hi i am a speed cuber and i love buying and trying new cubes and i want to give my honest opinion on this cube.(so if you are unsure about wether or not to buy this read my review). ok so out of the box it feels vary good in terms of quality its vary fast with medium magnet stranth(witch is what i prefer) it is easy to turn and has almost no friction despite having springs witch i think is amazing. i think it is perfect out of the box but it should have alittle lube if i where to recommend what lube to put in here i would say galaxy with the tightness it came out of the box because it feels alot more controllable and reduses the friction even more!!!. then i would recommend puting galaxy in your springs it takes all the sound away exept for that gummy sound from the lube witch i love,(that is how i set up the cube) i feel like this cube will be a good budget cube to use!!! thanks for reading
