im excited for gan 17

I actually don't like that internal color... idk, it, it just looks wrong.

The special Southern Cross edition V100 here, unboxed by Feliks.

Green internals! I'm glad it's a different green, duller and darker, than the green colour of the pieces. I hope Gan learned the lesson and will avoid using the same colour as the pieces, esp if it's a bright one, for internals

I myself think dark purple is best for internal colour. Like in the Weilong Maglev (2021, I think).

I just like black

Im sorry I did not know this thread existed

20-magnet core. 70g. This is apparently still a prototype but very close to the final production version.

My question is - will there be a V200? With similar design but smaller, lighter, and more reasonably priced?

Why will the naming scheme be v200 ?

Not gonna make a link to it, but the saocube v56 is literally just a waverider v2 lol

Just guessing. After V100, isn't V200 the logical name for the next 55mm value model with "Magdrive"? Calling it a V100 Max is not right, given the significant differences. What do you think?

are endlessly faster cubes even a good thing - surely there's just gonna come a point where gan's cubes are so fast that they're impractical

How would fast cubes be impractical?

There will always be a wonder kid who can get a higher TPS on a faster cube and continue breaking records yo.

I do not see massive innovations in the Gan 17 compared to the previous Gan 3x3s yo.

I guess, and I get that the human limit keeps getting redefined, but surely they will eventually just stop being "fast" and become uncontrollable?

The cube will be uncontrollable for amateurs and they would avoid buying it.

Uncontrollability is a subjective term.

There will always be improvement with faster times. We just have to see the improvements in the log scale rather than the linear scale and be scared that the human limits are near.

I would think so, here’s a screenshot of part of an email I got from GAN right around new years hinting towards their 2026 cubes:

It also mentioned the GAN17, the 16 UI, and the Chinese new year edition cubes, and though I don’t know anything about the v200 being MagDrive, I still do think we will have a v200.
