That cube is fucking amazing. When I first got it, it seemed overshadowed by my type F-Is and F-IIs and especially my Cube4You. But after some random fiddling, adjusting the tension, and, honestly, not using it, it has turned into a god cube. The corner cutting is incredible. It cuts at about 35 degrees like my mom cuts fabric for her quilts. At more than that, it just stops or pops, but before that it is dreamy. It can even reverse corner cut at about 1.5mm in. It can cut corners on M slices. M SLICE CORNER CUTTING!!! Wow! That is all I will say.
The C-II's speed isn't great to be quite honest, but it is incredibly consistent and has a feel that I love. You can feel every piece sliding around but you know it makes little difference on the cube. Smooth plastic but a rough feel. I think this also makes it a quieter cube, which my parents greatly enjoy.
The one thing I don't appreciate on the C-II: pops. This cube does not like to stay together very long. Compared to my other cubes it sucks, but it doesn't really pop that much. But when it pops it explodes. It wipes out the dinosaurs. And it always feels like it could pop any second, but then it doesn't. This feeling was really why I didn't make this my main cube a long time ago. Now I can't get enough of it (my tiled C4Y is still my school cube, though). I'll have to get some more, maybe in different colors. But right now C4Y is out...
The best part about this cube? My Jig-a-Loo is on loan. This cube has not yet been lubed.
