Upcoming puzzles

Haven't heard of an XMan V or V2 but I think it's an xman cube. Going off topic but.. Any vague ideas on what the GAN 11 M Pro price will be around? It'll be interesting to see GAN competing with other flagships....

Would it be around the $50 - $60 mark or are some of the versions going to be "budget" seeing as though there is going to be 4 or 3 versions of it right?

It should be about the price of around 70 dollars. First of all, since there are less magnets, it should cost less. Second it has primary plastic, so maybe higher? 3rd it has adjustable corner magnets, I don't know how they are going to pull that off, and 4th, it's GAN
 
Yes, It is probably a Xman v2, not a Valk 6. This video was retrospecting upcoming cubes, so I'll make sure to write that its (probably) not the valk 6 in the description.

An expected price. We'll likely see a lot of this tech travel down into their mid-range and budget cubes throughout the next year.
 
If you spam the primary internals and black internals button at the same time on a phone until it lags, it will lower the price of the cube. (just a visual glitch you can’t actually buy it)

I would be happy if this happened, but I doubt it because of what happened about the valk elite. The center-edge magnets were very nice, and had a good bump, but no other cubes used this mech(i think)

Repulsion? Surely you don't want magnets to repel each other in a cube? This sounds like something thecubicle would do for April fools Day...

Or it could just be a bad name decision, we've had a few of those recently.

What if repulsion reduces friction between pieces so it is smoother? Still seems illogical but could be a new concept

Here's a random observation: in the Valk Elite, the magnet polarities are actually set up so that if the centre-edge and corner-edge magnets were at the same radius (they're not, but imagine if they were), they would actually be repelling each other when a layer is turned 45°: there'd be an energy minimum when the layer is fully aligned and an energy maximum when the layer is maximally misaligned. In reality, the radii are too different and the magnetic repulsion is too weak to be relevant.

Still, something to think about.
 
more speculation: modern flagship cubes have only one spot they can't cornercut so if the repulsion magnets prevent the layer from reaching that spot then in theory the cube doesn't lockup as much.

However imo the snappiness of corner cutting is more important than that one spot that is almost never an issue.

This is an interesting idea. Floating magnets like a maglev. If cubers are looking for a unique feel then that would certainly be unique. If any cube designers are reading this, please try it. @cyoubx lol

Hmmm I had the same thought. And if you pair the reduced friction of magnets that repel with with the stability of corner/core magnets we might on to something, whether good or bad...

Although, judging from TheCubicle’s video this cube does look like the repulsion is more for helping you stay out of a 45 degree state, where it is more difficult to corner cut.

In June, The Cubicle and sCs made a video with a Yj Mini Yulong 3x3 M, so this may be it but with a different name, and probably cheap because it's Yj.

Has this puzzle been released? I couldn't find it on the Cubicle's or SCS's website.
