Why is my WitTwo v1 so slow? :/ By the way, it's REALLY loose

Bump.

Is the number of permutations of a 3x3 correct on here? If not, what's the correct number and how do you calculate it (explain like you're talking to someone that knows calculus)?

Bump.

Try cleaning the entire thing (with water/soap or just wipe down all the pieces), relubing, and retensioning (might want to make it tighter).

What happened to Waffo?
Haven't seen him on here in a while.

Got a new ss 4x4 v4 and its not that impressive out of the box,any ideas on how to make it better? When I ordered it I had a feeling that it'll be better than the v3

My stackmat timer has been acting crazy the past few days. Whenever I try to start a solve, it automatically resets itself. After a while (an hour or so), it starts to work again, but this problem shows up again after a few hours. Does this usually happen to old and worn out stackmat timers? Or is it just mine?

Hapend to to one of mine and replacing the Battery help fix it mite want to take a needle and press the reset button.

tensioning and lubing is MANDATORY before complaining

Specifically for the SS4 v4, though, it is recommended that you take some time to break it in. Lockups on mine decreased significantly after doing these three things

Why do most people place logos on the white center and not any other color?

Why do most people place logos on the white center and not any other color?

Probably because it provides the best contrast to make the logo clear.

Have you ever tried to print a logo for example with red background (so it match with the rest of the red stickers)? That red color would be easily a completely different red than the rest of the stickers, and I think that is pretty annoying. However, white is mostly the same. Sort of. (My 4x4 is a counter example, it has darker white stickers than the background of my logo...)

my friend actually place logos anywhere other than white just to differentiate it with others' cube

That's exactly what I thought about when I asked my question

I forgot to mention, clear logos like the dayan logo or the iCubeMart Logo

I just received my shengshou megaminx, and it's not that good. Although it is super smooth, it is really slow. I have lubed it by just taking out three pieces and putting some lube on the core and on some pieces. Should I loosen it, mod it, or just wait for it to break in?

Loosen it up. It will make it amazing.

Today I bought a wittwo from a real store. It was in an orange ish box. Is there a way to tell if it is a v1 or v2?

 

[Wassili]

Yup, v1 has an orange box and the v2 a purple one.

Yeag I'm thinking of doing that as I average 1:50 - 2:10 on my stickerless dayan w/ ridges, whereas I average 2:20-2:40 on my shengshou...
