good outer layers, amazing inner layers. currently used as my main 5x5 in comp.

I mained the mgc 5x5 for the past three years, never finding anything better, until this came out. Inner and outer layers feel phenomenal, it rarely/never deforms like the mgc had a tendency to do and I like the colors. Only gripe is the logo won’t come off so it’s unusable in 5bld (I compete in a month and will have to use the old mgc)

Feels high quality. Great inners, outers maybe will get better with more solves but definitely a bit worse than the inners

dropping crazy times out of the box

this cube has AMAZING turning easily the best feeling 5x5. Even the inner layers turn better than the outers which is quite rare. however it has a very bad flaw which is catching. if you try to corner cut the top 2 layers by 2 or 3 side layers, it gets stuck. and this happens with ease with very little force. and my tensions are tight so that’s not the problem

This cube probably has the best out of the box performance I've ever seen on a 5x5. It's really fast as well as being lightweight, which may be hard to adjust to if you're used to slower cubes like I am. However, I was able to adjust to the speed after a few solves and was able to easily get down to my average times. It is also a bit rigid because of the interlocking mechanism, which I think adds to its stability while maintaining good corner cutting.

TLDR: cube is really good.

Title says it all. This cube literally feels like a 3x3 on all layers but as a 5x5, it's unbelievable. The shades are also some of the most contrasty/vibrant I've seen on a cube, which makes recognition easier. You will have to get visually used to the larger gaps between the pieces, though. OOTB, the tensions are decent. Depending on your turning style, I recommend loosing or tightening a quarter turn or less. When the cube does catch, it is indeed very hard to fix, but with a bit more accurate turning I've found myself getting times much better than my Valk 5. I recommend getting the matte and not the UV because skin oils can breakdown most plastics overtime, giving you the equivalent of a more gentle 'uv'-feeling coating.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT it has a problem with lock ups but that is fixed by loosening it by a quarter turn this fixes it BUY THIS NOW!!!

I got the matte version, and lemme tell you, magic happend
out if the box, the cube was a tad bit tight, but with the screwdriver and the super easy core adjustment system, I was able to loosen it. never pops, nor lock ups.
feels like a real gan cube.
I use to main the mgc and then the yufu. I averaged about 8mins. got this cube, I was dropping sub 5's. worth the price and is a must get. (don't forget to lube it)

This is by far the best 5x5 on the market, almost un-poppable, very fast and smooth, I upgraded this from the MGC, and I don't regret an ounce of it, I got faster and faster times with break-in, I definitely recommend this one.
