Let me start off by saying that this cube is amazing. It's corner cutting is better than any cube on the market (GAN X, XS, basically any flagship or GAN cube). Although it is smooth, it still has that crunchy feeling and loud turning of a regular GTS3M. Let me be clear; while the XS and the GTS3M are both smooth, they are smooth in different ways. The GTS3M is also noticeably heavier than the XS (which was a positive for me since I have pretty aggressive turning). I'm going to list its defining qualities, and not pro's and con's, because I believe that while this cube and the XS are both amazing, they appeal to different people.

This cube is/has:
- Heavier than most flagships right now
- Sharp and sudden cornercutting, but can cut better than any other cube
- A strong magnetic feel that is weaker and different than GAN's.
- Lighter shades that are noticeably different than each other.
- Not as many customization options as a GAN cube.

Other Notes:
- The cube takes about 75 solves to be fully broken in, as the cube came very sandy and slow. However, the break in is worth it!
- The cube gets very dirty very easily.
- The Mystic logo is very nice but it peels off easily, so I removed it and added another logo on the white side.

Overall, it was a great purchase and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a different feel than that of a GAN cube (and wants amazing cornercutting.) I would give the cube a 4.5/5 stars but there is no option, so I rounded up. Happy cubing!

P.S. I'm not the fastest cuber, so take my opinion as you will. I added a picture of the cube alongside my PB average (which includes my PB single)

I got this puzzle when getting back into cubing not too long ago. However, I had been cubing for multiple years already, so you can trust me! This cube, just like the original GTS3M is very loud and crunchy, but this setup is perfect and once the lubrication is broken in, it does not feel uncontrollable or dry. I am not at sub-10 or anything, but I strongly recommend this puzzle to anyone who is looking for a sturdy puzzle with high speeds and strong magnets. The magnets hold it in place very well but when you are turning it is very fast and smooth. Again, I would highly recommend this puzzle!

So plush and smooth. Just get it. It’s amazing. As simple as that.

It turns amazing and controlable for me, this is my main and I got very good pb's , I hope my new channel will succes :)

I had my hopes high when unboxing this. Turns out, I was right. OOTB the cube was so plush and smooth. Everything was just the right feel for me. I have no complaints about this cube whatsoever. Great job!

I have no idea if I just happened to be unlucky or what but the cube was EXTREMELY slow out of the box, after doing about 100 solves basically nothing changed, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This is my first premium cube. I really like it. Premium makes difference.

This cube is amazing and I was impressed. Ootb it was a little slow, but with a little more break in it was great. The mystic sticker on the green side looks very nice, however it peels off very fast. So, I took it off. It had the crunchy feeling that the regular GTS3m already had. Overall this cube is very good and it is an instant main. I got this cube in December, so this is probably a late review.

Before I purchased this cube, my main was a Gan Air SM and I averaged about 20.9 seconds and my PB was 12.1 seceonds. I can now confidently say that this cube is now my main and brought my average to about 17.9 seconds and my PB to 10.53 seconds. I very satisfied with the cube and I often struggle putting it down.

I can barely form words with this. I was expecting this to be good. And with high expectations most are usually disappointed. I was shocked. The normal clacky, crunchy feel of the GTS3 was toned down by the mystic allowing it to have a soft yet fast feel. I was aimlessly cubing not as inspired but getting this cube has got me back into it. Highly recommend if you are in search for a top of the line 3x3 at any speed.
