Do cubes for the blind exist?

[Chrish]

I know there are cubes with different shapes on the stickers instead of colors. But are there any cubes that have shapes or little bumps (the kind blind people use to read)? Basically anything a person can feel and be able to make a distinction between the six different sides.

This is just a question whether they exist (in shops), not about quality or durability.

No. But there are stickers. Check Cubesmith.

I can only find stickers for colorblind on cubesmith.

The Rubiks Mirror can be solved for the blind.

Yeah...stickers aren't going to be too helpful for blind people.
And I find it funny that you say no, while someone two posts ahead of you found two examples.

I do remember seeing a cube with raised geometric shapes, but I can't find the link. I'll keep looking and post back here if I find it.

What people mean with "stickers aren't helpful" is that if the cube is just 1 type of sticker, only different colour etc etc..
You may have confused blind and COLOUR blind.

Then what was with the "lolwut?". That makes us assume you don't understand what he said >.>

Yeah, I wouldn't call the things that are on all of the cubes shown so far stickers.

Well, I said lolwut because he said stickers weren't going to help at all. Which makes no sense. I understood that they were talking about for the blind though.

Uhm. I said explicitly, in that sentence...FOR BLIND PEOPLE.
Read, please.

And yeah, I wouldn't call what's on those cubes stickers. Tiles, maybe, but not stickers.
And the only related product that Cubesmith carries is stickers for the colourblind. Which also led us to assume you confused blind with colourblind.

I recall seeing stickers for the blind on a website selling stickers a while ago, I must've thought it was Cubesmith. I'm done with this, there are stickers sold for blind people, there are cubes with stickers on it for blind people. The cube is not for the blind person, the stickers are.

Sorry, person-first language is too cumbersome.
