But at first it was completely ok then it got worse and I think many people have the same problem.

When you get used to a cube, you start to subconsciously abuse it. Most likely your turning style has gotten worse since you got it.
I would recommend cleaning it out, re-setting it up, and tensioning to try to fix the problem.

Ok thanks I will try

if you can, post a video so we can diagnose if you are turning too aggressively

I have a problem with my rs3m 2020 too. It doesn't corner cut anymore. Well, it does, but it's very difficult even at about 20-25 degrees (reverse corner cut is worse). I already cleaned every single piece of the cube, and tried the other screw settings but it doesn't change. Has anybody an idea of what happened and how to fix it?
And I don't know if it's related but inside the center pieces there was something black-grey that dirtied the centers (only inside).
Just to add some other information: lube hasn't arrived yet, so I've never lubed my cube since I got it (2 months ago)

The black-Grey stuff you mentioned is just residue that has been created because of the spring/screw grinding the plastic. It's natural and I think can be prevented by luring the core. Lube also might affect corner cutting.

Probably just needs break in. Do 50-100 solves.
ok i will try it

Probably something slow like nebula, and personally I like stock settings

I just received my gan 11 m pro today, and the cube is just impossible to control. A normal force flick turn frequently turns the cube 1.5 or even 2 full turns, and I've got the cube on the tightest settings. I get so many lock ups during solves because of it. Is there any way to salvage it or is it just not the cube for me?

I’d recommend loosening to help alleviate the lockup’s from tightness and use a thick lube to slow the cube down. I personally go to angstrom dignitas and gravitas for adding control and reducing a. It if speed to my cubes.
That’s my $0.02
Can someone give me some tips on this?

Personally I haven't been able to find any good tensions for myself so I have no idea. Imo it isn't a very good cube, so you will just have to figure out what you like best
Ok thanks I’ll try to find some good tensions and put them in here

YOU WERE RIGHT! Now my cube cuts everywhere! It's just incredible
Hi, I am beginner for about 4 months. Using 3x3. Average about 60-70 seconds.
This is my think 4. new cube - GAN 356X V2. I had it about 1 months.
This cube is not tight enough. It is to soft.
I thought that is not loose like that. I set on highest setting and still I can put finger between cube corner/edge and rotate corner and edges with fingers.
Why is that loose?
I have cheap QY3031 cube, which is great and sometimes I am faster than this GAN cube. Because gan cube is so loose that sometimes stuck when want to rotate a side.
That was why I bought this cube, thought that have so many options for setup, but higher settings are too weak for me, and no setting to become more tight.
So, tell me is other GAN cube so too loose? Is there some tighter?
