This cube is fantastic. The turning on the cube is smooth and flexible. It was kind of slow OOTB, but that went away after barely any break-in. This cube is super fast and controllable. It is a bit loose, I would recommend tightening it by half a turn, then the lockups will pretty much go away(Unless you are a particularly harsh turner). The layers on the puzzle all have pretty much equal speed, unlike my old main, the shadow, whose inner layers are very slow. This cube is definitely better than any other 6x6 in quality for value. One other thing is that I averaged 2:09 on my Shadow(Which I set up with of DNM and Angstrom Dignitas) and now I average 2:00 and got a PB single, 1:45. Keep in mind I am not a serious 6x6 solver, but I hope to improve. My is to average sub-1:50, and I definitely think this puzzle will guide me.

I just want to say right off the bat that this cube is way better than the stock version. It is way smoother and quiet than the stock version but slower ootb. But the slowness wasn’t a problem for very long, it broke in very well in only about 20 solves. Unlike the Pro Shop version which I did about 200 solve on and still didn’t break in very well. It was a little loose ootb and I was getting some pretty frequent lockups, but after tightening by a half turn this was not a problem. On my first Ao5 with this cube I broke my pb single, mean and average. Now it is about as fast as the stock version but way more controllable. This is very helpful because controllability is not one of the MGC 6x6’s strong suits and I would often overshoot on the stock version and get lockups. I also wanted to mention that all the layers are about the same speed, even right out of the box. This is not an attribute I found on either the Aoshi or the Shadow. Overall this cube is a big win for me and I think everyone who buys. It will think so too. But if you are on a budget, the stock MGC is also really good as well for 5$ cheaper. But if you can, GET THIS CUBE!!!!!!

I've had this 6x6 for a little over a year. I keep it at my desk and it's basically a fidget toy. It's also the only cube I can turn when my mic is on because it's so quiet. It doesn't squeak and creak like my other cubes. Plus, it's also a built-in 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 puzzle if you keep the right sections paired up. Very pleased with this

my package was a week late but i am satisfied with the performence

Turns out cubing hardware has improved since 2018! Literally improved my global average by like fifteen seconds just by switching to this, from ~3:05 to ~2:50, and have so far improved my PB single by over 12 seconds (2:35.57 -> 2:23.26), all in about a week's time. Excellent cube!

The Mystic lube is nice too, though since I don't have a control cube to compare against I'm not sure how much that contributes to the quality.

This is a pretty awesome puzzle! It’s really hard to solve but I’m getting there. I guess the only issue I’m having is that the middle most layer is scratchy even though it was set up. It’s kinda weird.
