Packaging and Accessories
The MGC logo has been changed by YJ, to middling reception at best

This logo is featured prominently on the packaging of the MGC EVO.
The puzzle comes with a clear accessory box as opposed to the traditional cardboard ones that the previous MGC puzzles came with.
The puzzle also includes a large dark blue cube bag, MGC card, a small screwdriver and Cameron's easy solve guide.

And finally, the MGC EVO includes instructions for adjusting the magnet strength and the spring adjustment system.
Tensioning System
The YJ MGC EVO tensioning system is pretty simple, coming with 11 options, from 0 to 10. The adjustment system has the additional feature where the user can turn the spring tension both clockwise and anti-clockwise, unlike the aforementioned systems that can only be turned one way.
It should be noted that the adjustment is only of the spring tension, not with the typical screw depth

Magnet Adjustment
The MGC EVO comes with six adjustable magnet settings, with the 6th the strongest and the 1st the weakest.
Visual Features
The MGC EVO has a "grid type piece design" on the primary internals, fluorescent stickerless shades and an interesting centre cap design that visually looks recessed, but actually isn't.
Turning
...it's really fast and this feels completely different than any other MGC 3x3 to date. This has a very dry and fast feeling.
I really like the turning feel it's very smooth, kind of scratchy and just feels nice
