The name ShengShou (圣手) literally translates as "divine hand",[1] although more generically it means a "highly skilled practitioner" or expert.[2]
Products
ShengShou 2x2
The first ShengShou 2x2 was almost identical to the GhostHand 2x2. The mechanism consists of a bandaged 3x3x3, with rounded up edges and the inner and outer corners connected by a lock-up system.
ShengShou 3x3
Three different ShengShou 3x3 versions had been released prior to 2013.(2012 review) Later cubes are:
ShengShou Wind (Feng)
Released before June 2013. This cube is famous for being the quietest cube ever produced. However there is little corner-cutting with this cube and it is unsuitable as a speedcube.
ShengShou Aurora (JiGuang)
Released June 2013. A highly regarded cube on its release. Almost as quiet as the Shengshou Wind, but with better corner-cutting.
ShengShou Rainbow (CaiHong)
Shengshou's first attempt at a stickerless cube.
ShengShou Legend (ChuanQi)
Released March 2016. Shengshou's attempt to produce a more modern cube. It is an underwhelming cube with rather poor corner-cutting.
ShengShou FangYuan
Released August 2016. Released with little publicity, a good mid-price cube. It doesn't catch or pop, doesn't corner twist often, and corner cuts very well for a cube of its class. (KZ's Cube Review)
ShengShou Pearl (MingZhu)
Released June 2017.
ShengShou 4x4
There have been 6 versions of this cube offered for sale, the newest being the ShengShou Wind 4x4. Corner cutting is comparable to the Maru, cutting over a cubie. Reverse corner cutting is good for a 4x4, around a 1/4 of a cubie. It has a spring/screw structure like the Maru but doesn't have misalignment problems. Turning has a clicky feel and the performance improves a bit after some breaking in. The corners/edges is rounded like the Haiyan cube making it having a better feel and more control. The size is reasonable (6.25cmx6.25cmx6.26cm), bigger than an Eastsheen and 2cm smaller than the huge Maru 4x4. At a weight of 161.1g, it has a very comfortable weight. Very cheap.
The mechanism is similar to a 5x5x5 Shengshou, with some pieces reduced and hidden.

ShengShou 5x5
Good cube which had mostly positive reviews. ShengShou has released four different versions of this puzzle, most recently the ShengShou Aurora 5x5. It's mechanism it's similar to the 4x4x4 Shengshou with all it's pieces visible. It has 98 external pieces and no hidden internal pieces but the core. It also looks like a V-Cube 5, with slightly different proportions.
