=== 2x2x2 Cube ===
The '''LanLan''' 2x2 has a Spring/screw structure which provides extreme corner cutting. It can corner cut a whole 3x3 cubie at maximum. It can also reverse corner cut which is a feature uncommon to 2x2 cubes. The speed of the LanLan is perfect for a 2x2 speedcube, more so than the 2x2 ghosthand which has a greater speed but overshoots. Internal popping is very rare if the cube hasnt been dismantled before. If you dismantle it the cube becomes more prone to internal popping. Some cubes say that the lanlan is terrible out of box but after breaking in or a few 10 solves its performance improves greatly [[Image:Lanlan 2x2x2.jpg|none|thumb|LanLan 2x2x2]]

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.
Being similar to the QJ 4x4, this item does feel faster out of the box. It is a good size for a 4x4 and has a ball core like the QJ and Rubik's brand. If lubricated and broken in, this item will be a smooth and fast turning 4x4!

This skewb's turning is very nice and is easily controllable. Because of a special mechanism, when you turn this puzzle it will click into place. This is extremely important and useful.  One of the most common skewbs out there, superb quality plastic and stability. Very recommended skewb.
