This is my first speedcube, coming only from the Rubik's cube. I had watched many youtube videos to try and help determine what to first get. I've learned a lot of terms people refer to, and things people will look for and notice in a cube. I love the smoothness this cube has, especially when using the Martian lubricant from SCS. There are magnets in this cube, although not super clicky. Having only used this cube so far, I've been extremely happy with it. I hope to soon learn CFOP (Still learning F2L) But I can't wait to keep using this cube! Highly recommend :)
