The Gan 356 M is probably 3.5 out of 5 stars, but I rounded down because I really don’t like the new GES tension system Gan is going with in all the majority of their new cubes. It only allows two tension settings, and for most of their cubes that use these new GES nuts, that’s all the adjustment you can do because they don’t include extra GES nuts that have stronger springs. This is even true for their highest price cube, the Gan 356i smartcube. It has an even more primitive GES nut, but still only has two tension settings, AND it frequently rotates on its own to the remove or zero setting, so the whole cube falls apart when solving. Anyway, enough about the GES system, but I just wanted to cite that as the primary reason for the mediocre rating.The cube as a whole (disregarding the lousy GES nuts) is very good, but it should be for a $35 cube. Ironically, this is considered to be Gan’s “budget” cube model, but at $35 that puts it at the flagship price point for a lot of other cube brands like Moyu, etc. It has a matte finish similar to the Gan 356 XS that “shines up” a little over time with solving it. I don’t mind the matte finish, but a lot of people feel it provides less grip than the glossy finish of previous Gan models. Turning is fairly smooth. Corner cutting is mediocre, which is a bit of surprise for a Gan cube. The problem is that you can’t really adjust it (because of the new GES) to improve the corner cutting. Magnet strength is medium-strong. Gan uses a combination of their white (strongest) magnets and yellow (medium) magnets in this cube. The magnets are not replaceable/adjustable, so that’s simply what you get. Personally, I wish they had used all white (strongest) magnets, but that’s just my preference.In summary, I like this cube, but I don’t love it (I usually love Gan cubes). I actually like the Gan 356 R or RS (new version of the R) much better, but you will have to add magnets to those yourself. I have done this with both 356 R and 356 RS, and they’re both much better performing cubes than the 356 M.

Very nice cube. Ultra smooth. I like this one far more than the 356xs which I found to be a bit sloppy even on all the tightest settings. Would be great if it came with a tool for the interchangeable parts since my fingers are a bit too large to get in there. But not a big deal.

This cube was great, until, after 1 day of solving, I finished a solve, and everything was off. I took it apart to discover the problem, and as you can probably see from the picture, the core was chipped. I do not recommend this cube. You should buy the all power m for the same price

This is my 3rd speedcube. The difference between this and my cyclone boys magnetic stickerless is insane. It weighs practically nothing and turns like butter once you figure out what settings you like. It does have a weird finish that makes the cube pretty slippery when your hands gets sweaty but that went away after a few hundred solves. I have been cubing for a little over a year, just a few days ago I absolutely shattered my PB of 0:47.98 with the GAN cube. My new PB is 0:36.40. I would recommend this cube to any intermediate or advanced cuber. I would not recommend it for beginners strictly because of the price.

This is my son’s first magnetic cube and he absolutely loves it. He says it’s the smoothest of all his cubes. You can adjust the tension to however you like. Comes with a clear plastic box, bag, and the plastic tensioner. You don’t need a tool to adjust tension you can adjust by hand.

The Gan 356M is an excellent introduction to the Gan line for beginner and intermediate speedcubers. It has the frosted exterior (which goes away pretty quickly), magnets, and tensioning and elasticity customization options of the flagship 356 models but at a much lower cost. The main caveat is that the magnet strength is not adjustable as it is on the 356X and XS. But the magnet strength is around medium and therefore functional. If you鈥檙e not ready or willing to drop $60 on the X or XS, then the 356M is a great option for someone looking for an excellent magnetic cube.

i wanted a faster cube after i had successfully learned CFOP.

I really like the cube but unfortunately it came missing a part. A special tool is needed to change the GES and without it I can’t switch them out. I’m pretty disappointed because it’s a very cool cube but missing this tool just sucks. I have an adjustable cube that is unadjustable

I bought the soft texture. After 2 weeks playing with it, I took my 356x and my 356xs, witch I was verry happy with. What are those crappy cubes. Washhh. That’s it. The soft texture coating is the best inovation ever. Gan I am asking you to offer this coating on your older cubes and you will get serious new unexpected new revenus. Personnaly, I would buy them all again with the soft coating. I am addicted to it. You gotta try it. GanCube I am serious, If you offer this to all existing 3x3xe cubes. You will have to sponcer me. Free cube for live. Because I tell you this something great. Corner magnets also is something that is worth gold.
Gan is a big step ahead of all others.
I am you biggest fan, I am no world reccords breaker but I average under 1 min. 47 yrs old. First solved march 2019. I got addicted and I got money to get the best cubes. Gan #1.

Amazing cube. The cube looks great and feels great. It is very forgiving, light, smooth, fast and stable at the same time. The core magnets give the impression the cube is turning by itself. You truly are assisted while turning because of it. The only minor point to me is that te magnets are to strong even on the lightest setting. The extra magnet rods feel the same. It would be great if Gan could offer magnet rods with really light magnets for those who like light magnets. Otherwise this is a fantastic cube and a piece of art. Good job Gan! Love it!
