The Cube Timer Thread

This is a place to discuss all things cubing timers.

Ok, so for physical timers, I have the QiYi, YJ, and SpeedStacks timer, and I will be getting the Yuxin / Early Stackmat soon.

The YJ timer is easily the best physical timer, not only does it calculate ao5, and have better button arrangements, but it has significantly fewer glitches (like stopping right after you start it). The only reason you should get the Speedstacks is if you want to connect it to a display.

In order of worst to best, it is speedstacks, qiyi, yj.


For device timers, cstimer is the best for computers, but when that doesn’t work (like for me) or when you want to do times easier when you aren’t in front of your cuber, FiveTimer is easily the best. It has very advanced statistics for mobile timers and lots of features, it does cost $2 but is well worth it.
 
Best physical timer is the speedstacks timer imo. It's accurate, durable, and the shape is very comfortable. I do think it's a little expensive, but for me it was worth it because I use it every day. It never glitches, except sometimes when it's connected to CStimer. (Even then it's only like once every 200 solves for me)

The best digital timer undoubtedly is CStimer, no need to say much.
 
Help!

My cstimer has suddenly lost the 'select session' option in 'show times' therefore I can no longer select/access the sessions i set up! :(
