I got this cube expecting innovative designs, but nothing short of many flaws. Instead, I was absolutely blown away by this cube! It is so smooth right out of the box, and Dayan has once again gone and outdone themselves by making the best sounding cube out there! I just can't get enough of those satisfying clicks. It also has fantastic piece to piece contact and accepts lube better than any other cube I own. My favorite part about this cube though, is the slice layers. After taking a look at a couple reviews of this product (on other websites) I was ready for flimsy or unstable slices, and that is exactly what I got. But in a good way! I dislike the slice layers on most cubes because my turning style requires me to target the slices more directly to get the accurate turn, and then it takes more force than usual to do so because of the double amount of magnets holding the layer in place. With this cube, turning the slices feels just like turning the ordinary U or R layers! The flimsiness of them allow me to give them nimble flicks in-between the easier moves, and it has made my solves so much more quick and effortless. This cube has really set in concrete Dayan as my preferred manufacturer and I can't wait to see what they release in the future. I do wish though that it came in better condition. There were several scratches and marks on several of the pieces when I got it, but I trust that Dayan is able to do something about it in the future. And for a final note, if anybody is wondering, the lid on the cube container is a sliding lid, not a hinged lid. It took me five minutes to figure that out.
