Yeah, it’s GAN, widely considered (outside of these forums) to be the best 3x3 manufacturer for a price that is $3 more expensive than your oh-so-precious, defend it till the day of my death, MGC3 elite. So yeah, it’s Gan.

I don't use an MGC Elite, I use a WR M, but for 6, 7, and 2 I will use MGC,

TLDR; Gan advertises itself as the cutting edge, but that could not be farther from the truth not to mention a lack of good hardware for all but 3 events (3x3, OH, Megaminx).


Yes, let me spend 20 dollars on a cube that is literally UNUSABLE WITHOUT MAGNETS and spend 30 on a cube that has existed for more than a year but we are just going to resell it without the "innovation". And no, I don't main the MGC Elite. But the rest of the MGC NxNs are fantastic and used by people on the highest level. Remember when gan made a 4x4? I wish I didn't because that thing was a 60 dollar hunk o junk that is outperformed by a 7 dollar 4x4 to a humiliating degree. Also, I would like to mention that at this point in time I don't think that anyone can say that a company produces the best 3x3. When the performance is as good as it is today, it's hard to argue that one company makes better 3x3s then another. Also, where do they regard GAN as the best 3x3 manufacturer? Once you are decently fast unless you have a specific turning style then gan cubes just arent the best. Look at this post I made here

I'm not sure if anyone else sees this at competitions but in my area, I notice that on average the faster a person is the less likely they are to use a gan cube. When I staff I see all of these people that avg 1:15-45 on 3x3 and most of them use the X or XS. Once you get into the final round the most common cube is the WRm followed by Valk variants, GTS3s, and then MF3RS3s and Tengyuns. At the final round of 3x3 that happened in my area, there was only 1 person using a gan cube.

Gan is the apple of cubing except, unlike apple products they aren't easy to use. But like apple products, they have a price tag that does not justify the product. Gan has also been using the same kind of mechanism since the Air and there have not been that many performances leaps since then for Gan products outside of their megamix (Ill get to that later). The only thing that gan has done right IMO is making spring swaps easy and have the first interchangeable magnet system. Then moyu made a better system for both of those for less than 1/2 of the price. Then gan said, "Oh, Look at this new spring mechanism and magnet mechanism that is completely new and fresh and not copied at all." The magnets are just a straight rip from the EDM, no question about it. Debatably the new tensioning system is not a copy from moyu, but they still ditched the spring swaps for a moyu style dual compression and just added a numerical IPG then called it a day. For a company that prides itself on innovations, this is embarrassing. There is also a severe lack of good puzzles outside of 3x3. The megaminx is used by top solvers, but that's the only cube I see widely used that is not a 3x3. Their 251 was decent and used by a few people but was just not as good as the Valk 2. Once gan can start making hardware that is not the same 3x3 mech with slight alterations in the plastic AND can make competitive puzzles in at least 1/2 of the events, then I will consider GAN to be in the top 5 manufacturers.

If you are so supportive of GAN cubes, why are you even in this thread? Have your own opinion, fine but please do not use this thread to press your opinions if you support GAN. This is for people who support YJ cubes. Create a GAN thread if you want
