Switching from white to black cubes

[Leander Wyss]

Hi
I just ordered a 3x3 cube in black. Until now, I only used white cubes, but now I want to give black cubes a chance. In case of the new cube being my new main, is the switch from white to black difficult? Does anyone have any experience?

Thx in advance

JUST DO IT.

I never used a white cube until trying a few out last week and my times were about the same, so I wouldn't say it's too difficult.

You've turned this into a Nike ad.

I would say get a variety of different coloured cubes, it would probably help you in the future for some reason :S

It affects my times, but for other people, it normally doesn't.

I for the most part only use a white cubes but at one time I had half of my speed cubes being black. So it doesn't really matter.

I use both white and black cubes, sometimes even blue cubes. It doesn't affect my recognition at all, I usually need 1 or 2 solves though to get used to the colour when I switch cubes.

I don't have a problem switching between the two.

Do some solves and you'll be fine.

There isn't a difference

I recently got a white zhanchi after puzzle addictions ****ed up my order, and my solve times didn't increase at all, but only because the white cube has white stickers. I have a white type C with black stickers, and that takes me like 25 seconds to solve.

Disagree. I'll assume you are talking about hardware. ex. "Which v-cube is better, white or black". In that case, there is none. But he's talking about recognition.


The only time it affected me was when I bough a ghII cube in white, but it came in like, egg white or something. That slowed me down. I never got used to it, it was like a transparent cube. Just practice a lot and you'll get used to it.

I am not talking about the hardware, I am talking about recognition.

Then you know nothing about recognition.

i used to use all white, and now some of my main cubes are white, and some are black. it doesnt really matter to me, my times are the same.

 

[benskoning]

I use white cubes because its better for zbll recognition for me but if i just CFOP for a solve i use black.

 

[jlow]

As long as the stickers are distinguishable, I can solve on both white and black cubes.

This thread is racist.

Haha, Just kidding.

However, I prefer black.

I personally have some problems with the colours in white cubes, I don't know why but they are somehow confusing for me. If you are very used to white cubes you might have some issues when switching, at least until you get used to them. But it depends on each one, normally it doesn't really matter.
