Did I get the right cube?

Sorry if I’m posting in the wrong area, this is my first post on this site. My son recently wanted a new cube and we decided to order the Gan 11 M Pro. I found it on Amazon for $45 and it had a 4.8 star review from 100s of reviews. I would assume the cube is legit but I had one concern after taking it apart. We were getting ready to change the magnet rods that click into the corners and I realized that the rods that were in the cube were round and white and the spare magnet rods that it came with were round and light blue. All the videos I’ve watched online show the rods to be triangle and the spare rods to be hexagon…I’m wondering if this is something they changed with the 11 M Pro or maybe I got scammed and it isn’t a legit 11 M Pro. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

This isn’t help about the actual question (sorry idk anything about that) but I’d recommend not buying off of amazon because stuff like this can happen where you might get scammed. If you live in US, check out SpeedCubeShop or TheCubicle, but yeah I don’t even have a gan cube so I can’t help with your question
Also welcome to the forums!

Yes, that is the right cube. The thing with the magnet rods is due to a recent change with the plastic molds for the cube. This is a slightly older cube, being from 2020, and cubes often get slight changes made as they get older. They changed the magnet rods in the Gan 11 to match the rods of the Gan 16 and 17, the newest cubes from the brand. The reviews that say the magnet rods are different shapes are just outdated.
