I would have to recommend the yuxin little magic but I'm not sure if it counts as budget, I think it might have to be in the 'great' category. The yufu V2M definitely counts as budget and is definitely better than all the other budget 7x7s that k have tried.

Welp, I'm stoked! Hopefully I'll still be in Taiwan by the time this releases so I can buy it firsthand!
Also, wow, the black version looks sick!

I tried a CM3. I personally wasn't impressed.
It had a really cheap and hard plasticy feel like its sibling the cx3. I was surprised to learn that it was magnetic after the fact; you can barely feel them.
I mean, it's new, but I certainly wouldn't say it's better or as good as a Valk or an X.

Where did you try it? I am really curious.
The one I tried is really good, maybe it just need some break in.

It seems like a cool idea. Unless it is way overpriced (which it very well could be) I think we should give it a chance.

Yes, it looks really cool! However, I don't think many cubers will get it since it is not that useful and it is expected to be so expensive.
I hate to be the rotten apple, but I think GAN is pulling an Apple move on this.
The GAN robot only works on a GAN356i, and I'm more than confident that most people that actually know about the GAN i aren't at a stage to where they will need a robot that can solve it optimally.
If this accessory only works on a cube which is already overpriced compared to its main competition, I really don't see the point in any cuber actually buying this. I would've personally wanted to see an improved 4x4 design more than this, which I know could've certainly been developed between today and the release of the 356x.
Edit: this wouldn't even work as a scrambler for WCA-Scramble sessions since it can't even use U or D moves, meaning this is no better than hand scrambling, which is something that takes me no more than three-five seconds to actually do.

Scrambling a 3x3 only takes me under 10 seconds.... really, I don't know why Gan would make such a thing. If they continue with these sorts of things, they will end up like Dayan and Fanxin, with very little support from the cubing community. What we need from Gan is new innovative ideas (not robots that solve cubes that will probably be waaaaay overpriced and unnaffordable to most cubers) like their GES system and GMS that is unique to Gan. Honestly, I think they should adopt Moyu's system used on the gts3m, and go from there.
Like Dayan had its days of glory where every cuber used them, Gan will only follow if they continue along this path.
Not related but the scrambler/bot, but I'm one of these people who got themselves a Gan X after decades of never having more than a rubiks brand (which I knew how to solve, but didn't use all that often, because I'm not a masochist).
Having a nice cube doesn't make one instantly faster, but it's enjoyable (so smooth, so quiet) and it makes me want to spend more time cubing. I'm in my 40s and the cost of the cube doesn't make much of a difference - frankly, there are many hobbies one could have that are a lot more expensive than cubing.

Come on, they even name their products the same.
Gan air, macbook air
gan x, iphone x
gan r, iphone xr
Also they are really overpriced.
