[Unofficial] Robert Yau computer 5x5

Hey, I noticed while watching the video that at the end of each step (after centres and after reduction) you pressed an extra button, just wondering what that was? A split timer or some kind of controls-switch maybe? And if so, how did you set that up, because either of those would be pretty useful :)

He's probably switching the size of the slices, there are controls on the number-pad that change how big of a slice you move with what control. (Examble: "I" on the keyboard usually does R, if you change it [I can't recall how] then it does Rw instead).

Good solve Mr. Yau!
 
Yep that's right, pressing space returns the size of the slices. I set my shift keys to 4 and 8. Here's another tip: I set c and , for u' and u respectively. It can helpful at times. I don't know why but I keep pressing space after the edges even though I know I don't need to. Just some weird habit I guess...
