GoCube Edge is to the Rubik's cube what GoChess is to chess. This Bluetooth-enabled 3 x 3 cube features LED lighting and a position tracking system that records every spin and turn in the app. The app has an academy that will take you through the process of solving the cube for the first time. From here, you compete against players from all over the world, play mini-games and puzzles, and track your progress to see where you can improve.
GoCube's app integration is excellent and the cube itself is reliable. It's a magnetic cube, although it doesn't spin nearly as fast as high-end cubes. The soft design also sets it apart from traditional cubes.
For beginners and anyone looking for a change of pace by playing mini-games and solving puzzles, GoCube Edge is fantastic. I learned how to solve a 3 x 3 cube using GoCube Edge in 2024. Today I can solve any square cube up to 13 x 13. I still go back to the GoCube Edge to practice and play mini games because the smart cube features are so good.
There is also a GoCube 2 x 2 version for $35 (was $60). You can bundle the two models together for $73 (was $133). The GoCube comes with a carrying case, a charging cradle, and a USB charging cable.
