This puzzle has a really fast feel out of the box. With my choice of Lubricants Vortex, Angstrom Compound V, and Angstrom Compound X, I was able to keep this amazingly fast feel and add a great feel and make it more controllable. Out of the box you might have to play with the tensions but they're not that bad. I ordered the sticker less version of this cube and the feeling on the outside is sort of bubbly and unusual. But after using it for a little bit you become used to this. My previous 5x5 was the Qi-Yi Wushuang. I will say that the aochuang properly set up is the best 5x5 on the market.

This cube has a nice bubbly feel with smooth and fast turning. I have broken numerous pb's with this cube and it is definitely my main.

Out of the box it was very fast but after setting it up it was very nice. almost 45 degree corner cutting and a bubbly smooth feel.

I started 5x5 with a Yuxin Cloud, and oh boy, this was an amazih upgrade. It's a bit sandy OOTB, but that's expected out of a MoYu puzzle lol. The magnets are noticeable, and help fix my rough turning style. I have small hands so the cubies are the perfect size for someone like me. 10/10 Definitely recommend!!

This is my first 5x5, but I can tell it's amazing. It's so fast and smooth, and the magnets help your turns lock into place to avoid overshooting due to the speed. The corner cutting ranges from about 2 pieces up to 45 degrees, which is insane for a 5x5. The reverse is about 2/3 of a cubie. This is before any setup or tensioning. It was perfect right out of the box. I highly recommend it

nessicary cube to buy

prettty good, got me back into 5x5, got a 56.69 PB single on my first day with it
