[Help Thread] Puzzle Identification thread

So.. I've been having this cube for about 3 or 4 months. It's really good.
Cuts corners well but sometimes do have a bit of lock ups.
But I've really been wondering what Type is this cube?
A, B, C, D etc? Or is it just some random cube that has no type or whatever.
It has centre caps and you can adjust the tensions.
But i couldn't snap a picture of it because i superglued the caps on
because they were continuously dropping off. I was pretty dumb back then when i got this cube. But oh well, i've been using it for about 3 months and it's not getting any looser and theres no changes in the tension.

Here are some pictures:

The core is a normal core. It looks abit brown, though. Just abit.

Guys, I'm really sorry for the quality. I don't have a camera
so I'm forced to use my webcam.

Your answers to my question will be very very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi.
So I saw this cube in a shop today for £2.99, so I decided to buy it.
Turns out it's a DIY cube, just with low quality stickers and loosely set tension.

Sorry about low quality - phone camera :/
It is more rounded than my type C.

Edge piece, corner piece, core (which is slightly yellow) and two centre caps. The centre caps are deeper than my type C.

Anyone able to identify?
Also, on a side note, where can I get replacement good quality stickers in the UK? I already managed to damage them on this cube :|
Should I still just buy them off cubesmith?

It looks very much like a Ghosthand 1 to me.

@jaycuber:
At first, I thought that was a YJ. Then, it reminded me of an A5. I have absolutely no clue about what it is.
Where did you purchase this? This can give us a really good lead on finding out what it is.
BTW all cubes are different types (IMO) whether they have a letter name or not. Ghosthand cube is a type of cube but it has no letter name. Seems to me like it's a random cube produced in china, but can't be sure. I'm sure Daniel knows what it is. He's Daniel0731ex, and hes never wrong

majic clock
 
So is it just me, or are there 2 different kinds of KO clocks?

There's that majic clock one (as seen in the post above), with that anime looking logo at the bottom right, and then there's another brand that actually says Rubik's Clock on it, as seen on Lightake (SKU30626).

So what's the difference between them, and which one is better?
 
Diamond Cube?????

What is this cube called and if you can please provide a solve link
The mechanism is basically a rubiks core from the inside and it can shapeshift but not well it has eight sides and I recieved it from a friend who traveled to hong kong so he probably bought it off some guy on the street.
Here is a link to the photos sorry the pictures are too big to upload

I have this puzzle. If you mean how to solve it, you solve it like a 3x3 first.
After that you do some U-perms to fix the orientation of some of the "centers".
