Guys, the plastic all starts out white and then gets dyed. There is absolutely no difference between the two. It's like saying you can feel the difference between a red towel and a blue one.

good point, but never the less all my mains are black and I can cube with white cubes too, it makes no difference to me
 
Black or white ?

Hi all,

I haven't been cubing in a while, and I'm really hesitating, should I get a black or white Dayan Zhanchi ? I'll also get a stickerless, but for competition, any advice ?
 
Are you Michael Jackson? xD

Well, it depends on each person... For example, I like more black cubes than white or stickerless ones, I am used to that kind of plastic and I can recognise stuff better...

I don't know which one is better for you, for the simple reason that I am not you ;)

If you have a cube there, practice with it and see if you find it comfortable or not, then make your decision basing on that

Good luck!
 
Most people use black cubes, but you should use whichever one you like best. BTW stickerless cube are competition legal now :)
 
I used to use black cubes, but switched to white randomly and am loving it. Initially I went with black because that's what was popular, but changed to white because I thought I might change things up a bit. Now I think it looks better too. So really it's a matter of taste, or experimentation. Maybe get both and see how you like them.
 
I have black, white, and stickerless cubes for mains. It all depends on personal preference.
 
Are you sure ? They say on the WCA website : "3d) Puzzles must have coloured parts, which must be one of the following: coloured stickers, coloured tiles, coloured plastic, or painted/printed colours. All coloured parts of a puzzle must be made of a similar material.". Doesn't that mean stickerless cubes aren't legal ?
 
I started with a Rubik's brand way back in the day, didn't even know you could get white cubes let alone stickerless, I went through a phase of buying only white cubes cause I thought it was a bit different. Eventually switched back to black because cubes pick up dust and it's harder to see on black cubes :)

Coloured plastic is on that List, that is what stickerless puzzles are.

Ironically, I have never cleaned my white cubes once, compared to the bi-weekly cleaning I would give my black Weilong.
