GAN 356 M magnetic 3x3 speed cube — adjustable GES+ tuning, visible magnets (mid-range)

The GAN 356 M is a 3x3 magnetic speed cube that delivers fast, precise turns and adjustable tension for beginners and advancing solvers alike.

Designed by GAN, a leader in competitive cubing, the 356 M blends visible magnets, an accessible tuning system, and durable construction to create a mid-range speed cube that performs well in practice and casual competition. It balances smoothness, stability, and ease of setup so you can focus on learning algorithms, improving times, or simply enjoying a fidget-friendly puzzle.

How does the GAN 356 M feel when you turn it?

Turns on the 356 M are quick and controlled thanks to visible magnets and a plastic core that stabilizes each layer. The inner honeycomb surface reduces friction and holds lubricant, while classical corner feet preserve clean corner-cutting and anti-pop behavior.

• Visible embedded magnets for predictable layer alignment.
• Honeycomb inner surfaces decrease friction and keep lube longer.
• Classical corner feet support reliable corner-cutting and anti-pop.

Can I tune the GAN 356 M to match my preferred feel?

Yes — the cube includes GAN's GES+ (GAN Elastic System) with two adjustable distance slots, letting you quickly change elasticity and tension without disassembling the puzzle. You can experiment with softer or firmer settings until the cube feels right in your hands.

• Two distance slots for easy push-and-twist adjustments.
• GES+ enables both tighter and looser configurations.
• Simple on-the-fly tuning ideal for learners and intermediate cubers.

What components make the 356 M durable for regular practice?

The 356 M combines a plastic core with reinforced corner and edge designs to extend lifespan under frequent use. Anti-scratch outer coatings and quality molding reduce wear, while internal engineering helps prevent pops and maintains smooth motion over thousands of solves.

• Plastic core designed for stability and longevity.
• Anti-scratch outer surface for cleaner aesthetics during heavy use.
• Internal design minimizes pops and torsional instability.

Will the GAN 356 M improve my solving accuracy?

Visible magnets and consistent corner-cutting make layer alignment easier, which helps reduce misalignments and lockups during solves. While improvement depends on practice, the cube's predictability and tunability remove many hardware-related obstacles to building faster, more reliable execution.

• Magnets guide layers into position for more accurate turns.
• Consistent corner-cutting reduces forced regrips and errors.
• Easy tuning allows you to refine the cube as your skill progresses.

Who is this for: The GAN 356 M is suited for kids, hobbyists, and intermediate speedcubers who want a feature-rich, affordable magnetic 3x3. It’s a strong choice for learners upgrading from basic cubes, anyone who wants quick tuning without taking the cube apart, or players who appreciate a smooth, stable feel with visible magnets and durable finishes.
