Does anyone know the name of those 3x3s that have roundish cubies instead of squares?

[not_kevin]

Assuming it's the same kind of cube as these (http://cubeforyou.com/305_White-3x3x3-Cube.html - I have the smiley one), they're not very good. They turn very, very, well, to a degree that makes it almost too good at turning. However, they cannot cut corners to save their lives. Plus, they're relatively small, too, so it's disconcerting if you're used to any other kind of 3x3x3.

I was thinking of that one, but I didn't post it because it's no good.

that cube is just like any other 3x3, except the tiles (im assuming they are tiles) are rounded. the cubies arent rounded at all.

They're weird... they're tiles, but they're soft. Like gel, or something.

This thread got me thinking on pillowed 3x3. It just might look really cool and it probably isnt that hard.

Buy a Big Rubiks cube.
sand it.
Stickers!

Pillowed 3x3.

are the cubies round, or are the stickers round?

Sa967St, they are both round, like the 7x7x7

no wonder none of us were getting it right, the cubies aren't round like you said they were. Also, those aren't stickers, they're tiles, and they aren't pillowed like a 7x7x7. lol.

LOL, I realized the one I saw in a video was a type f, my bad.

I meant type f, those are kinda pillow-y right? :3

Nah, they're just more round than other types

oh okay. btw, what are your hamsters (or guinea pig's/rodent's; I know some girls get very angry when you get it wrong) times for the 3x3x3? Are they even yours?

they're guinea pigs, and yes they're mine. They average about 1 minute for 3x3x3, and right now they're learning oll parity so they can solve a 4x4x4

That's what I was thinking about.

Anyway. I don't know how well they turn. I think Arnaud has one, maybe you could ask him.

If you want to save $$$.

I'd guess that "soft" feeling is the thckness of the tiles, so I'd imagine them as being cushiony, kind of like a comfort cube or something. I might have to get one now.

the color scheme is so awkward. Green and Yellow are opposites? And whats with the purple? hahaha i would not enjoy trying to get used to that
