Here's my review of the Mini Diansheng. Here I go, if I make mistakes, please comment.
I got it from www.popbuying.com with my Type A V Black and Type C I Blue. The DIY's were perfect, as I explained in my review. (here's the link: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18904 Sorry it's kind of clumsy since it was my first post.) The Mini Diansheng was painted, unfortunately. When I first got it, it wast great, but when I tried to lube it, the paint peeled off. It look awful. I put Goo-gone on it, but it didn't work at all. After a few minutes, I realized the plastic was melting (literally), and so it got really rough. So, I tried washing it, and all the other things, but it didn't work. So now, it's sitting in the closet, looking like a morphed cube. I heard that it was consistent in quality, but I still do not like the cheap plastic. Although it is only about 2 dollars a piece, I think saving up and buying a Type C or Type A V would be your best bet if you want a good speedcube. Thanks for reading this review. I hope you make it to your sub 30's cause I'm almost there also! Happy Cubing, John.

Thanks. I think the lube does it because the plastic might not by ABS (I'm not sure, please fix me if I'm wrong), or it might just not be high quality. I suggest you save up some money and buy a Type C I, from www.popbuying.com (approx. $6), or a Type A V from www.popbuying.com (approx. $11). The Type C I and Type A V are really good.
Here are the links:
Type C I: http://popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.25263
Type A V:http://popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.25261
By the way, Popbuying is really cheap, and has free shipping if you buy over $15. You can get info on the puzzles there on this link (SaberSlash49's Popbuying Puzzle List : http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18103).
Happy Cubing and good luck!

nice reviews!i have both ordered!probably poor quality plastic
I liked the larger one better when my turning is accurate and the mini one better for corner cutting. I really hate them both because the orange and red are so close together that it's extremely annoying.
i got both in the mail today. out of the box the mini was better but after adjusting the tension the only difference was the corner cutting which the mini was better
