Aspects of Inner Mechanisms Which Make Cubes Unique

[Anonymous]

There's a lot of information out there about which cubes corner cut, which cubes are fast, which cubes are smooth/crispy. I haven't found much about what actually makes cubes the way they are- I've heard scattered things (for instance, rounding the corners of the AV reduces lock-ups) but not very many fundamental rules.

Does anyone have any information on what makes cubes corner cut, feel smooth, move quickly, etc?

Crispy: a bit uneven but not-that-much surfaces makes a cube feel crispy. If the cube uses a soft spring it will be "tender but crisp" (e.g. Maru).

Smooth: smoothness is not a specific aspect of the cube. A cube could be smooth but crispy, smooth and creamy, and smooth but crunchy. To make a cube crunchy the pieces have to be made very precisely and not hitting each other.

Creamy: creamy cubes have a very, very slight texture ion the contacting surfaces of the cubies. But to me, the creamy feel of the cube can be developed by use. For example, when i first got by type C it have a crunchy-crisp feel, and after breaking a little bit it becomes crispy. now that it is completely worn-out, being revived over and over again, it becomes unbelievablly creamy.

I am just simply mentioning the most common terms used here, but htere are actually a lot more (i.e. crunchy, sweet, bitter, clicky, sour, tender, etc).

corner cutting, imo is affected by springs, tension, shape of cubies, roundness of the edges of the cubies, the cubie connector things that fit into the core, etc

So corner cutting is depends on the cube?

This cube is bold, ripe, smooth and creamy. A real mouthful of Cube. Its tiers of ripe pear, fig, honey flavors are framed by smoky, toasty oak. An altogether complex and beautifully crafted cube with a rich butterscotch aftertaste that still has all those delicious flavors chiming in .
