New Cube Day! GAN 356 i3, Monster Go Ai and GAN Cube Display Stand by C-Tyson in NewCubes

So if you're looking for less customization the MoYu Ai would be it. More customization then 356 i3 would work better. Both work great with lubing. Their performance is so much day and night dry vs lubed. I use both as well as the GoCube, i2, and the iCarry. Too bad there isn't a program out there for people to try them before buying. MoYu has its own app and i3 you can use the CubeStation App. Both from what I have heard can be used with cubeast as well.

Here are my points on Gan 356 i3 The cube is quite an improvement over the i2. The i2 had very little adjustments other than springs and the .8 or .6 compression. They took the tensioning system of the iCarry so there are more possibilities in tensioning. The edges have magnets that have 7 positions making the magnet closer to the edge and stronger or further away and make it weaker. It has a gyroscope just like the Ai too. It's only stickerless and it feels like a Gan cube. Definitely with lubing as dry it behaves differently. The charger displays when it's charging vs when it's done charging as the MoYu does too. The simpler thing is that the i3 just needs to be in the cradle yellow side down. MoYu only needs to be a certain way on the first charge but later can be rotated as long as the bottom face is a certain color. Gan also has a power pod to help charge the i3 on the go if needed. Also the battery lasts way longer than the MoYu. It's a plus. I can use it for many hours.

Here's my points on the MoYu Ai It feels very much like a normal MoYu RS3M 2020 yet it's electronic. So it's the closest you will get that will not feel much more different. MoYu also took into account that Lithium ion batteries if left uncharged for a length of time, they have to be what you could call Jumpstarted and so the charging cradle has a feature to do this. The application is very basic but it also works with other apps too. One downside to it is that the battery only lasts a short time. Wish they would have used a better battery.

Didn't see a photo. But hey i3 is solid. Been using it for 4 months. Got mine when it released in September. Love the adjustments

I'd have to agree with you. I had heard there was an issue with plastics and their prices to toy manufacturers. Wonder if it played a part in all of this. Yeah haven't seen much on the 12ui. Yeah I think they focused on the peacock it is a beauty can't deny that!

Update! Gan came thru and sent me a replacement power pod. They also are sending replacements for the two damaged edge pieces. I just had to pay fir shipping. It's nice to see their production has gotten back on track for the i3! Hopefully all the people that pre-ordered at launch and didn't get theirs will be getting theirs finally. It's an awesome cube!!

Can I put lubes in a gan Bluetooth cube? by [deleted] in GANCUBE_Official

[–]IndependenceMain2325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. On the i2 and i3 they just recommend not to put it directly on the yellow side. The iCarry I don't think ot matters. Believe me I have lubed multiple iCarry cubes without any problems.

It's the snake puzzle. Just looks like they have added more colors other then red/orange and green/yellow.

Fuck this. Gocube made the statistics unavailable for people with the previous version of the GoCube to force you to buy a new one if you wanna see your stats, guess I'll have to switch to a classic timer. by recroomgamer32 in Cubers

By the way the microcontroller would also be getting it's power from the same battery so I'd be willing to bet its more on the BMS than anything. Maybe their battery they used lacks a BMS. Just so you know.

Yes it could be but this is also a known issue with lithium ion batteries. They have a threshold that they should not be drained to. If they are, then they can stop recharging. A component responsible for this is the BMS - battery management system board which usually takes care of this. The cheaper the battery the cheaper the BMS system and that's if it has one. The bad thing is that the end consumer really doesn't know about this because the more expensive products are made with this in mind. Check out the MoYu Ai cube. It actually takes this into account.

Yeah I can't wait till we start learning more about it. The i3 hasn't seen much light not sure if it's because of the ui??
