Fun fact: If this ever happens, put the 2 on the top at back left and the 2 on the bottom at front right and do:
S' M' U M U2 S
To swap them.
I've seen this from a Jperm video on what to do if you did your cross wrong. But CStimer doesn't let me do S moves, and I was too lazy to rotate to do M and then rotate back 😂

Kinda sus ngl.
sigalig is world class dude. He's Graham Siggins, the person who holds MBLD world record, 59/60 in 59:44 if I remember correctly.
How do you turn virtual cube (like what key for what turn?)
If you go to the about page (hover over the cstimer logo), scroll down to keyboard shortcuts, there is a list of all the keys you can use (don
t worry if you are slow and unfamiliar with the keys first, when I first started solving virtual cubes, I the timer page and the keys page open at the same time). I will also list them here (the keys I use most commonly in my solves).

Can you change the keyboard shortcuts?
I'm not sure about that, I've seen V Achyuthan's virtual cube progression thread and abunickabhi was asking him about having a custom keymap, but V Achyuthan says he doesn't because he doesn't know how to change the keys. I'm supposing you can, but I don't know how or where to change it.

First real solve (still having to look at my screenshot of the key map:

8:29.63
110 moves
0.21 TPS

I normally average 12.5
My first solve took me 3:32 minutes
As you do more and more solves you'll be much faster.
I've done virtual cubes for a little over a month now and I'm averaging 15.

Changed my color scheme to #4 because I think this gives a better visual while solving. Also times are slowly dropping. (bad thing about this color scheme is you can't see the tools words, but grey = single, red = ao5, and blue = ao12)

6.41 tps virtual solve :eek:
First 6 tps! I've been getting 5 tps more and more frequently right now, expecially after I do some 4x4 solves and 3x3 just looks super easy to me.

Orange gives a two move face, and it's an EG-1 I memorized.
