GuoBing (also apparently known as Sheng-Le[1]) is a Chinese puzzle brand known for the Type-C cube which was popular around 2007-2010. They are also known for their WitEden brand of cubes.
Type C cubes were somewhat choppy, loud and very fast, faster than Type A and less prone to lockups than Type D. It was considered by some to be a replica of the Rubik's DIY but with various improvements. The older versions had plastic washers and center caps that fell off easily; the later versions had metal washers and sturdy caps. Many speedcubers used this type.
Type-C
Type-C (v1.5), and Type-C (Retooled)
This was essentially the same cube, but with slightly modified center piece which allowed easier removal of the cap. The retooled version had indents on the two opposite corner of the center, and the v1.5 had centers similar to the Japanese Speedcube Kit.
Mini-C
At 50mm, this was the largest of the Mini 3x3x3's. Only a little smaller than regular sized cubes of 57mm, some speedcubers actually used it as their main cube. It was also an excellent travel cube.
