Manufacturer of the Type-E 3x3x3 cube.

Products

2x2x2 Cube

Only sold in white. Uses a screw-spring mechanism. These Cubes are often used by beginners because it has a ability not to overshoot or lockup as much as the eastsheen. The screw/spring structure provides excellent corner cutting and stability. The only downfall is that Diansheng only produces white 2x2x2. Very recommended.

Type E cubes are known as Diansheng (or DS) cubes. Out of the box they are quite bad, but after lubing with silicone they become much better. One problem is that they are somewhat prone to locking up, due to the very cubic cubies. There are two types of DS cubes, no.222 and no.333. Rather than stickers, the Diansheng no.333 has the colors painted onto the sides of the cube. The color scheme is a mirrored version of the Western color scheme. The no.222 has regular stickers. Both of the painted and stickered types have different cubies. Because of their very light weight, and very loose, smooth turning; DS 3x3x3's are often used in One-Handed cubing.
