Out of the box, it was already awesome. Very little factory lube was in the cube, which made things much easier to customize, and the adjustment system, though derivative from its competitor, the RS2M Evo, was helpful.
The corner cutting was over 45 degrees forward and very generous reverse, more than the MGC. I would attribute this to the ball-core, but it makes such a minute difference that I feel as if it is just barely worth the extra couple bucks, adding a tiny bit of stability. The magnets are not too strong, not too weak, and since the two corner magnets are closer together than in the MS, it has less of that "bumpy" feel.
Pieces do not wobble around like they do on the M Pro 3x3 when turning, and stability is comparable to the YJ MGC Elite, second only to the Valk (we miss you, Valk 2.) Yet, with the adjustment system, flexibility is controllable and you can change between a little bit flexy to a brick (in a good way.)
I have no real problems with this cube, and I think that the only real issue is the dark green even though the difference in recognition is negligible unless cubing in low light. It's a good price, with good features, and is a great blank canvas for lube setup as well as having decent factory defaults. I highly recommend this cube for beginners and advanced solvers alike, and it is my choice over the RS2M Evo and the YJ MGC. I think it is worth the extra few dollars over the QiYi MS for this cube
