Monster Go Smart Cube 3x3x3

GAN Monster Go Smart Cube 3x3x3

Monster Go Smart Cube 3x3x3 is a magnetic smart cube from the Monster Go line, GAN's more affordable series designed mainly for beginners and younger cubers. What sets it apart from a regular 3x3 cube is that it connects via Bluetooth to an app on your phone or tablet, so you can see every move and the current state of the cube on the screen. The version we offer comes in the stickerless bright colour scheme, which means coloured plastic with no stickers.

What does a smart cube give you?

The electronics inside record every layer turn and send it to the app in real time. This makes it easier to see exactly where you went wrong in an algorithm. You can also replay a solve step by step or time yourself without a separate timer. If you're just learning the layer-by-layer method, it's a convenient way to avoid constantly checking the instructions and counting moves yourself.

Because of the electronics, the cube is slightly heavier than a typical 3x3 cube in this price range. For casual solving this doesn't really matter in practice, but you will feel the difference compared with lightweight speedcubing cubes.

Magnets and turning

The cube has magnets that help align the layers after each turn. While you're learning, this means fewer accidental misalignments and fewer lockups than with non-magnetic cubes. However, this isn't GAN's flagship record-breaking model: it lacks the advanced tension adjustment and the systems known from the brand's more expensive cubes, such as MagLev or Ball-Core.

Who is it for?

A good choice for your first smart cube, and also a great gift for a child who is starting to solve and enjoys learning with a phone in hand. It will also suit casual cubers who want to see how an app-connected cube works before deciding on a more expensive model. Experienced speedcubers looking for a smart cube for high-TPS training should rather go for a higher GAN series.
