The DianSheng Penrose 2x2 is a shape-shifting 2x2 twisty puzzle that combines a creative design with a smooth, controllable turning feel. Unlike a standard 2x2, this puzzle changes shape when scrambled, which adds an extra layer of challenge and makes it more engaging for repeat solves. Built with a pro speed cube mechanism and an anti-stick internal design, it’s made to turn smoothly and stay that way through extended practice and collection use.

If you want a compact puzzle that turns smoothly like a speed cube but solves with the added challenge of a shapemod, the DianSheng Penrose 2x2 is a standout choice.
I didn’t expect this to mess with my head the way it did. From the shape, to only having 3 unique faces, I had to really think about how to figure this out. It’s just a 2x2, so it’s easily solvable, and I think it makes a very good challenge for anyone who’s willing to try.
The cube itself feels high quality, turns well, and won’t break easily. For this price point, I’d recommend the Penrose 2x2 for anyone who likes a fun challenge, even without having to learn any new algorithms
