it's actually pretty good. I still haven't had time to make a review on it.Given the complete lack of videos, I assume it's still nowhere close to the yuhu v2 m

In case you aren't subbed... wtf
the OG YLM was my favorite cube for quite a long time. I’m filming my review of the v2 this weekend. The version with factory magnets was slightly disappointing compared to all the ones I added magnets to myself IMO. Hopefully this version is a bit better but I’m not terribly optimistic.it's actually pretty good. I still haven't had time to make a review on it.

Lol you clearly quoted the post with a video of the mega. I’m and idiot.Oh I meant the V3 megaminx
Really intrigued by the ability to swap internal plastic. Disappointing we won't get all 4 options if we purchase the puzzle when it releases. That, coupled with the "light airy" feeling not meshing with my turning style means this probably won't be a pre order for me. Maybe if reviews are exceptional for it.In case you aren't subbed... wtf
To add to that, the quadruple spring concept just feels weird and redundant to me. Why is it even there?Really intrigued by the ability to swap internal plastic.

Gan lowering prices sounds pretty good.....it looks cool.
but I'm not sure looks are worth $45.
Then again I bought the Tornado and WRM 2021 purely because of looks... but those were also sub-$30. cubes.
imo a brand new company trying to launch at almost Gan-Like prices is a pretty risky move. It's a bold move. ... almost an insulting move.
If I see it on sale for less than $30. I'll pick it up.
There are other new cubes I want to try also that are under $30. like the Qiyi MP 3x3 and the Yuxin little magic v3 M,.. ... under $30. is a sweet spot. They're not "cheap" but they don't give you sticker shock.
The Gan 12 maglev being $80. and this Peak one being $45.
Nah,.. I'll wait for a massive sale price to hit them first.
Especially Gan and an $80. 3x3,... just .... no.
You (we?) gotta put our foot down at some point and say, "no I'm not paying that for a 3x3 speed cube."
I guarantee if the entire cubing community boycotted Gan, they'd lower the prices. They're charging what they can because people pay it. And I'm guilty of it too since I have over a dozen Gan cubes. But they keep raising prices and now we have brand new unproven cube companies popping up with $45. cubes because we've allowed Gan to set a precedent.
At most, $20-$25 is really about all these cubes should cost. Even the most fancy ones.
If we keep allowing this soon Moyu and everyone else will jack up the price of their cubes.
/soapbox rant/
Definitely. When the cubicle released their interview with the Gan founder the particular moment below concerned me. Many people are buying Gan cubes so his point is valid though.You (we?) gotta put our foot down at some point and say, "no I'm not paying that for a 3x3 speed cube."
Yeah, I was thinking about it, and I’ve actually kind of started doing it. I really hope other people do the same, because $80 is outrageous. Sadly, people won’t because for some reason they believe that they will get something with a Gan cube that they won’t get with another brand.I guarantee if the entire cubing community boycotted Gan, they'd lower the prices.

I actually disagree with this, because of how Moyu and Qiyi have been trending recently. The GTS3 was $35, the WRM 2019 was $39, the WRM 2020 was $35, and the WRM 2021 is only $27 ($23 for the lite version, $30 to get it with maglev), not to mention the RS3M line. As for Qiyi, they went from the Valk Elite at $45, down to the Tornado v2, which is $25, and is arguably better. Along with the Tornado, Qiyi has also made a couple very good budget 3x3s. Overall, the prices of cubes from these 2 companies are going down, which makes them even more of an obvious buy over Gan’s cubes.If we keep allowing this soon Moyu and everyone else will jack up the price of their cubes.
It looks to me that spring noise will be completely eliminated with this system. They will all be rotating independently around the axis.To add to that, the quadruple spring concept just feels weird and redundant to me. Why is it even there?
Yes we do, but it is in Christchurch.It looks to me that spring noise will be completely eliminated with this system. They will all be rotating independently around the axis.
Looks like a cool idea, but could be just for the sake of being different, as opposed to being better.
I find the problem with the expensive cubes is that you have to buy one to test it, generally speaking. It would be neat to have a physical shop where one could try out flagships. Afaik we don't have one in NZ.
Dang the release trailer music is cool.It looks like a teaser/promotional video was posted 5 months ago about the Peak Cube. The description says "It took a whole year and five months from development to manufacturing to production."
The second video is all hype. The marketing team is really stepping up their game.
