The cube has a nice feel to it and is also very fast. Out of the box, the tensions were loose and it was giving me lots of lockups but after tensioning it, lockups have subsided. There should not be issues with corner twists with the squarish corners of the GT and pops are impossible to do with this. The speed is nice and fast and is comparable to Hualong but the feel of the cube seems like a Gans and a well broken in fangshi, just less scratchy. Also, the stickers are dull and seem like the dayan shades and similar to the gans 357 and the fangshi shuangren however most people will just replace it. When going slow, you can feel the smooth feeling of the Aolong v2 however when going fast, the majority of it is the Gans feel. Still, the cube feels smooth while turning and I love how it feels. It is also fast but not uncontrollably fast.
Overall rating: A

Does it flex? I'm so confused when people describe a cube as stable yet it flexes everywhere. A.k.a meiying or gans 356

I'd say it this way:

Tanglong - very minimal flex
Meiying - can flex
356 - very flexible

Aolong GT has flex about in between Tanglong and Meiying

Source: Aolong GT is my main, Tanglong being my backup. Meiying and 356 were past mains.

So it flexes about the same as the aolong v2 then? [emoji16]

I always wanted the Tanglong to be faster but it's my favorite cube based on feel. Super smooth and clicky. Wanted to get an Aolong GT but reviews say that other reviews aren't accurate when they describe the GT as a faster Tanglong.

Yes! maybe a small bit more since the springs are thin and soft but more or less yes

The tanglong is good in it's own right, ocassionaly love solving it when im sick with my GT, the aolong is more rounded tho and the tanglong is blocky. not that it's a bad thing, just describing how it feels.

Hello friend, nice review but one thing caught my eye. I am kind of BJ and a noob at photoediting, how did you create that thumbnail? I would love to make it for my videos too. Thank you :)

I just now saw that it was your thumbnail... Sorry, I found it random on internet.
If you want I will remove it :) Sorry again.
