I used the cube straight out the box and it was fantastic, besides the speed, which was slightly too fast for me. So like any other cuber, I wanted to set it up and make it tighter so that it would be more controllable and less fast. So that's what i did, but turns out, you can make it tight enough to be controllable, but at the expense of the turning quality and it catches more. Overall, its great, especially if you only set it up a VERY TINY BIT, like 1-2 clicks and a quarter turn of tension, but that's it. If you would like to know how it felt while it was out the box, and when I only set it up a tiny bit, watch my video review: https://youtu.be/2H20txNXAww
