It's fast, quiet, and very customizable. My setup is using green GES nuts and strong magnets (these happen to be the parts that were already in the cube out of the box). Added a little Traxxas 30k and DNM 37 when the factory lubricant wore out, and after using this cube for a few weeks I can't go back to any other cube- it's simply the best I've ever used.

aahh , the GAN 'X' ipgV5. this cube is my favorite of the GAN series so far.

first and foremost, the ability to fine tune the hand feel !

Digital vs analog , the 'X' ipgV5 is the analog cube whereas the GES type gives 'steps in the handfeel as low resolution digital.

GAN , if you are listening .....please make the finish optional on all of your cubes , I as well as many others do NOT
like the 'frosted' finish. I do not know if I was lucky but my 'X' came with beautiful shiny mirror like non frosted finish and I love it!

The only negative so far , it is not as light as the XS ;-)

I am very happy with my GAN 356 X ipgV5 and highly recommend it to those that want to split hairs on hand feel settings!

I own the 356x ges , 356x ipgv5 , 356xs and can say you cannot go wrong with any of these as they are all very good.

One of these days I shall do a video detailing the small differences between these.

I really enjoy turning this cube, but so many cubes are better than this! I get better times on my Yulong v2 than this cube because it's so slow. My hands get tired sometimes when I turn it. Don't buy this! There are so many better cubes, like an Rs3 2020 or even a 6 dollar meilong m.

I ordered this cube and a 4x4 on Friday, cubicle sent me a text saying we will notify you when it ships. Exactly five min. later they shipped it and it arrived Monday. But the cube was my instant main

I got this cube for Christmas, and I have got to say, it's pretty good. Very smooth finish, and a nice upgrade from my GTS2M. For some reason the cube was lubed, even though "Santa" didn't order lube. OOTB, it's kind of rough, but it gets smoother as you go along. However, it did take me a while to figure out what the pamphlets were saying (even though I can read and speak Chinese). Great cube overall, and I definately would recommend this.

Okay, look, I know there's all this excitement about this but honestly, is it that good?

I bought this cube and no joke, no lube combo worked. I tried Traxxas 30k with Silk and Dnm. Fail - it was too slow and gummy and didn't seem to slow down. Dignitas, gravitas, and dnm. Fail - the same thing as before.

The strong magnets are making to cube too slow, and the yellow ones have this weird clicky sound to it and don't help much with speed. and, you know, and no one uses green magnets. (which I have tried)

I really don't care for it. Kinda feel like I wasted my money.

it corner twists, pops its just bad DO NOT BUY

This is the best cube I have and it is my instant main.

So, This cube is not mine, it is my friend's. However, I am an avid cuber and he wanted me to set it up. After doing so, I did some solves. This cube has an incredible anti - pop, and absolutely exemplary (Yes I'm a nerd) corner cutting. It is incredibly fast, and buttery smooth. However, the GTS3M is faster, has (Again, my opinion) better corner cutting, and is still just as smooth. Now to hardware. The GES tensioning and spring swap are good, but the GTS3M is faster at it. The magnet capsule however, is still legendary. (The magnets aren't super effective though) All in all, this is a fantastic cube, but be careful when you buy it! It is literally one of the most expensive 3x3s ever. If you do not have the money, get the GTS3M. If you do have the money, unless you are not that fast a turner, I do not really recommend this over the GTS3M. (Keyword: OVER the GTS3M) Over other cubes, definitely invest. Just because I think the GTS3M is better for me, does not mean it will be for you. It's just personal preference.
