After watching some videos on YT, I'm starting to get familiarized with intuitive F2L applied to regular 3x3x3 cubes. Having recently discovered mirror blocks cubes, I'm trying to learn intuitive F2L on them, starting the cross either by the thinnest or the thickest pieces. I must say it's...

I was browsing AliEx website in search of a 3x3 cube of which centres have to be oriented, when I stumbled upon these cubes: Being monochrome, the cubes are very confusing (that's the purpose I guess), especially the one with figures. Apparently, each centre has a different figure (1 to 6), but...

I have started recently to (try to) solve the mirror cube. In that purpose I have watched and collected some algorithms from YT. For now, I managed to finish a few solves with these algs, but it is often a hit or miss: When it comes to place the corners, then it becomes rather confusing and...

I've been browsing Aliexpress for a while and found some magic cube keychains at a very decent price. Of course it's not for speedcubing. Any recommendations? For instance, some cubes are 3cm or 3.5cm large, what the most convenient size? (I guess it depends on the cuber's hands/fingers... On...

I read many threads about adjusting the tension: they are either specifically about a certain cubes or the way to achieve it. I am more interested in the feeling/result you are trying to reach that indicates you the tension is right. Personally, when I can do the RUR'U' algorithm in a fluid...

The question is in the title.:)

It took me a week to learn the algorithms and to solve the cube at a comfortable pace 3 months ago. Since then I've been cubing around one or two hours a week. My average is around 1'30, and my best time is 1'09, with the beginner's method. So I was about to learn the 2 look OLL and planning...

So I received this Qiyi Cube a few days ago from Cubezz (impeccable service otherwise), unfortunately, as soon as I unpacked the cube from the blister, one corner fell down. And it doesn't want to stay in place... I wrote an email to Cubezz in hope they could do something, even if it's not...

As a very beginner this question bothers me frequently, especially when I am about to buy a cube. I understood that the later cubes on the market do not make a significant difference for the beginners, since they perform more or less equally. The other question that strikes me is: when...

I am about to to pull the trigger and buy a crystal Yulong, but I am pretty worry about cubing in low light conditions. Apparently the green and blue colours are very alike. I already experience some confusion between white and yellow on my stickerless Yulong and Guanlong in low light. So I m...

Regarding the logo sticker: my Yulong came with a transparent logo sticker on the white center piece, as a beginner, I must admit that it helps me a lot for cubing to recognize the white layer. Unfortunately the edges are starting to wear off or to get a bit dirty. Do you guys usually take...

To the moderators: feel free to move this topic in the right subforum I started cubing yesterday. Originally planing to learn the Roux method and after being quickly stuck, I rapidly moved to the beginner's method as explained by Badmephisto. His explanations are so easy to grasp that I...

Hello, I am a Frenchman in his early 40's exiled in London, and I recently have rediscovered the Rubik's cube. As any kids in the 80's, I got one whose I barely manage to built one layer. So my first goal is just to solve the cube in a reasonable and shameless lapse of time ... Otherwise, I...
