New Diansheng 4x4 and 5x5

[silentscreams]

i got the DS 5x5 today
and a was pretty happy with it's quality
as obviously it is better than the rubik's

however, the whole thing popped while i was solving
T_T

and now im pretty lost on how to reassemble it

if you live in asia you can find them in some toy stores. I bought one thinking it was an eastsheen.it's the same size as my eastsheen 4x4. the one i bought doesn't turn good at all. you can adjust the screws just like an eastsheen but it doesn't really help at all. I have to turn a side with my whole hand. the stickers are painted and when i bout it, it came with a stand that said diansheng on it. overall i definately wouldnt recomend it

I've got both of them. Only thing i can say is why getting something that 'might be good' when there are QJ Mefferts and Vs available.

4x4x4 is ok (i guess) after lubing and breaking in. Still cant cut corners for ****
I haven't really broken into my 5x5x5 just yet. A friend got it in China for me and gave it to me at school. I was just messing around with it in Physics lesson and it just blew apart....there are like a thousand pieces it's ridiculous... Ever since i've been very careful in turning just to avoid wasting another 20minutes of my time....

I have both
the 4x4 is okay but need to break in center caps tend to fall off.
5x5 pops allot and center caps fall out easily

I have the Dian Sheng 4x4. It's really smooth but occasionaly corner cutting jams up a bit. It's a really good cube though. The mechanism is very interesting.

I have one and I dont recommend it cuz it locks up every time you turn and modding it is a disaster
