CubeSmith Tiles - Textured or Smooth?

[Asheboy]

Does anyone know what the difference is between the textured and smooth tiles at cubesmith? I've got some on my cube from Puzl and I wanted to put some on my 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5 eastsheens.

uh... the textured ones are textured and the smooth ones are smooth. kinda obvious.. unless I missed something in the question.

I really like this thread, very original (a simple Search this forum "textured" already gives me 3 threads, just to give you one http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8356&highlight=textured);)

The textured tiles feel like fine plastic sandpaper.

The smooth tiles are too smooth for my liking.

I still have trouble deciding which I like best -- stickers, smooth tiles, or textured tiles. I think the textured tiles look and feel the best of the three. But they irritate my finger tips after a few hours. Smooth tiles look better than stickers. But, to my touch, a tiled cube feels ever so slightly bigger than a stickered cube, and feels (to me) like I cannot perform twists as fast. Overall, I enjoy tiled cubes more.

I think you might need to buy the different types for yourself to compare. Also consider getting "bright" stickers to compare against regular stickers.
