This is a good cube, although the one I got had magnets popping loose and rattling/clicking a lot, but I’m pretty sure this was a one-in-a-hundred defect, so I’ll focus on the overall performance of the cube for this.
I like the speed of this cube, but the magnets don’t seem strong enough to equally compensate for the speed when turning this as fast as it is capable of. If it had an elasticity system, I don’t think it would be a problem, and it would feel more balanced. In fact, it feels simultaneously tight and loose to me and that bothers me, as I like compressing the spring a bit to balance a looser tension setting. I left the cube at the out of the box tension setting, and that was because I felt like if I loosened up the **** I’d lose even more control of everything else about the cube. Although the corner cutting is poor in this setting, I know that it would improve if I released the ****.
Other than that I think it presents a good value and I recommend this to beginners, or people upgrading to their first magnetic cube.
As for the stand, I think it is very durable and offers high protection to the cube besides being a good display gadget.
