New "Rubik's" products

[Stryker X7]

There are two new Rubik's products coming out this year: the Rubik's 360 and the Rubik's TouchCube.

Rubik's 360:

Rubik's TouchCube:

I'm definitely getting a Rubik's 360, but not the TouchCube (it's $149.99)

Yeah, there were threads days ago about this. The TouchCube looks hard to use.

wow, what a pricetag....

Accelerometers aren't cheap.

 

[Ellis]

wait... why does it need an accelerometer?

The Touch Cube just looks like something a rich kid would show off with, it doesn't seem like anything a cuber would buy

 

[maxicuber]

whats the touch cube BTW

wait... why does it need an accelerometer?

So that you can't move the layers that you're gripping, I think.

how does the 360 work?

how does the 360 work?

basically, there are 3 layers of spheres. i believe you scramble it by shaking it really hard... the goal is to try to get the balls to its designated area. you turn the little bumps on the side like a knob to get the ball from the center to the bumps...

^this is just according to wat i saw in videos...

firstly its "chance". Well I have to take a plane there.this time it would be after my exams,but I am going to sit for a national exam the next term.So I will have to put down my cube for a while.I don't think my parents will allow me though. Maybe have at the end-of the year,Malaysia would be nice,I can just drive threre.

Exactly. You can only do moves on U.

As I already mentioned in another thread about the rubiks 360, some shops may even sell it for less than that:

The Touch Cube looks cool but still i think it would to be hard to use

 

[lostcuber108]

I would have to think that the Rubik's touch cube would have to go down in price. Do you think this would have the potential to be a fast cube?

 

[daniel0731ex]

i think the touch cube could work like the gliding cube?

 

[ManSpider]

I think that rubiks touch would be a good thing in learning algs or other methods. Then it really would be useful
