- 356 R S, 3x3 Speed Cube Gans 356RS Magic Cube Non-Magnetic (Stickerless)

I learned how to solve my first cube using the GAN 356. I like that it feels great on my fingertips, but this one is not magnetic. It will not snap and align any edges or corners, but that is ok since I'm a beginner. I was able to learn how to solve the cube in 3 days after practicing. There are other cubes that cost less, but I saw a YouTuber teaching how to solve a cube and she used a GAN, so I decided to buy this one. I like the colors, they are easy on the eyes. As far as speed, the cube turns are not very fluid to the point if you flick it with your index finger, it overshoots. For a beginner, this one is good. I thought it is a bit expensive. It is well made and doesn't have any strange odors. I would recommend this one if you are starting out.

I showed up to band practice one night and my other guitarist was sitting in his car playing with a Rubik's Cube. I have a small collection of them myself, so he handed it to me. It was the Rubik's brand speed cube. I didn't have a speed cube, so I started looking into them and all the reviews of all the other brands compared them to the Gan cubes. So that's what I got. It's very sturdy, the colors are nice and vibrant - and match the sides of the actual Rubik's brand, and it turns easily and very quickly. I still only know how to solve based on the algorithm shown in the little paper that comes with the official Rubik's Cubes, so I'm not going to be setting any speed records, but I can solve this one much faster than I can a standard cube. Definitely recommend.

Very smooth, my son loves this so much. He sits & plays with it for a long time.

This is great, for a non magnetic. since most cubes are going the magnetic direction, there is a certain feel to them and familiarity. But my first cube was a GAN RSC, which was pretty great. The R ( now RS) is a great cube and its better than the RSC. Too bad they don't sell the original R anymore, the ones made later labelled R are actually RS. Both are great, the RS has a lighter touch and is lighter. The R had more weight and slightly different feel (turns had a bit more momentum), plus the colors aren't as bright. I recall many people getting them to magnetize them. Beginners would be ok with this, but the cube is fast turning and beginners would overshoot on this one. For beginners its better to start out with a magnetic cube. You can youtube if you want to know more. The cube feels good in my hand, and its great right out of the box (for me), others mileage may vary as everyone that's experienced in cubing will set up the cube to their liking (youtube for that also) . I like the GAN series, their cubes are great out of the box, and once set up, are really main worthy cubes. Even this one, I was solving with it for days before going back to the X or my other mains (I have several, one day when I get better, I'll probably narrow the mains down . . .). . The R corner cuts good, doesn't lock, feels smooth, and isn't a click or clacky cube (although I do like clacky loud cubes as my favorite keyboard is a mechanical one and the typewriter sound it makes is aweeesooome!). Pretty good cube, but also commands a GAN / iphone of cubes price. The only caveat is there are other cubes cheaper and magnetic that would challenge this cube. I like strong magnets in my cubes, but I will pick up a non magnetic one and use it as a primary, just for the memories every so often and the R is one of those cool non magnetic cube. Still I like how GAN keeps a non magnetic cube in their current line up all the time. If the price was lower, they would be going like hotcakes.

Definitely looser than a standard cube for faster movement. The cube feels loose and ready to fall apart, but it will not. It holds itself well together. My son has played with it a ton and it has not loosened itself to the point where it is falling apart. Decent value. While only minor and the 4 stars, I wish the sides had more vibrant colors and not the fastest cube out there. But this cube is smooth and long lasting.

I got this Rubik's Cube a year ago, and it's been great! The moves are really smooth, so it's easy to use. It’s perfect for speedcubing because it’s fast and doesn’t get stuck. It’s also great for beginners who want to learn because it’s simple and fun to practice with. Overall, I think this is an amazing product, and I’m happy I bought it!

Works as advertised and very fast, but for true speed demons I think the ones with magnetic feel seem to be preferred. This one NOT magnetized.

Nice deal
