I’m not a proper speed solver (25-30 sec average) and use this cube for magic, as well as just solving. For me it’s perfect for what I need - smooth and quiet. It’s really nicely set up and I have no complaints. One thing I have found with the Dayan Pro cubes is that the magnets have a tendency to come out of their slots, but that hasn’t happened with this one yet. So I give it top marks all round.
