Shengshou Aurora 2x2

[KonKaii]

Here's my opinon: (compared to a Wittwo)

Pros:
- smooth and I don't mean buttery smooth, more like silky smooth
- fast turning, but corner cutting slows it down
- very quiet, might just be the quietest sounding cube I've had

Cons:
- corner cutting, the best I could do was half a cubie consistantly - quarter of a cubie reverse
- lock ups due to all the reasons above

Overall the cube is worth the cheap price tag if you want a decent 2x2. I'm no speedy solver but if your turning accuracy is bad this may be a good correction cube.
The most significant problem I had with this cube is the outdated/bulky mechanism. If the smooth turning nature of the cube was applied with a wittwo/dayan style mech, I'm pretty sure this cube could become a main to many.
Don't forget those Shengshou screws - they strip very easily.

I FINALLY received it. Overall I like the cube. It feels very nice and is fun to solve. The downside is my times are definitely worse than the Dayan. I do like the slightly (1mm?) smaller feel to it though.

HELP. Anyone knows how to assemble this thing?

I just got mine today and disassembled it right away. Are the notches on the center pieces suppose to resemble an order?

Also. Things I noticed:
1. The cubes have no washers between the spring/plastic.
2. The springs are pointless for the mechanism due to the length of the stalks (hence little corner cutting) - switching to firmer springs may fix the issue.

any luck with that assembly?? I am having a problem with the turning.. i have no idea on how to fix this thing.. HELP!!!:confused:
