The first thing you notice about the Gan 12 Leap is just how light it feels. It has a satin slightly Matt finish and turns beautifully with virtually no effort at all. It has 3 magnetic settings which is adjusted by switches on the corner pieces. I really like strong magnets, and have found the default middle setting to be fine for me. I have resisted Lubing the Gan out of the box. It seems quite dry but after a few solves I realised that the speed and feel suits me just right.( Lube would probably slow the cube down anyway ) The core magnets are very noticeable and keep everything very stable and help the corners click into position. The Gan 12 Leap is quite noisy while turning and solving. I am sure it is the magnets and not the adjustable spring system that is making the noise. For me this is a quality fast cube and is a pleasure to use and solve on, Highly Recommended. *****
