    Hey j perm, maybe you can try to take out the long corner magnets and put them into the 11 m pro so there won’t be a catching problem. I don’t have the Gan 12 so I can’t try this but maybe you can? Have a great day and I enjoyed this video like always. Thanks

    i think the problem to that weird lockup in the 12 maglev is when you take a close look in when you misalign the edges, you can see the edge feet got stuck on the other edge. You can see it more clearly when you loosen the cube. That's just my thought tho

    So I got my gan 12 m maglev in, I’m noticing the lockup’s as well but no where near to the same extent. I’ve figured out it’s actually seems like the torpedo on the edge catching the corner. I use a looser setting which maybe why the catching is not as bad. Just a thought ( also yes it is not the magnets just from what I can see it see that when layers are flexing in the right way the edge of the torpedos will catch the corner pieces. I will re edit if I find a way to fix it)

    unpopular opinion - I actually like crunchy sound of GAN 12 m (maglev) .. i really liked the looseness and feel of my old MGC 3 and it "reminds" me a lot of it, even though difference is vast. don't know for sure what is causing it but I think it might be the holes in corner pieces that are slightly catching there.
    have you ever tried to make "hybrid cubes" ? like take pieces of GAN, core from MOYU and tension duds from somewhere else and make some kind of Frankenstein monstrosity :) could be a fun video..

    Just got the 12 maglev and it's amazing, I had a 356x, xs, air sm and 11 m pro as my mains in the past.
    Nothing compares to the 12 maglev, the turning is insanely smooth and clean, the cube is very stable but I don't get the catching issue like you do, maybe you have a defective unit.
    Overall it's definitely worth it but it is fast, if you like slower cubes go with the leap
    9.5/10 if the magnets instead of springs could be perfected it would be a 10/10 since it sometimes feels uneven

    I am actually using a GAN 12 Maglev (I purchased before any review and decided maglev over leap because maglev was more expensive and assumed it must have been better) and I upgrade from a GAN xs. I am using nearly the same setting as your recoomendation (3-3 vs your 3-2).
    I enjoyed this new turning style very much. GAN xs felt like a good quality speed cube but similar to any other speed cube. Maglev is on another level. Maglev felt smooth and super light and fast but at the same time very stable. I am having way fewer mistakes and less issues on allignment.
    After getting used to the new maglev, i had to turn the setting on my gan xs way down since it felt too stiff and required too much force for each turn. And practising on maglev is much easier on my wrist and arm overall. Using XS now felt like using old rubix.
    I do agree on your issue that the force required to turn maglev is not linear. But i think it just takes getting used to. I did have a lot of overshoot or overturning at the beginning.
    I average 25-30 seconds roughly so my usage may differ.

    I only have a standard Rubiks cube so I can't say much about whether this is good or bad, but I'm continually fascinated by how much goes into designing a cube with this many features. I think much of whether it's good or bad is just a form of trade-offs. Maglev reduces friction, but also reduces control, and corner magnets increase chances of cube alignment, but also increases amount of control needed in rotating a side. Somewhere between all these factors is a sweet spot, but everyone has a different sweet spot, so I guess that's why everything's adjustable.

  • @draakisback
    @draakisback 2 роки тому +9

    I hate this cube. One of the big problems I have with it is the implementation of the maglev. Magnets are not the same as springs because of the inverse square law. With springs, there is a linear force gradient as you compress them. But with magnets, the force between them is not linear at all. Basically the force of the magnets is inversely related to the distance between them. As you bring them closer together there is a point where the force will double and a point where it will quadruple etc. As a result, it becomes very hard to have a linear set of settings for two opposing magnets.
    And yet companies have decided to just use the same spring adjustment settings for these new maglev cores which is wrong. It's why some of the settings are just completely unusable. For these maglev settings to actually be somewhat linear, the notches on the adjustment system need to be one half the distance of the one that came before them.
    Also, the gan 12 is way too light and it feels extremely cheap as a result. Plus it catches as Dylan mentioned here. And then there is the core magnet setup, human beings when they turn something they turn it with a constant amount of force. It's just simply easier for us to do it that way, but as was shown this cube does not promote that kind of turning. So to take advantage of the "innovation" of this cube you need to turn in a way that is completely counterintuitive to most human beings. This cube frankly is a huge step back in innovation and it's what happens when a company decides to innovate just for the sake of innovation. Also that price tag is just messed up, at least with the gan 11 you can get a Duo and the duo wasn't nearly as expensive but the gan 12 is just irredeemable.
    Great review Jperm, it's pretty fantastic that you went out and got American money just for that gag. I hope you got a good conversion rate.

    My GAN12 is still stock, it came very dry. Mine doesn't spring back like yours when turning, it only springs forward into place with momentum it will jump forward.
    It feels like less magnet force or the same as My 356 X, which is on the clear magnets.
    The plastic is a bit thin, to the point the walls are squishy, I'm starting to get used to the lightness though.
    I don't get the catches like you do but I think I've encountered hints they're there but haven't narrowed them down. Might be worse in some settings. It reminds me of the catches that are much worse on the GAN smart cubes, they were getting better on the newer ones. I wonder if it's the holes in the insides of the corner pieces used for charging on the smart cubes as there are similar holes on this one.
    Definitely not as smooth and quiet as my 356 X, but I haven't set it up yet. I do prefer it to the 11 M pro which I never got use to, but now I'm starting to like the 11 M as well now.

    • @MichaelPohoreski
      @MichaelPohoreski 2 роки тому

      Interesting that you say the 12 M isn't as smooth as the 356 X. I have both as well and thought my 12 M (Maglev) was smoother but now that I think about it you may be right!
      I love my 356 X which was a huge upgrade to my Gans 356 Air. I feel like the 12 M Maglev is another huge upgrade -- at least for me.
      Initially I didn't like how "airy" and light the Maglev felt but I'm quickly warming up to it and even like it more then my 356X now.
      I just set a new PB of 1:06 with it. I tried the 356 X and set a PB of 1:05. I then tried the Maglev and set a PB of 1:02 so who knows if it really is an upgrade. :-)
      The 12 M is definitely louder then the 356 X. It doesn't bother me but it might some.

    • @Commander_ZiN
      @Commander_ZiN 2 роки тому

      @@MichaelPohoreski I did mention mine also came very dry, I've not set it up yet. I could potentially make it smoother. That was just my out of box experience.
      I'm starting to get used to the lightness too.
      I doubt I can do much about the catching, which is probably worse at higher speeds. Very similar to the catching in the smart cubes so I wonder if it's caused by the holes in the corner pegs.
      I wouldn't judge a cube by your performance with it, your performance will naturally be getting better over time anyway.
      It would be nice if I could blend the 2 cubes. I don't like the thin plastic it's a bit squishy when holding the cube. I also don't like the switches on the edges pieces, I'd rather something internal so it's a smoother surface. Also quietness is important to me. Cubing comfortably means I cube more, means I improve more.

While I personally love the Gan 12 Maglev and don’t regret spending the money on it, It’s still definitely overpriced because it’s so new (relatively). If you’re not sure, I would wait until the price of the Gan 12 Maglev decreases before you purchase it. I like the cube a lot but it’s just really expensive, and it’s certainly posible to be fast with other Gan cubes or cubes of whatever brand you like. I’ve shattered by PB averages and singles with the Gan 12 Maglev, so I’m really happy with it. I’ve gotten a TON of 12 and 13 seconds solves with the Gan 12 Maglev, so purchasing it really worked out for me but that’s because the feel of the cube happens to fit with my turning style. I liked how it felt out of the box so much, that since opening it, I haven’t even lubed or tensioned it at all.
      Overall, I like it a LOT more than the Gan 356 Air SM, However, critics of the Gan 12 Maglev could say that the cube is “too fast” for some people if that makes sense. I think for people who say that about the Gan 12 Maglev, some lube to slow it down could really help that though. So in conclusion, if you’re wary of the super expensive price and don’t wanna drop almost $80 out of pocket for it, I’d say just wait until the cube becomes less expensive with time.

I know I am not as fast as you so I don’t get caught very easily but I do understand your situation. And this cube is VERY expensive so it won’t be good for you. However for me I kept the setting on default cuz I honestly don’t understand how to change it and I really like it! But then again it’s expensive. So for me, this is a great cube. But for other people like maybe complete pros won’t like it because it gets caught and for starters they can’t turn it at a high speed so they can’t get good use out of it while it also being very expensive. So overall I think it depends on the persons level and just their ideal type of cube for how good it is. So I think for every person it’s different.

      Same in Romania, the 12 maglev is 400 ron but with shipping from FedEx its 840 ron it's ridiculous (just the shipping is 440 ron)
      But I can get the epacket shipping which goes only to 450 ron (shipping is 50 ron on its own)
