While you only start off with a 2x2, if you know how to solve already, you will have no troubles. It works but the controls can be frustrating at times and the view is off because when I cube normally, I hold a face towards me and not on that weird diagonal. Already being a speedcuber myself, Im better suited to just carry around my cubes like Ive always done. Its ok.. It works.. Its just not comparable to the real thing.
