I can testify that it feels exceptionally comfortable in hand. Don’t let the raised edges give you a misperception. Its smooth AF. 🤘 ---

Agreed. Such a cool feeling yoyo. One of my favorite metal responsives ---

Does this come set up responsive? If yes: Anyone tried it unresponsive? ---

It comes responsive and has a good amout of snappy sensitivity, and it can loop. However its 62g of heft also give it some spin time. This would have been an old demonstrator’s dream machine for doing Split the Atom repeaters. When the lube runs dry, I’ll let it get unresponsive.
