I'm going to be getting a 54.5 Weilong for OH. I don't know if I should get stickerless or black. Does a stickerless cube affect any solving aspect during OH?

The only thing that comes to mind is that if you don't like the shades you can't replace them as with stickered cubes. Other than that I always preferred stickered cubes because I thought that the "frame" around the stickers separating one from the other helped me with recognition. In fact I always preferred black base cubes and had problems with white. But lately I'm buying big cubes in stickerless because I would hate to have to replace that many stickers and I'm getting used to it pretty easily so, I'm thinking about getting also other puzzles in stickerless, like 3x3, Pyra, skewb, etc. Only problem with that is my current 3x3 main, Tanglong, which is not available in stickerless, but I think a Yuexiao might do :)

Yeah Im very used to black cubes with my color scheme and using stickerless cubes would be hard for me.

That was exactly my point... only that it was not real, at least my new CB G4 stickerless is giving me absolutely no issues with color recognition so I ordered a stickerless yuxin 5x5 and I'm planning on changing others as well. Maybe 3x3 will remain the exception but, even on that, my current main still is on stock Moyu stickers because I have changed main so much lately that I just couldn't keep up with ordering my custom set of stickers, replacing them, etc. on all my 3x3s.

Do you use your all your 3x3 enough to need to replace your stickers that often ?

No the problem is just that, at the beginning, when I bought a cube I would order a custom sticker set with my shades and would lube the cube, unsticker it and put the new stickers but it takes time so lately I have stopped putting my color scheme on new cubes I buy so, the cubes I use now have stock shades instead of my own. To be honest my custom colors are not very different from Moyu's but, for example, I like my fluro orange better than Moyu orange and my fluro green as well. Right now Moyu stickers have improved in the fact that they cover more area of the pieces so, I think I can live with Moyu shades and not replace them unless they start peeling... which does not seem that will happen, these stickers are durable, man! On the other hand, on the cubes I changed the stickers for TheCubicle one, stickers were starting to chip after some thousand solves.

Yeah I have had one cube for a year and l eft one side moyu red and there hasn't been 1 chip but the cubicle shades are chipped a lot and i enjoy lubing and sticking cubes.
 
I don't really know how to use R' and F' I know what part of the cube they are but I don't know when to do a prime and when not to is that bad or do I not need to know I'm a sub 30 solver.

Prime means counterclockwise
 
How do you fingertrick S and S' without using any Y rotations?

This is important, since I want to be more efficient at using Advanced Colums as my method, which is genuinely the only speedsolving method that feels natural to me.

Can someone give me a v perm lag that has easy triggers and easy to remember.
 
For extended cross when I'm making the block do I use existing f2l pairs or make them because the way I do I make them.
