@Fukuoka Kengo James
I notice TheCubicle lists the HONG as being
60.8mm*60.8mm*60.8mm in size

Do you happen to know the size of the Gan 562? (or anyone else, chip in)
orrr
Does the 562 mean it's still just @ 62mm...? *sigh*

Yes the 62 is 62mm

 

[artless1der]

Yes the 62 is 62mm

Ty ... *sigh*
After using the Valk 5 (specs say 62 but mine measures at 61.4mm) and the AoChuang WRM,
as well as Meilong 5M (60mm) and YJ Zhilong Mini 5×5 (58mm)
I feel like the optimal 5×5 size is probably 60-61mm

but hey I don't like 3×3's bigger than 55.5mm or smaller than 54mm...
sooo . . . I guess I'm good!

Tymon said the Gan 5x5 is the best. In the comments he said he tried the Hong and didn't like it. He said he'd even pick the Valk over the Hong.
That could just be personal preference, tho.

It’s probably just personal reference. Pretty much every video I’ve seen about the Hong have all been very positive.

GAN 356 M Standard Magnetic Speedcube freeshipping - Cubuzzle

Are ShengShou seriously putting maglev in the cheapest master pyraminx on the market?

How cheap?
Also is it magnetic or have a locking mech for turns?

I will be ordering some soon so will find out, I suspect I will be selling them for £8

"Gan公开了2024年的新品计划，今年会逐个上架。Gan 15系列，Gan 2阶，Gan 4阶，Gan 5阶，Gan Megaminx，Gan SQ1，Gan 新智能，Gan 更高阶魔方。推测接下来的新品是 Gan 14 Maglev Pro，新智能产品，可能有Gan 356 i carry 2 S，Gan Robot 等。"

This is a statement from a reputable cube tester @ NOANOSTALGIA.

This loosely translates to:
Gan has disclosed its new product plan for 2024, which will be launched one by one this year. Gan 15 series, Gan 2nd level, Gan 4th level, Gan 5th level, Gan Megaminx, Gan SQ1, Gan new intelligence, Gan higher level Rubik's Cube. It is speculated that the next new product will be Gan 14 Maglev Pro, a new smart product that may include Gan 356 i carry 2 S, Gan Robot, etc.

 

[OtaMota]

I guess a new 2-5 will come out.

 

[vidcapper]

A cubic 14x14!

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Also, a magnetized Teraminx in the way.

They already said 4th level and 5th level, assuming that means 4x4 and 5x5,
so what does "Gan higher level Rubik's Cube" mean? 6x6 and 7x7?

They’re skipping a GAN 13 smart cube? Lol
Edit: oh wait I misread it never mind.
