Do you ever solve real cubes?

I very rarely get to handle any real cubes, so nearly all (I'd put it at ~95 ~ 98%) of my solves are on virtual cubes. I have only handled a real standard cube, 4*4*4, and 5*5*5, the latter two being only once.
Anything larger than 5*5*5, I have only solved via cube sims.
Besides.. why spend $50 on a cube I can toy around with for free?

You should learn the keyboard sims - they're way faster, and you could probably get really good at them with practice. I cringe every time I see you post a gabbasoft solve because of how slow that program is to use

Broke the previous one by a sort of impressive 3418.20 seconds.

I'm still at the point where turn speed limitations are not too big of an issue. I still need to improve my general methods and accuracy. I suppose accuracy issues/misclicks make up one of the drawbacks of using a mouse cursor-based sim for my solves. I've found another cube sim where the turn speed is adjustable, so I may switch to that one in the event that Gabbasoft's turn/twist speed limit is too slow for my solving methods.

About the keyboard sims, the layout seems to be very, very confusing. The keys only seem to allow outside layer turns or twisting 1/2 the cube. I don't know how to turn the layer I wish to turn.

ed: merge.

No cubing lately for a few months now, but been doing 1 minx solve every day now for a few days. 4:27.88 PB. It's annoying having to 4+ LLL.
