OK so... the last layer patterns (algorithms) on a regular cube for OLL and PLL, they're like a map... on this mirror cube, you're interacting with the land that the map is describing... it's awesome. I love this type of cube, it is bonkers, in a really good way.
This cube can be solved like a regular 3x3. Making the cross is the hardest part (for me) just now. But once that is cracked, the rest becomes pretty obvious, relatively speaking. It's just F2l and then OLL/ PLL, "simple"...
I have no comparison, so I can only speak about the QIYI mirror cube I've bought... it's well constructed, and OOTB (out of the box) it turns well, doesn't really need lubing and has a good weight.
If you want a new challenge get one of these, I'd recommend being able to solve a 3x3 before getting this, simply because you will have a better insight into how to move the pieces to return it to a cube shape.
