The turning is very smooth, and, for a mirror blocks cube, the corner cutting is great. The magnets are on the stronger side, but they're not too strong. They make the cube nice and stable. I love that there's a silver option unlike the GAN. The shortest layer is difficult to tension without making the center cap bulge too much, but I was able to find a good enough axis distance. Given the design of the mirror blocks cube in general, I'm not sure how avoidable this issue is.
