While the Gan 249 V2 M is turns very smooth and the magnets help to stop the faces right where you need them to, it seems to slip out of my hands more often than with my Moyu 2x2s. The plastic texture doesn't have the shiny, sticky, tactile feel, but rather a dull and smooth finish. The feeling is like dusting your fingers with chalk before trying to solve a cube. I only wished they chose the same type of external plastic finish they put on their Gan 354 M stickerless. Other reviews said the puzzle lacks lube. I find even though the puzzle was shipped with little or no lube, it turns very fast without it. I believe it's due to the honeycomb contact surface design.
