GAN356 MagLev UV 3x3
Product Description
The GAN356 MagLev represents a new twist on a familiar favorite. Joining the classic 356 series of GAN 3x3s, this new version incorporates the innovation and technology of 2023. This one has repelling magnets in place of a spring, offering not only a fresh approach but also enhanced performance. Featuring 6 tension adjustments, 6 center travel adjustments, corner/core magnetization, and the classic honeycomb pattern on its internals, this version has a lot of features. This is a more affordable GAN 3x3 with most of the features you would get in a flagship. This version is UV-coated which aids with grip and gives the puzzle a glossy finish.

Our Promise to You
All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you. Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.
Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop". This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces. This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts which come off can be reassembled by hand.
The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

Customer Reviews
The gan356 maglev is a decently fast cube with noticeable auto alignment and very reasonable magnet strengths. According to gancube this release is intended to bring back some of the characteristics of the older gancube releases such as the gan356 X from 2018, while having some of the new technologies such as maglev and corner to core magnets, I have to say they did a great job with that. The gan356 maglev uses the gan356 X piece construction making the turns feel slightly heavier which I enjoyed. Inside the center piece, you can find the exact same maglev and dual adjustment system as on the gan13 maglev, the addition of maglev gives this cube a clean and fast feel, it would also eliminate core friction and spring noises. For the edge and corner pieces, it uses the classic magnet capsules design but this time is blue, this ensures that the magnets can be placed as accurate as possible and reduces the distance between two magnets making the magnets feel stronger without having to use thicker magnets which could help with weight reduction. The gan356 Maglev does not have adjustable magnets like on the gan13 and gan14, but there still has corner to core magnets, it's small radius magnet placement enables for large angle auto alignment even without edge repelling magnets.
Overall, the gan356 Maglev is a great cube at a reasonable price, if you're looking for a gan cube with maglev and core magnets but don't want to spend that much for flagships like the gan14, this would be the perfect choice for you.
Do you miss the feel of the old 356 cubes, yet you want the tech of newer cubes? This cube is it! It has the same feel of the 356 line (almost SM like), but with maglev and corner/core magnets that’ll make your solves much more enjoyable. The looser adjustment settings are unusable, but that’s not too big of a deal.
Very good but need set up to get
Used to
is pretty good, has great corner cutting and the feeling of the magnetic core it's very great, and even i think is better than tornado v3 flagship edition
It's perfect, feels like god
super smooth and fast. Only reason I gave it four stars is because it is so fast it's hard to slow it down.
Fast, stable, and little to no setup required. There are no grip issues, as there were on recent X man UV coated cubes. However, after using this cube for about a month, the white center cap broke, as can be seen in the image below. Other than that, this cube is definitely worth the price.
The Gan 356 MagLev is mid for performance and feels fast and dry out of the box. However,iIt has no adjustable magnets or any cool features. Its basically an RS3M V5 but more expensive and its not even that much better and for some reason, the corner to core feet are wobbly. Quality is better than UV moyu cube though but not great, the center caps are ridiculously hard to take off and one of the center caps broke and I had to glue it in. The pricing is also absurd (well not for Gan) and I could have gotten and V9 instead which is a way better cube.
I wanted to like all of the rest. I tried the WRMV10, but the colors and UV don't pop like GAN. Tried Tornado V3, but the magnets and the noise didn't feel solid like GAN. Tried GAN14, and it feels pretty good but still come back to the 356 Maglev every time. I don't know what it is, but something about the speed, light weight, not needing to fiddle with corner magnets, all combined with the GAN quality coating, colors and manufacturing. It just feels quality and feels good in your hands every time!
As others have mentioned, this one will tend to lock up on occasion. The maglev adjustments on this one also favor a much looser center travel than most, so it is a little difficult to find the sweet spot.
Overall, I think this is a real fast and flowy cube that will appeal to those who prefer a loose grip, a light touch, and a casual-fast cubing style.
I don’t know how they did it. It is AMAZING. First things first out of the box for me it was great but I get it a lot of people might not have the same impressions as me. Then you should use the dual adjustment system which is great! Very simple and easy to use. Now me personally I don’t have grip issues but the UV coating feels amazing. The cube comes prelubed and it is super smooth. The corner cutting is perfect. You might pay more than the Tornado v3 or the Wrm v10 but you get Gan quality which disqualifies problems such as a magnet breaking or the uv slowly fading away. I totally recommend this cube. It truly feels like another brand’s flagship.
