The mechanism looks identical to my Cubetwist. Maybe a coincidence, but the Cubetwist cones with Shengshou shades and just has a Shengshou-ish feel. When I first got the Cubetwist, I thought maybe Shengshou owned Cubetwist. If you gave me a Cubetwist and told me it was Shengshou, I would believe you.
I disagree, honestly - my main is a Cubetwist. The trick is removing the springs, which removes the cornercutting (definitely not a good thing) but makes the entire puzzle much faster and quite literally impossible to pop.
But it'd be really cool to see some mechanism that both allows cornercutting and prevents popping.
