Hi Everybody! I just need some help getting a new 3x3 and some other puzzles like Clock, Mega and 5x5. I need some help trying to figure out which 3x3 should I get? There is like a lot of cubes and I want to probably get a cube within the 20-40 dollar range for 3x3. Also, what Mega and 5x5...

I made some cool little logo stickers so I can tell my cubes apart from others at competitions, these are my first ones complete!

One year ago, I posted an extremely similar post to this, with the title of something like, "What is the worst non-Rubik's brand". Most of the replies were "Dollar store cube" and "Super RS3M 2022". With the cubing market  improved by more than a year's worth of tech, what is now the worst?

There's so much wrong with it. I really try to like it, but pops, even with the best 6x6s just happen. Now I'm missing a centerpiece. What should we do, as cubers, to try and improve 6x6 as a whole event?

What Cubing relating hardware are you getting for Christmas? Can be anything that is cubing-related. I got some cubicle lubes and a new skewb.

Today I tried to make my MoYu3c silent and it works very well. So I recommend the following procedure. I like the MoYu3c and they are pretty cheap. They need some service for the start. First I had cleaned the parts and lubed with dry handsoap. This works well. I do not use silicon oil or oil...

Took apart gan 249 for some lubing after going 2 years with no lube, trying to put back together, but need some help, can't figure out how to insert corners back into the core since the hole is so small!

For example, Mine was a Cyclone Boys 2x2 off of amazon.

I'm doing a presentation for my Research Paper class on the history of 3x3 single world records. Obviously just listing out who got them, when, and how fast they were would be boring and wouldn't qualify as research, so I want some background info! What I'm looking for is the most popular...

Hello, I have been presented with an opportunity to get sponsor at 1k subs! I am nearly at 500 right now. Can someone pls help me by subscribing to me? Channel is HL Cuber. thank you! I am also doing a giveaway right now! You need to be subscribe to be enter! Winners will be announce on June 19...

Hello, I am a student doing a robotics project, you guessed it, a Rubik's cube solver! The device will user linear solenoids to press grasping claws, rotated by steppers or servos, onto the cube faces. Two questions: -Does anyone know the torque required to turn the face of a standard Rubik's...

So, I have recently been thinking about how GAN has been releasing soo many new 3x3s with each one, “surpassing” the last. Which brings up the question, have we reached the limit on 3x3 hardware? When the 356X came out everyone switched to it and it instantly became soo many people’s main 3x3...

This probably wouldn't work, but would it be beneficial to reverse the magnets in edges so the pieces repel each other instead of attracting? It would still align the faces well i think, and it would reduce friction as well. Although getting strong enough magnets to actually cause any friction...

Before purchasing my Gan X, many reviewers stated that the strongest (clear) magnets weren't very strong. I prefer stronger magnets in my cubes (such as the GTS3 M magnets) but decided it would still be worth trying it out. After playing with the Gan X, I realized the magnets were quite weak...

I've grown a bit nostalgic for when I first got into cubing. My favorite cubes, after some time cubing (badly), were my Type-C and Type-F. My Type-F survived, as well as all of my Type-A cubes (versions I through V), Type-C v2, Type-C v3, Type-D, and Type-F v2. My Type-C v1, however, took a fall...

As long as you are using a somewhat modern cube, hardware won't get you faster.... Warning to all newer cubers: you don't have to buy every single new cube on the market because it won't make you faster....

Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if I'm posting incorrectly! I'm interested in cubing and now I want to buy a speedcube. I'm thinking of getting either the Cubicle Labs MF3RS2M, Cubicle Labs Yuxin Little Magic M or the Cubicle Pro Shop Yuxin Huanglong M. Which one do you think will be best for...

Hi all, I have a 55mm black DaYan Zhanchi that I have about ~600 solves on. It's not my main so it's not a huge deal, but it was my first proper speedcube so it's got a special place in my heart. It was very smooth and didn't catch often. However, I opened it up and lubed the core with...

This is an Arduino project I made that uses a Rubik's cube as an input device for gaming.

My Fangshi Illusion finally came in the mail to finish Fangshi Collection. However, I like my cubes really really really loose. So this causes some problem with the Illusion. Since the center caps are recessed into the center pieces, I can't have the tensions super loose like I like them. If...
