YES!!! YES!!! YESSSSSS!!!

I've noticed something a little wonky about the pictures. The core protrusions are circular, thus there would be issues with the alignment mechanism. (think about how the aosu and the shengshou 6x6 have non circular protrusions from the core to prevent the centers from moving)

I contacted cubezz and they said that they'll have the AoShi in 3-5 days and it will cost 31.99 USD

It's available on CCS!!!

Edit - ignore that. It's a badly labelled preorder.

 

[Mrkevinbat]

I think that your right

Can't wait to get it! It looks really good!

It wasn't working on my phone.

I know I'm in no position to complain, but I find it highly annoying that most reviewers of the aoshi on the cubicle do not have the Shengshou for comparison.
From what I've heard, the Shengshou is better than the aoshi so far though. I'll post an unboxing when mine arrives I guess.

I have one to compare but it's not fair because it's so terrible..

Are you referring to the AoShi or SS above?

DSheppz had just received his by UKC and it didn't feel good, however I doubt the tensions were even and it was a little loose. With some attention and breaking in it may be great.

 

[kinch2002]

The inners are really slow, the outer layer is really loose. I have not found a tension at which the balance between the 2 is good. I am much faster on my shengshou despite the fact it is missing an internal.

This isn't good news... Uh oh

Feliks says his ss is better.

Personally I think the AoShi is awesome. It is, however, slower than my SS. But I think that would be solved if I could lube the deep internals of the cube, which might require taking it apart to get some lube in there. I have to do the same thing with my Aosu, so no big deal there.

It has lots and lots of potential. But I think some of that potential is lost because of all the friction on the really inner-inner pieces.

At least it doesn't pop. I haven't had a single pop on this monster.


Edit: Lubed the bejeezus out of the internals. No change. Still very slow. Maybe the Ao mech doesn't translate well to higher order cubes. Stable? Yes. Won't pop? Yup. Faster cube? Negative.

 

[imvelox]

Just got it, it's pretty nice(better than SS i think)

 

[guysensei1]

With all the flak about the slowness, has anyone tried spring swapping to Dayan springs? May help.

Edit: maybe not Dayan, but just some other kind of spring?

 

[Chree]

I considered that. I did a spring swap in my SS and I think that's the only reason it's faster.

I still really like the AoShi and I think I'm gonna keep working on it. I don't know if I would benefit from loosening it at all. It would lock up way more.

Hopefully just breaking it in more does the trick.

Feliks says his ss is better.

Is his allowed to say that when his face is on the box?
