this is one of the greatest 2x2s ever. Almost the best on the market, but I'll have to see once I get my Dayan 2x2. Anyway, this cube's feel is very fast, but has a controllability level that is reasonably good for beginners. out of the box, the cube feels the almost same way as it is half broken in, but breaking it in makes it amazing, and corner cutting is 45 degrees. The feel is quite fluid and buttery smooth.The tiles do not stick out, and are very neat to me. They will pop off if you drop it though, and they have pooped off while solving.. I do not know what would happen if I put stickers on the tiles. Corner Cutting is well past 45 degrees, even on tighter tensions, and reverses 3/4 to a full piece. Pops don't occur at all, but might have to voluntarily happen due to a bad lockup. Lockups are minor, and don't happen very often, but some lockups may require reassembly, which unlike most people see, is not that bad. if you lubricate this cube, the corner cutting will be very good. The cube also is slightly loud. The only problems I see are the tiles, which don't affect the puzzle that much, and the lockups are not that bad, but still occur.
