Is it worth it to get a QJ (or Stackmat) timer instead of just using a computer timer?

A portable timer is VERY useful. However, do not get a QJ.

You're not going to give a reason?
However, I would recommend the Speed Stacks brand Stackmat Timer from personal experience. It is indeed a very good timer.

and I think QJ is a KO of Stackmat? Either way I remember the huge argument a while back about the accuracy, dunno how that turned out. I'd just buy a Stackmat, (btw some cubers sell used stackmats for a really cheap price, I'm buying one for five bucks Canadian Dollar)

Tell..... me ...... WHO?

lol Eric Limeback, he's not very active on the forum but he goes to my school just saying that look out for opportunities like that, and get to know more cubers

Lucky to know a cuber around your area. In Gainesville, all I know is Edward and Brian Loftus I need a stackmat, does anyone have one?

I am by you.

I meant in Gainesville, but I can consider Florida near. DO you have a stackmat? lol

Yes not for sale though.
Mine battery actually just died this morning.

Question.
EDIT:My green and red light is flashing, And when I hit the power button it does nothing, and the numbers aren't on the screen what is wrong?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the QJ timer debate was settled at "there's no difference."

But if anyone has an old timer they'd be willing to sell, I'm interested.

Not to sound stupid but what is a "z" turn? On cube notation, like how do you turn it lol

Rotate like an F

Rotate like an F

To clarify: You turn the whole cube around 90 degrees in the direction of an F turn.

In relation to 4x4 center commutators:

How could I do the 3 cycle Ubl > Dbr > Ufr?

Help appreciated.

 

[Faz]

This is a 3 cycle disguised as a 2 cycle right?

What I would do is y2 f2 l' F2 l f2 l' F2 l
This cycles Dbr - Ubl - Bld

Next is just a 2 cycle

Do a y from the current position r' d r U' r' d' r U

My cross sucks alot, should I go full colour neutral? Will this increase my chances for an easy cross? And I am currently averaging 22-23 sec. Thanks.

 

[imbatt]

Can someone tell me what 's a KO ( vcube KO or sth like that ). Thanks in advance

Color neutrality increases the chances of getting an easy cross, but it makes F2L a whole lot harder. Thats why I practice a lot and don't improve that much.

No, it's not a KO. It's a different design. And the accuracy is the same as the Speedstacks timer.

KO means knock-off, or a "fake" cube pretending to be a brand which it isnt.

KO means knock-off, or a "fake" cube pretending to be a brand which it isnt.

Or using the basic design that the other cube uses, as in the YJ 5x5 doesn't advertise itself as a V-cube 5.
