How can I tell the difference between JSK and JSK clone?

[ISuckAtCubing]

I got a cube today, I'm not sure if it is a JSK or JSK clone, I have a JSK clone already, and the cube I got today is saying that it is JSK, is there any way I could tell if it is a JSK or JSK clone?

Pictures?

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

OK, I will try to post some pictures of it

sorry, I have a crappy camera

Even though the photos are horrible, I can still tell that it's a JSK. Where did you get it?

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

I got that from popbuying.com only $12, how could you tell, it looks the same as my JSK clone

What's the difference between the new Rubik's DIY and the JSK, and the JSK clone?

the rubik's DIY really weren't that different at first, but after they changed the springs and now the center pieces, i think they're pretty much identical now.


but the major diffference is that the original JSK comes assembled and have the weird logo on the white centercap. Rubik's DIY, on the other hand, have the normal logo.

as for JSK clone, it comes pre-assembled and have many different colors. the color scheme is kind of inconventional, it have white, yellow, and blue on adjascent sides


oh and just to tell you, the JSK could have both BOY and BYO color schemes, depending on where you bought it.

oh, thx for the info, and i remember that JSK clone's screw and spring would become more loose after you do more solves

More likely you're crappy at using it properly (just like you're unable to resize to a reasonable size). Use macro mode, don't get too close.

Resize your pictures with Office Picture Manager; it`s very easy to do. 640x480 is a very good size to embed. Resize your images before upload to an image host page is a good thing too. I`m not an expert in photography but with patience you will get what you want. For this kind of things Macro is the way.

On Topic: I own a JSK from Tribox and a few JSK Clone from C4Y. All the pieces are exactly the same but the real thing come in a box, assembled, with a Rubik`s stand, two mini screwdrivers and a little bottle of lube. This logo means it´s the real JSK:

This photo, taked in Macro mode, was resized from a 8.2 Megapixels camera , in max resolution,to 640x480 and weights only 38KB; easy to upload and good for embed.
