On the Gan Beta Testing Page, they state you could win a GAN Bluetooth timer. By the looks of it, it connects to the I/Play?

Why does that timer look like its carved from a purple mattress?

Also the qiyi one looks like someone slapped a different cover on a regular speedstacks timer.

Not gonna lie, the full size YJ timer is probably the best timer you can get since the reset and off buttons are on the side, making timer resets basically impossible to do accidentally.

The QiYi ones looks good quality. If they can beat regular SpeedStacks timers which sometimes glitch and go for $30 (QiYi could probably sell them for half) then it'll be worth it and I might pick one up.

Does WCA allow other timers?

I'm not sure but I have never seen any other timer used in comp so I think it could be illegal. I would highly recommend the full size (not the pocket one) YJ timer though since timer resets are virtually removed due to the buttons being on the side and not the face

No the WCA doesn't currently allow any other timers but I think the reasoning for that is reliability so I suspect if the QiYi ones can be shown to be as reliable as speedstacks ones then maybe the WCA will allow them.

Any word on this by now?
Some people are saying Kylin v3 and factory magnetized YLM.
That would be a big hit.
Wait, now I think about it, this was announced about 1 or 2 weeks after the MS, technically one of the best budget magnetic cubes which world class speedcubers are mainjng, then the RS3M was announced, then this post. I am heavily thinking flagship level budget cube. Whatever it is, it ends in 3, so that just supports this theory. Sorry if I got the order wrong tho

It is a 13x13, look at the reflection.
