Coogam GAN 356R Speed Cube Gans 356 R 3×3 Stickerless Gan356 R 3x3x3 Speedcube GES V3 System

THIS CUBE IS AMAZING!!!
This cube if very comfort and a very nice design the corner cutting oh dont even think about that the corner cutting are the best. I bought this and this is very nice i recommend buying this. The other thing is the packaging it is so good and so smooth. But the cube should be magnetic but idk why they didnt put any . but So all so good. This is very good. There should be a bag too.

Play Speed Cube very fast. My kid really enjoys playing this one.
My kid asked for this brand particularly. He had few already, but he said not very smooth. He really wanted this one (maybe heard from his friends.) Although it’s expensive to me (higher price than the previous one I bought), but he was very happy after got this one. I was thinking playing speed cube is much better than playing computer game, so I made the purchase. Now he carries it everyday, and he really enjoys it. I am glad that I made the decision to buy this brand.He also asked me to buy a small bottle of oil. Not sure whether he has used the oil or not.

best toy
bought this for son and he loves, i have bought a few of rubic’s cube and he loves playing with it,

e
no magnets even though it had them in one of the pictures and no gan bag no tension tools its good but i feel like i got a bit scammed its really fast though really good but could be alot better

Me encanta! Ya tenía uno pero ni punto de comparacion con este! Se mueve y gira genial, va muy suave y puedes ir más rápido!

This is a review for the new GAN 356R that is set to debut worldwide on November 5, 2018.I jumped on the bandwagon very early, literally the day it became available on Amazon via Prime 1-Day shipping. The other alternative is to place orders for China shipment, which will take a month if you are lucky.There was a small window of opportunity to buy this on speedcubeshop.com but they quickly sold out and I missed the boat.This is an entry level cube that is being offered as a direct replacement for the GAN 356S V2.The cube out of the box is lubed and tensioned basically perfectly. The cube is typical GAN, excellent fit, finish and attention to detail, despite being the one of the least expensive entry to a GAN puzzle. The turning is smooth and fast, faster than I prefer. I have the GAN Air SM and the GAN 354M for comparison. I also have the GAN 356X on preorder at the cubicle.It comes only with default GES V3 yellow nuts installed, which is what I default to anyways, and the majority of people seem to do as well for the popular GAN GES puzzles.In the box, the puzzle is simply inserted along with the thick GAN pamphlet and plastic GES tri-nut tensioner tool. Overlying the set is a familiar blue velvet GAN cube carrying bag, a very nice touch. There are no other nut options, though, you can buy a set of GES nuts easily enough very cheaply. The price point at $17-$18 means basically no alternative GES nuts, and notably no clear plastic box that you might expect with other GAN puzzles.I found that my typical GAN GES setup, which includes applying Traxxas 30K to the nuts liberally provided enough velvety smooth turning slowdown to make the cube very controllable. The GAN 354M is a fair direct comparison but the two cubes are completely different beasts. In comparison, the 354M seems much faster and it did not take so much lube to slow the 356R down by comparison. Something to keep in mind, as it would be very possible to overlube the 356R and then it would be a chore to clean out those nuts.Let’s now dive into the design of the cube specifically. The most notable and most apparent is the consequences of the key areas in which GAN is moving their design philosophy, mainly, the extensive honeycombing between friction points, the seamless contact surfaces, and the move to snap joints in the individual color panels on this cube, which comes only in the stickerless configuration.This has significant effects on the feel of the cube: fast, smooth, and quiet. These are all delivered in spades. That’s exactly what you will get with this cube.Unfortunately, there is a very real problem with the use of the snap joint color panels on the assembly and where they interface with the seams on the cubies. When turning the cube, you might experience a clicking / catching sensation. I actually bought two 356R cubes, and returned one due to excessive clicking and catching. The one I decided to keep exhibited this problem much less, on just a couple of faces.The way I was able to eliminate this completely was to gently shave off a hair of excess plastic where the colored panel interfaces with the black internal plastic on the cubie on the middle layer. Any clicking or catching happens between the top or bottom layer sliding past the middle layer (or to phrase it differently, where the left or right layer slides past the middle layer). By scraping away a hair of plastic at the edge of the middle layer panels, this will eliminate the catching or clicking sensations completely. The tolerances on a GAN puzzle are very tight and precise, but for this particular cube, you might note a catching problem when the edge of the color panel overhangs the black internal support.Finally, one last comment about the color scheme. The best cube to directly compare this one to is teh 354M. Unlike the GAN 354M, which has a “full bright” stickerless color scheme that is a joy to behold, the GAN 356R has a standard color scheme that is very dull by comparison and particularly the green shade is just really bordering on a turquoise color that is not as nice as the 354M. I posted a picture to compare the colors on both cubes.Overall, the GAN 356R has a lot going for it that makes it a good buy particularly at the price point of $17-$18. It’s a solid performer that has some quirks as noted above, with the mechanism and the choice of colors.
