Yeah, This is the Best 5x5 | GAN 562 Review 

love your content and cube analysis, keep up the good work!

goated channel

Underrated channel😢

Just subbed based on this comment haha. Will check content later!

Love your channel your good at designing cube and analyzing mechanism

cool

I also have the gan 12,it had really really terrible lockup issues at first , it took like probably like 1000 solves before the lock up issue got fixed. So yea, it does have bad lockup issues but it get fixed with solves.

They are making a 4x4 now💀

At worlds I tried the 555, uncle gan told me besides all 3x3 upcoming projects, once the 5x5 and the new megaminx are released, they will design this 5x5 to be a 4x4, then after that they will do a Square-1. The Square-1 already has physical prototypes.

@@FakePischebruh they made one like 6 years ago or something

Prototypes exist currently and the suck lol

I haven’t but someone has to say me 6 so here I am Me 6

or i could just wait for the yj actually now that i think about it

I doubt Yj will be able to top the gan 5x5, just get the matte gan 5x5

@@Mootcubes yea probably not, but maybe better value idk im not planning on getting a new 5x5 soon so i dont mind waiting to see what happens

The fact that you have to wipe out the entire cube in order to make the hong usable just makes the GAN more preferable imo. As some who owns both and did a lot of work on the hong, the GAN’s performance still beats the hong’s even ootb.

@@answer610 100%, and I don’t disagree with the fact that QiYi’s insistence on using practical “glue” to lubricate their cubes is beyond me despite the community’s pleas for them to stop. I also don’t doubt that the Gan cube probably beats the competition in terms of performance, but you can also highlight that fact without making exaggerating or potentially misleading claims about other cubes without talking about the setup beforehand.

I’d be curious to hear more about high static friction in regards to lubricant, I’ve never heard of lubricant affecting corner cutting like that. I’ve never had a cube suddenly develop worse corner cutting after adding a certain lube. Also, I’ve been maining the hong for months, I’ve done thousands of solves on it. I have it at good tensions. It still corner twists. I don’t think this is misleading or an exaggeration, I’m literally just sharing my experience with the cube. I didn’t say it corner twists every other solve, just that it CAN happen.

@@JRCuber The main thing particularly with corner cutting is the pieces' ability to rub against each other. Certain fast silicone lubes (and especially spray lubes like QiYi still uses) directly on plastic causes the kinetic friction to decrease (fast feeling), but causes the static friction to increase; a heavier lube directly on plastic by contast reduces static friction, but increases the resistance to turning (slow feeling). With Dignitas in particular though, you can achieve both a fast and frictionless feel, by adding DNM-37 on top as Chris Tran highlighted in one of his videos (as I'm sure you're familiar as well), therefore by applying Dignitas to the entire cubie (excluding where you hold the cube), the static friction holding the edges back from rubbing against each other during a corner cut is nearly eliminated, as well as for the center and corner. This is why I believe the setup of a cube is just as, if not more important than the actual mechanism of the cube, where cubes that were often dismissed as unviable for competition for their performance I've been able to get my normal 15-20 second averages at home with the right setup. And to be honest though, it's not your fault that you may necessarily find certain aspects of the cube to perform differently, I've seen a lot of people make similar performance claims about the Hong (and other QiYi cube for that matter) without talking about the way they setup the cube, which I just find unfortunate because if QiYi would just stop applying their spray lube on every one of their cubes since at least the Valk 3 M, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion, and the reviews would also probably have a greater general consensus to them. I think if reviewers in general talked about how their cube was set up before talking about their experience, then it would make not only reviews more credible (as you've certainly highlighted with the Gan 5x5 itself by highlighting the "grindiness" of the cube out of the box and the smoother feel after setup), but also when comparing other cubes, to briefly note how the cube was set up to provide additional context to the viewer, and I think it would benefit the community greatly. (If you want, I'll be at the NxN comp in June if you want to try my Hong and I can explain what I mean better than I can through a keyboard lol)

@@yankeeromeoalpha yeah I’d definitely like to try your Hong! I’m sort of following what you’re saying, but I think I’d need to feel it for myself to really get it. And you can try mine too, the tensions definitely could be tighter, but I don’t think it’s that loose. I agree that setup is super important though, and I think cubes should always come completely dry. I’ve definitely had cubes that were basically dead on arrival cause the factory lube was so bad (and even cleaning wouldn’t get the feeling fully out), but I didn’t experience that with the Hong. It felt pretty smooth and fast right away, and I didn’t notice much roughness like you mentioned in your first comment. I’m still skeptical that those specific snappy reverse cuts would actually get better by wiping out the factory lube, I gotta feel it to believe it I guess 😆

Ik it’s so hype

Wow 2x2 goat

Definitely the Gan, the Hong is great but you need precise turning to not lock up on it. Even better if you’re coming from a Valk! I think Valk to Gan is a way easier transition than Valk to Hong.

@@JRCuber Thanks!

@@JRCuberOh yeah, but I like the AoChuang WRM as well.

Nah the gan is like 70 dollars

He's right here, reviewing cubes, right now!

I think he said that it is

yes

Agreed

‎

It’s 67 dollars.

40 dollars is still good for a top tier speedcube like the wrms or tornadoes

@@akmuchbetter9782 It's way too much. For less than that price you can buy a top 5x5 or a good 7x7.

Meilongs seem to be equal to/better than in many regards...

​@@ErikBromleyI'm sorry, but it is not even close

​@@domingoanoite68meilong v2

@@brokin_official still, the MGCs are still way better in general, they are faster, more forgiving and the design is just overall better

@domingoanoite68 good luck trying to tell anyone in the big cube discord that

59 for matte 67 for uv

🤣

hm i wonder which company would ever do stuff like that...

Yeah bro just likes pasta okay?

Don't try to compare 5x5 and 3x3 hardware

@@domingoanoite68 no i'm not comparing. i'm surprised to see that gan is using screws for the very first time, or may be in the megaminx earlier...i dont know

@@asadcubing The centers on a megaminx are big enough to fit the normal dual adjustment system, but as demonstrated with the original Gan 460, shoehorning a GES nut into a center that small proved to be wildly impractical, and on a 5x5 would have been even more so, so they really didn’t have much of a choice; honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they do the same thing with their new upcoming 4x4 as well…
