Some Products
2x2x2 Cube
Their LanLan 2x2 (c. 2010) had a spring/screw structure which provided good corner cutting. It could also reverse corner cut which was a feature uncommon to 2x2 cubes. Its speed was comparable to the 2x2 GhostHand which had a greater speed but would overshoot. Internal popping was rare as long as the cube had never been dismantled.
4x4x4 Cube
The 4x4 cube (c. 2011) was very cheap and also was regarded as a high quality build. Being similar to the QJ 4x4, it felt faster out of the box. It had a ball core like the QJ and Rubik's brand. If lubricated and broken in, it was regarded as smooth and fast turning.
LanLan Skewb
The LanLan skewb (c. 2011) had easily controllable turning. It had a ball-bearing mechanism, which clicked into place when turning this puzzle. This was useful for speedsolving, and was one of the most popular skewbs, with good quality plastic and stability.
