5. Setup & Initial Adjustment
Your GAN speed cube comes pre-lubricated and ready for use. However, you can fine-tune its performance to match your personal preference.
5.1. Initial Inspection
Upon unboxing, inspect your cube for any visible damage. Ensure all pieces are securely in place and the cube turns smoothly.
5.2. Tension and Magnet Adjustment
GAN cubes feature advanced adjustment systems to customize the feel and performance:
- GAN V100 Leap: This model offers 72 setting combinations. Use the included adjustment tool to modify the tension and magnet strength. Rotate the adjustment mechanism in the center of each face to cycle through the settings. Experiment to find your preferred 'handfeel'.

- Swift 355s: This cube features a 5-level digital adjustment system. This system allows you to precisely adjust both spring elasticity and screw distance. Refer to the diagram below for how to access and adjust these settings. Turn the adjustment mechanism to select your desired level.

- GAN i carry 4: For this smart cube, ensure it is charged (if applicable) and connect it to the CUBESTATION APP for initial setup and calibration. The app may guide you through any necessary physical adjustments or digital settings.
6. Operating Instructions
Once your cube is adjusted to your liking, it's ready for solving. The magnetic system in these cubes provides a tactile and precise turning experience, guiding the layers into place.
- Turning: Hold the cube firmly but gently. Use your fingers to turn the faces and layers. The magnetic system will assist in aligning the layers.
- Corner Cutting: Experiment with corner cutting to understand the cube's limits. This feature allows for turns to be completed even if the layers are not perfectly aligned, which is crucial for speed solving.
- GAN i carry 4 App Integration: For the GAN i carry 4, utilize the CUBESTATION APP to track your solves, analyze your turning, and access tutorials or challenges.
7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GAN speed cube.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the cube. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic or the frosted finish.
- Lubrication: Over time, the cube's turning may become less smooth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based cube lubricant to the internal contact points. Do not over-lubricate, as this can attract dust and debris.
- Storage: Store your cube in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original packaging or a dedicated cube bag is ideal.
8. Troubleshooting
- Cube feels stiff: Try loosening the tension settings slightly using the adjustment tool. Apply a small amount of cube lubricant.
- Cube feels too loose/unstable: Tighten the tension settings. Ensure all core screws are snug but not overtightened.
- Popping (pieces coming out): This usually indicates the tension is too loose. Tighten the tension settings. If it persists, check for any damaged pieces.
- GAN i carry 4 not connecting to app: Ensure the cube is charged, Bluetooth is enabled on your device, and the CUBESTATION APP is up to date. Try restarting both the cube (if applicable) and your device.
9. User Tips
- Experiment with Settings: Don't be afraid to try different tension and magnet settings. What feels best for one person might not for another. Find your perfect balance for speed and control.
- Break-in Period: New cubes often feel a bit stiff initially. Regular use will help break in the cube and make it smoother.
- Gentle Handling: While GAN cubes are durable, avoid dropping them or forcing turns, as this can cause damage.
- Custom Center Caps: Some models, like the Swift Block, come with interchangeable center caps (e.g., custom logo or Horse Year exclusive pattern). These are purely aesthetic and can be swapped by gently prying them off and snapping the new one into place.
