Comments.Text: "Compatible with everything" you mean bars/3.18mm, studs, other System or Duplo elements? Which portion of the pictured element is "compatible" shaft ends or its middle? It would be helpful to have another LEGO element placed nearby.

  Whatever brand it is, I don't think it's Mega Bloks, because I got a bulk lot of those recently and found a Mega Bloks piece like this, except its ends aren't rounded like your one (I know my piece is Mega Bloks because it's the same dark speckled grey as the other piece in the photo which says Mega Bloks on it).
