    17:13 makes sense about separate timelines and infinite universes just by looking at the sick boxes.
    GAN 13 - They tried to shoot for space with the complex magnetic system
    GAN 14 - They dialed it far and decided to reach for the sky with thousands of tuning adjustments
    GAN 15 - They chose to travel back to the 12 to make a better future.

    It's cool to see the evolution of GAN cubes over the past few years, and I like that they go back to basics on the 15 when it comes to customization.

    I'm still using my gan 11 m pro. All you cube tubers went completely crazy when it came out saying it changed everything, best cube ever. When the next few came out everyone seemed to have a complaint or two so I didn't want to change. I honestly don't know how a cube could perform better for me. I'm a 30 second solver so 11 m pro and above doesn't really matter, the cube performs beyond my ability anyway. Wish they'd been $40 when they were new though, I paid the old day price for two of them, I got a backup I loved it so much.

It's a really great cube, I do like the 11m pro best though, it feels more under control for me because I'm not fast enough for a cube as fast as the wrm. It's probably my second favorite cube though.

    Great video! This is just the perfect overview I needed. I just got a new gan 12 for my first comp since I had the 12 ui before that and it felt AMAZING! I used to main the 13 before getting the 12 ui, I thought it was good but very quickly changed my mind after getting the 12 ui, I honestly dont really like the 15 because I turn quite aggressively sometimes and the fact that I cant adjust it to my turning style is a huge problem for me. I literally need the strongest magnets on earth because I never finish a turn 100%, i just jump to the next one, I got this problem after getting my first magnetic cube, that's when I got this pretty bad habit of just being lazy to finish turns completely. fun fact I dont even have fast tps and I turn aggressively which honestly doesnt make since. Thank you if you read all of that! 😅😅😅

    To be honest I absolutely love gan cubes (I've got the 12 Leap and Maglev-), but my turning style is pretty aggressive and they tend to favor light turning, so recently i ended up switching to the Moyu Weilong v10 and the Tornado V4 (both spring versions) and so far they do suit me, but don't quite feel as premium as the Gan stuff.

That is actually false, the magnet adjustment actually adjusts the core magnets in the corners, you can see in the video while he’s adjusting the magnet strength that the core magnets in the corner are actually moving.

      Yeah, butttttttt what's the best in your opinion? (No price, accessories, e.t.c included)

      It 100% is, don't waste your money on any of those. And I'm still not convinced that the 15 is worth upgrading from the 12. You're fine with that cube.

      ​@@OS-ez9rehe said at the end that he thinks the 15 is the best. But i am not convinced, they seem pretty similar in performance.

    There was a Gan 10 as the iphone 10 was actually iPhone X, and before the 11 we had the Gan XS!

    Hey tingman, i noticed the case that the 12 maglev came in was the same as the 11 m pro (the case that flings open when you press the gan logos) but on the speedcubeshop and cubicle website the 12 maglev comes with a different case? Just confused cause i would really like the gan 11 case

    When i got my 13 maglev uv, i could've sworn it was $99.99 or within $15 of that range, although I was crazy and my next cubes were the kunlun which i think is a stickered 13 but glitter, and I've got an aurora which I think is a 14 but clear, but the red is so definitely pink it always throws me off, them i got the 356 i carry s which is pretty nice budget smart cube but i just ordered a 12 ui maglev 10 anniversary edition because I really really really want my smart cube to have gyro and the translucent plastic doesn't look like it sacrifices color opacity, but that one hasn't arrived quite yet, and that's not counting my moyu collection, but other than the original 13 maglev, i bought weird limited edition ones, but I'm pretty sure the new cubes were all around $100 when they first came out
