Lubed with four drops of Maru lube on the pieces, traxxas 50k on the core. Loosened A LOT from stock tensions.

OOTB: A sticker was already chipped, but turned quite nicely. This is my first megaminx. A lot of spring noise though, and the springs were kind of rusty.

Looks: Standard megamix shape with Shengshou/Dayan shades. Sadly, many stickers were chipped on my first day, so sticker quality isn't great, and there is no stickerless versions. Small ridges to accommodate with the grip. Florian holes were added to help with corner cutting.

Feel: Smooth, very small bumps, and crisp/crunchy.

Speed: A speed that isn't too fast, but not slow. Ever so slightly on the slower side for me. It is very stable.

Corner cutting: Don't know if this is the standard for megaminxes, but 45 regular, and 1/2 reverse. Does enough in preventing some lockups and catches.

Locks/catches: I don't know if this is due to my tensions, but the stability compromises a little of "freedom". Like, it is stable, but stiff at the same time, so locks and catches are somewhat minor. This could be because I have relatively large hands, and/or that i'm not experienced in turning a megaminx.

Overall: Good megaminx for anyone, if setup correctly. All the reviews i've seen were mostly positive, so I decided to get this, but it doesn't really suprised me in any way. But, don't let that be the factor to not get this megaminx, because it is still very good.
