I got this for Christmas, and it came a bit slippery out of the box, but I wiped it and it was less slippery. It turns a bit slow out the box and locks up more with bad corner cutting, but if you turn more and more and break it in and it becomes soo good. I have an MGC which I set up so well and it turned insane, but it now feels slower and locks up more. I recommend this cube and get it (obviously) from KewbzUk!
