Product Information

Full details

The GAN 356 R S is designed for both competitive speedcubers and dedicated enthusiasts who demand high-performance hardware for faster solve times. Its primary benefit is the combination of advanced internal core-edge positioning and the versatile GES V3 tuning system, which allows for a customized turning experience; however, users should be aware that the cube requires initial setup time to dial in the tension settings to their personal preference.

FAQs

Does this cube come pre-lubricated?

The cube comes with a factory-applied light lubrication to ensure smooth performance out of the box.

Can I replace the springs in the GES V3 system?

While the GES V3 is designed for dual-adjustment, the internal spring tension can be modified by utilizing the included adjustment system.

Is the GAN 356 R S magnetic?

This model utilizes a high-precision core-edge positioning system, but it is not a magnetic variant of the GAN series.

How do I adjust the tension?

Use the provided plastic adjustment tool to turn the GES nuts clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen the spring tension.

Is the stickerless design competition legal?

Yes, stickerless cubes are fully compliant with WCA (World Cube Association) competition standards.

What is the best way to clean the cube?

Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using water or chemical solvents as they may degrade the plastic and lubricants.

Troubleshooting

The cube feels too tight or 'catchy' during turns.

Use the GES adjustment tool to loosen the nut tension slightly on each side until the desired fluidity is achieved.

One corner piece keeps popping out.

Check if the tension is too loose. Tighten the GES nuts incrementally and ensure the internal core is properly seated.

Performance feels inconsistent across sides.

Verify that all six GES nuts are set to the same numeric or color-coded tension setting to ensure uniform feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly customizable tension and elasticity settings
Excellent corner-cutting performance for fast algorithms
Durable, long-lasting stickerless plastic design
Lightweight feel reduces hand fatigue
Stable core prevents unexpected lock-ups

Cons

Requires manual calibration for optimal performance
Frosted finish may show minor scratches over time
Advanced tuning system may be intimidating for absolute beginners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your cube, start by adjusting the GES nuts to a neutral setting to get a baseline for your turning style. Ensure the cube is kept on a flat, clean surface to prevent debris from entering the internal core mechanisms. For maintenance, periodically wipe the frosted exterior with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain grip. If the turning becomes sluggish, apply a very small amount of silicone-based speedcube lubricant to the tracks of the pieces, being careful not to over-lubricate, as this can attract dust.
