I love the black internals, they look great! It has a nice coating; it's not matte. There are also slight indents to help with grip as well. I find it easier to solve than a 2x2 though; it's pretty easy! You just solve one layer, then the corners, then the centers. To solve the corners, it's just (R' F R' F') x 2, and for the centers it's just (R' U R U) x 2.
So the cube itself feels and look great, just may be a bit easier than you might be expecting!
