GAN 562 5x5 Magnetic Ball-Core – Frosted

The GAN 562 5x5 is GAN's flagship magnetic 5x5 and one of the fastest high-end 5x5 speedcubes available. Featuring an advanced magnetic ball-core system, 112 magnets and a lightweight 127g design, the GAN 562 combines the fast, smooth feel GAN is known for with the additional stability needed for high-level big-cube solving.

Its performance has been proven at the very highest level: the GAN 562 was used by Tymon Kolasiński to set the 5x5 world record average at the 2025 World Championship.

This Frosted version costs £47.95 and has exactly the same internal performance features as the more expensive UV-coated version. If you don't particularly prefer a glossy UV finish, this is the better-value way to get the full performance of the GAN 562.

Key Features

• Magnetic ball core – core-to-corner magnetic attraction improves stability and layer alignment
• 112 magnets – an extensive magnetic system provides strong, controlled positioning throughout the cube
• Approximately 127g – remarkably lightweight for a high-performance 5x5
• 62mm size – slightly larger than some modern 5x5s, providing a substantial and stable feel
• Advanced internal structure – designed to reduce misalignment and popping during fast solves
• Fast outer layers – designed to give the 3x3 stage the responsive feel expected from a flagship GAN cube
• Frosted exterior – smooth matte-style finish without the additional cost of UV coating
• World-record performance – used by Tymon Kolasiński for a 5x5 world record average
• WCA legal – suitable for official speedcubing competitions

GAN 562 Frosted vs UV – Which Should You Buy?

Is the GAN 562 UV Worth the Extra £6?

There is no internal performance upgrade when moving from this Frosted version to the £53.95 GAN 562 UV. Both versions use the same 112-magnet ball-core system and the same underlying GAN 562 mechanism.

The difference is the exterior. The Frosted version has GAN's smoother matte-style surface, while the UV version has a hard, glossy coating that provides additional grip and greater resistance to surface scratches.

Choose the Frosted version if you want the complete performance of the GAN 562 for the lowest price, or if you prefer the feel of frosted plastic.

Choose the UV version if you prefer a glossy, grippier surface and are happy to spend an additional £6 for the premium finish.

Best for: Competitive 5x5 solvers looking for flagship GAN performance without paying extra for UV coating.
