s slow I have it in one hand just flicking a layer. The kids love the size. It’s Perfect! I Love It!
Arnold Trevino –
This cube turns so smoothly, nice little clip to allow you to quickly take the cube off/on the chain for solving
kyle mayne –
I solve cubes quite often and I wanted one that I could have with me on my keyring. I was very impressed by the quality of this cube. It came perfectly tensioned right out of the packaging, turns like butter and exceeds my expectations. I bought two of these and the “Super Impulse World’s Smallest Rubik Collectable” and was blown away by the performance GAN 330 mini cube vs the other. I’ve already processed a return order for it because it fell apart after the first rotation and the black showing through the paint. I do plan on trying full scale cubes by this company, highly recommend!

Surprisingly more durable than expected. Well built little unit, good corners prevent binding and “explosion” typically found in smaller puzzles. Smooth action despite size, good choice of materials. Keyring easily removable and holes cause no problems with the puzzle. I’m glad I have a cube I can really throw in my pocket without looking odd with a huge 3×3 bulge :/ Great addition to any collection and any age.
Ken BrunsteinKen Brunstein –
Put together a cube made up of all the colors
Peter –
For the cube guy
Laura Claussen –
Turns smoothly for a mini cube, but the tensioning system was tight, and pieces would pop frequently. The cube fell apart a few times without even touching it and finally but the dust after 2.5 months. It was a great cube while it lasted and was nice to have a small cube to take around.-Hendrik, age 12
Elder Zeekutar –
both of the egg cubes I bought did not come with stickers.I know these are primarily seen as accessories, but every other gan product I’ve bought has had stickers. Usually 2 sets. Had I known this I would have at least ordered some or at worst not ordered these
QLkp (administrador de tienda)–
I thought it was just a pendant in the first place, but it actually can be solved like other normal 3×3 cubes, and very smooth at the same time. My kid love it so much.
Jennifer –
I just learned how to solve a cube and this is the perfect pocket sized practice cube. I keep mine off the keychain for fear or breaking the corner piece it attaches to. It’s just fine with or without.
Chance Hastings –
This isn’t very breakable, trust me! And it works, it’s fun to figet with. You can adjust the screw on the inside to your desire, for how easy/not easy it becomes to spin around. Great buy
JTAP510 –
The key chain is removable:)Turns smooth, great gift for a cuber.
Cody –
Perfect little Rubik’s cube to play with on the go, small enough to fit in your pocket, comes with a easily detachable keychain. Makes for a great stocking stuffer, party favor, small behavioral reward toy, etc. Keep in mind this is not official Rubik’s cube brand, however it is still a great brand. I actually prefer this brand over official Rubik’s cube brand. There are no stickers, the colors are the plastic pieces themselves. It’s nice because it’s rigidity adjustable with a small Phillips head screwdriver. You can’t go wrong with this by, 10 out of 10 would buy again. With gentle hands it should last forever.
Tim T. –
Gave my grandsons one each at Easter they really liked them
Z. Huff –
Love that you can easily unclip it to solve.
Karen Patricia Krause –
Was broken when I received it….

Justin Murray –
My son LOVES this! It’s easier to move around than the original.
jb –
Giftable. Order was a gift fir a grandson who loves it.
Anna (administrador de tienda)–
Excellent small cube. Good turning feel!
Nora Nguyen –
Great thing to hang in my car, not as sturdy as I thought it would be
frank p –
Quality mini cube
Nick –
Like a few others I’ve tried this was intended to be a small functional cube, sadly i found out rather quickly that this cube loves to pop, badly. It was, no joke, the first pop I’ve encountered. My main issue is a GAN cube shouldn’t pop if it’s cleaned and lubed properly. In my opinion GAN cubes are the best cubes manufacturers on the market. This is a let down, and it
Sonya L –
Very well made, I use it as a decorative piece on my backpack. The cube moves very smooth – I would consider it like a speed cube.
WonderMan –
It’s a great cube, it’s fun for times like getting oil changed or waiting for something away from home
David B. –
Good quality. Perfect for taking rubiks cube anywhere you go.
Wil –
it actually works and is adjustable
Ehasf (administrador de tienda)–
This is exactly what I want. Not just a casual small pendant, but a little cube with high quality.
HMarques –
Don’t think twice. This cube is totally worth it! It’s stickerless, super smooth, and it’s a great addition to your keychain collection. Detail: the accessories can be detached very easily whenever you want to solve the cube. I highly recommend it!
Sandy –
The cube is good, but the keychain part is fragile and mine broke after about a few months
Amalia –
Girlfriend loves it
Sam –
My son clipped it to his backpack and he likes to solve it on the way to/from school on the bus.
Michael –
I’m super impressed at the quality of this teeny little cube. It is totally usable, might be harder if you have big fingers, but as an adult man with thin to average fingers, I’m not having any difficulty. Should work great for anyone with small fingers. It’s very smooth and seems sturdy. I’ve only had it for two days but hey, it’s just ten bucks. If it does break eventually, it won’t be a big loss.Definitely worth ten dollars to me, I’m amazed they don’t sell it for $15 or $20.
D. Trujillo –
The size is excellent meant for backpacks keychains and car keys. Durable for its size cause I drop it many times already just to test it’s durability. Best of all it’s like a real speed cube.
jeffrey marsh –
This is a great moving little cube! Cuts corners great! I’ve been trying to get my wife to play with the cube for 37 years but she can’t stand them. But this one she loves! She put it in her purse. I bought 2 more and planning to buy more for gifts.

This cube turns so easily and quietly! The key ring is very easy to remove. It is better than all of the full size cubes I’ve purchased and very affordable. It is my first GAN cube but I’m definitely buying from them again!
Prince Patel –
Moves great
Aleksandr –
very high quality. the child is delighted.
Kelly VokounKelly Vokoun –
not sturdy at all!!
J Lamb –
This cube is about to fall apart. It is incredibly hard to keep the sides nice because it is so hard to turn. The cube did fall apart, pieces flew everywhere so I picked them up and put them in the trash.
Practical Werewolf –
Absolutely love this thing. It’s a well made mini puzzle cube. Looks and feels like quality and very conveniently sized for a fidget puzzle to carry on your person wherever you go throughout your daily travels.
Jeff J. –
nice novelty item
Carolz –
This is so cute! I bought it as a gift for someone that loves puzzles and I wanted to keep it! The key chain is so well made which I love and appreciate and it can also serves as a little fidget toy. The purple is a beautiful deep purple and the picture is very accurate depiction. Super cute!
Keith –
My 12yo daughter recently got into cubing and wanted to take her moyu maglev to school to play with at lunch time, but it was too bulky to keep in her pocket. This thing is perfect. She loves it, so small & cute, but works surprisingly well for its size. Not going to break any speed records with it, it takes her about 2-3x longer to solve than a regular sized cube, but it鈥檚 a great little novelty toy to keep her mind active & show off her skills to her friends :-).
Niki –
Grandson loved it
Bryan Gockley –
I love this cube. It is way too big to fit in my pocket but even so, I still love using it as a normal cube.
christy –
Makes for a great gift pretty sturdy but very small which isnt an issue its the perfect keychain size
Frank –
Much smoother turning than the Rubiks keychain version. I actully enjoy turning the GAN.
Jerry Soronness –
Didn’t fall apart, as I thought it might. Given how roughly keys are treated. But it stayed together for more than a year. Fun to have with me.
Kindle Customer-LAC –
Good for collecting but pricey make it 3-5 bucks and it will be good
laura Hayes –
The media could not be loaded. This cube is very smooth an easy to turn witch makes this a great gift idea.
TonyTony –
So much fun to have this in my pocket.
NiaNia –
This was a cute gift but it lasted all but a few months! It would fall apart and off the backpack once every week. We would have to go pick up the pieces and retrace our steps. We finally lost it in a place where we couldn’t recover it. I would secure your cube with glue if you don’t mind it not being mobile.
Jason KJason K –
A legit tiny Rubik’s cube that turns and works really well can help you pass time if you’re sitting bored in an office somewhere and don’t have your big cube with you I just wish it was magnetic it gets a little bit hard to turn especially when your keys are attached I like it very much
Lauren Sos (propietario verificado)–
all the power of GAN in one tiny package. this little guy is small, but powerful.
Olga –
the joints are smooth and non binding. Awesome product and quality! I had at least 10 different cubes in the past and non of them had that quality this cube has!!!!! easy to turn and slide in different directions! highly recommend!
Orin L –
I’m disappointed. My first GAN and I can’t tell the difference between it and the one I first had which cost half the price.
Pam Burner –
My grandson refused to use a key chain for his house key. He solves and competes in rubik cube competitions and when I saw this key chain, I was hoping he would be happy with it. He Was!!!
