If you really love the feel of GAN cubes and have $60 or $100 or whatever in cash to burn

Your average is irrelevant tho because it's not going to make you significantly faster. Especially if you already have a modern GAN cube.

Especially if you already have a modern GAN cube.

Or pretty much any modern cube.

I heard from Cubemaster's video that the Gan 11 Pro M was estimated to be $100.

OOOOOF thats a LOT of money. But still, if its like less than $30 (which it probally won't be), I will maybe consider buying it.

we've reached the fabled $100 speedcube. memes have become real.

I heard from Cubemaster's video that the Gan 11 Pro M was estimated to be $100.

He also said that it will probably be lower, around 70 or 80$. That is what other sites say too.

 

[EliteCuber]

ok

 

[qwr]

$100 for angstrom or cosmic version then

imo
dont buy a gan cube to be faster,
buy a gan cube if you are fast.
gan cubes are to unstable and fast for most average-intermediate cubers, at my peak i averaged ten and still didn't like the xs

full disclosure: I don't own a GAN cube. I tried my friend's Angstrom GAN X and it was very light and papery. I couldn't get a full opinion on it because he had his magnets set really strong but I don't think they are significantly better than other top cubes. I liked his GTS3M better

they aren't better than other top cubes, its just preference i do know they are a waste of money for most cubers though.
Its a big conspiracy, like people that aren't fast but work for/with cubing stores will be like OmG itS So PeRFeCTLy SmoTH anD SpeED
when they in reality probably don't like it.
mainly because its an expensive cube=more molah from GAN.
(JK this is PROBABLY not true)

I don't think it's a conspiracy so much as top flagship cubes mainly differentiate themselves by feel, and I can believe that if you are a top cuber who averages sub 7 or something than the feel does matter enough for practicing and competitions to justify the cost. I'm slow but I find myself practicing a lot more with cubes I like the feel of.

i said slower cubers,
not fast ones
also that was a simi-joke
and if you're slower and use a gan(and have used other flagships before)
than 90% of the time you wont like the feel,
but people in videos even though they aren't sub 10 or sub 15 or whatever like gan cubes a lot more than you would think.

 

[EliteCuber]

how come a lot of beginner cubers (1min to 1min30sec) have expensive cubes lol

They probably have the mindset that if something is expensive, then it's good.

 

[EliteCuber]

oh lol because I mained a self magnetized Rubixs brand before, and its very well broken in, and to me it feels better than a gan x

I couldn't help notice, but very nice pic of trump holding a curvy copter.

 

[ZB2op]

we don't know the price yet tho

ppl think its gonna be almost $100 so if u want a rlly good gan cube just buy the xs. if i were u i'd stick with ur current cube

 

[PetraPine]

ppl think its gonna be almost $100 so if u want a really good gan cube just buy the xs. if i were u i'd stick with your current cube

People are literally gonna spend 100 dollars on a single ROOBIKS COOBE
i mean that's ridiculous, the xs was 60(or 70 i dont remember) when i released i thought that was expensive but still reasonable.
100? even 80 seems crazy to me, but a wii instead they sell around 90 today(much better value)

 

[zslane]

People have spent more than $100 on flagship cubes with "pro shop" setups, so I guess spending that kind of money on a single 3x3 puzzle is not that crazy, at least not to everyone. I think I would have difficulty spending that much on a single cube unless it had some kind of high collectability factor or something, but to each their own.

I can't find a single premium cube on The Cubicle for more than 70 dollars.
