Big Cubes - Stickerless?

[Myachii]

I was wondering if anyone is like me and would be interested to see companies like MoYu or SS make big stickerless cubes.

The MoYu Aosu is available in stickerless, but to my knowledge there is only one stickerless 5x5 which isn't practical for speedcubing.

I was wondering if anyone else had had this same idea, and whether you would actually use a stickerless 5x5, 6x6 or 7x7 in a competition if they are made legal.

Please leave your thoughts below and participate in the poll, thanks

With the news that stickerless cubes will be allowed in competitions as of next year

Where exactly are these news?

Just going off of what I've heard from the grapevine, the forums, and from youtube.
Is this info not correct?

That's all I can find, so I'm not sure if they really will be allowed.

I've also heard it in a few videos, for example one Q&A I watched asked the YouTuber (don't remember their name) whether or not they were excited for stickerless cubes being made legal, and whether they would change to one as their main.

I'll update the post anyway so it's more general

It appears the thread got off topic without giving you an answer.

MoYu have stickerless AoChuang and AoFu. There're very likely to make stickerless AoShi unless they wait for the version 2.

Big stickerless cubes are already available or in the works. But since they aren't currently comp-legal, I bought exclusively black plastic versions of the whole Ao series. I think having stickerless versions of bigger cubes would be really fun, but it's just too expensive to buy multiple copies of the same cube.

By now, I'm really used to solving on black cubes. So I'm not sure I'll ever throw down for stickerless versions.

Whhhaaaaatt?! Is this for real?

Yep. Thecubicle has the AoFu with a pink or red side and only pink ATM for AoChuang but if the AoFu is anything to go by the red sided version will be released within a couple of months.

While I initially thought that stickerless was better, the fact that you're stuck with whatever shades they come in makes them less preferable for me. The flexibility of being able to have a custom color scheme I can apply to any cube, regardless of brand is a worthwhile tradeoff for the extra expense and maintenance.

Sorry... What I meant was "are they really making an Aoshi v2?"

Oh. I read that somewhere on the forums and since the AoSu came out so fast after the WeiSu because of the bad reception I hope it occurs soon.

I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere. I've seen speculation, but nothing more.

You're right though. It didn't get near as warm a welcome as the Aosu/AoChuang did. Still... I thought the AoShi was fine for what it was.

I'm relatively happy with mine but if it wasn't for the reviews on the forum I would've been disappointed.
