I like this as a novelty, but due to several points I would rate it lower than most 2x2s. The cube turns smoothly, but catches frequently. The tensions are adjustable - I found it quite tight out of the box. The cube is not magnetised, which I find quite irritating during solves, but is not a dealbreaker.
The cube has a nice colour scheme that looks great on display, but which makes it not preferable for solving. Also, the cube needed a wipe down after opening as the factory lube covered the external pieces.
