GAN 12 M Maglev UV 3x3 is the 2021 flagship release for 3x3. This puzzle's most notable feature is the MagLev system and 30-degree layer alignment. This is a promising puzzle for 2021!

The magnet strength changed significantly compared to the original version of the cube. [1]

• The standard white rods installed in the new batch are noticeably weaker than the original, tactile hexagonal magnets that the GAN 12 famously launched with. [1]
• The extra blue rods in the accessory case are engineered to be even weaker than those new white ones, aligned with the color-coding standard GAN uses on newer models like the GAN 16. [1, 2]

Because of this physical design overhaul, a new-batch GAN 12 feels less tactile and much faster out of the box than an original-batch GAN 12. [, 2]

If you want to try matching the classic, highly tactile "auto-aligning" feel of the original GAN 12: [1, 2]

• Slide the corner magnet switches to the highest setting (+ or 6).
• Consider using thicker lubricant to slow the layers down and artificialize that missing stability. [1, 2, 3]
