Customers praised this lightweight, fast-turning magnetic 2x2 puzzle for smooth performance and corner cutting. Many noted "great quality" and improved solve times. However, weak magnets were a common complaint, with some saying they're "almost unnoticeable." Tension adjustment can be tricky. Despite mixed feedback on value, most found it "very good for the price."

  • Turns really fast and has put my average under 7 seconds!
  • Turns smoothly, controllable. Very good cube for both beginners and pros.
  • The corner cutting and smoothness is the best I've ever felt on any cube.

ultimate mid

yes this cube is a gan, so its okay. but I PERSONALLY don't like it. the magnets are very weak and unadjustable. the gan ges system on 2x2 in particular is a massive pain. its super sensitive to tweaks and will change during solves. corner cutting is mid and the cube isn't very forgiving of sloppy turning. that said, it's decently fast but definitely not a $26 cube! would not recommend. I will say it's not bad and im sure the pro is way better and possibly worth the money if you're good, the extra adjustment and convenience is very valuable. this cube is in an awkward middle ground tho and I don't like it

Loud but great

This is by far the loudest of the Gan 251s. However it is a very good cube that is good for anyone looking for a nice 2x2 without spending the extra $10 for the pro

Love it

This Gan Cube is kinda expensive, but it's worth the price, good smooth turning, and magnetic.
It's just a good 2x2 cube from Gan.

Very good cube

Turns smoothly, controlable, Very good cube for both beginners and pros. Mine fell down a groundhog hole but that’s not GAN’s fault.

Why

My cube fell apart and it was super annoying to put back together, and some of the center edge pieces don't move, making it a huge pain to reassemble after it fell apart in 2 minutes. Good turning, big downsides for at least me.

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your cube! Please contact our customer support so we can assist with re-assembly or a return.

My kids took this to their first competition and had a great time. Greatly improved times over their other 2x2!

Best 2x2 I have

When going back to other 2x2 and it’s slow, then you know it’s a good cube.

Pretty good

The cube has good turning and is pretty fast, but the catching on the cube is really bad and the magnets are really weak. So buy the pro probally.

Great cube

Great

If you want an INGREDIBLY light cube, get this. I actually got this cube off Amazon for only $18, but same cube. Magnets are super weak and don’t really do anything, so you might as well get non magnetic Gan 2x2, that is, if you specifically want a Gan. Other brands out there for 2x2 that are just as good. But, if you want a Gan, and you want magnets, and you want weak magnets, and you are ok with permanently weak magnets, then I guess this is for you? I’m giving it a four star since I got it $7 off but if I had gotten it for the full $25 I would give it three. 45 degree corner cutting, 30 degree reverse. Tension adjustment is a pain. I recommend taking the cube apart; adjusting the tension, then reassembling because prying the pieces apart just doesn’t work. Decent cube, wouldn’t necessarily recommend unless you want a Gan

Great cube but too lose

Great cube, good corner cutting and very fast, but magnets are kind of weak. Way too loose and only 2 tension adjustments (even the tightest setting is too loose). Would recommend the 251 pro more, but for the price this is a great cube.

Hard to adjust

I ordered the air, and it came WAY too loose out of the box. After some trial and error I was able to get it tensioned, but it was difficult since the nuts would sometimes just pop out. Still feels a little loose, but I didn't pay for the extras when it comes to adjustments, so I think it will just take some getting used to (I have used a very heavy non-magnetic Moyu for years). Overall though very light and fast!

OMG!!!!!

This cube came from another univers! It has soft magnets
and smoooooooth turning and the corner cutting is fine by me. This cube is worth its price!

very good cube!

this is my main 2x2 and it's a really really good cube! it's turns very smoothly and nice tensions, but if you want you can tension it a bit more because it's not really tensioned so good but it's doesn't really affect it.

low quality piece of garbage

This cube cannot reverse corner cut if it’s life depended on it, the magnets don’t do anything whatsoever, and the cube just feels very cheaply made. I’ve had better experiences with Yuxin. Save yourself $24 and buy a better cube.

Amazing cube!

This was the first 2x2 and it is the best I have ever tried. The corner cutting and smoothness is the best I've ever felt on any cube.
