I can't see why not. The regulations don't mention anything about coloured cubes as long as it's solveable.

How long does it take the pillowed cube syndrome i.e. cubes feel wierd after playing with 7x7, kinda convex.
And also is there a way to get over this so this syndrome doesn't occur

I got it. It's actually pretty nice. But I sold it.
as long as they are not transparent, you are fine.
Warm up with non-pillowed puzzles.THEN start timing yourself. Just keep practicing over and over and over again with all your puzzles. This way they'll just feel more natural in you hands.

WHat about corner cutting capability, smoothness, overrall?

i never tried corner cutting on the QJ minx. sorry, but the smoothness is actually pretty good. Not the best but really good.
however, this is my opinion and you should really just get it to try it out.

Thanks, Ill try to get it. Im tired of solving my china-minx. It's even tighter than a store-bought.

I have a QJ minx that i use for speedsolving. In my opinion it is almost as good as the meffert's minx after setting good tension and properly lubing it. However, it does tend to pop quite a bit which can be annoying on minx. It cuts corners pretty well too

Ok, so ill probably buy it then. At 10 bucks, its pretty cheap for a minx.

How long does it take for Deal Extreme to ship out your orders? I placed mine a week ago and according to their tracking, it hasn't been shipped.

can someone make a sub 15 (preferred) OH 3x3 solve on camera in SLOW MOTION?

I'm sure someone can.
I don't think many people are that fast, what you can do is look at Nakijima's video with the World record solve, download it and slow it down. I know it's not a good angle, it's the best I can suggest.

You don't have to be that fast, they can do a prepared solve.

I neglected to get a screw/spring/washer set with my previous cube4you order. I did pestvic's mod on my storebought 3x3x3 to turn it into a diy with a cube4you core. But now I don't have any washers that fit, and I don't want to make another c4y order (at least for a few months). So I went around my small town to 4 different locations including Home Depot that might have the right washers. None of them did of course. The washers I need are simply too small.
So my question is do craft stores in general that I could drive to have small washers (about M2 in size)? The smallest I could find were M6, and they are way too big. If not, are there any web sites that have the right washers besides c4y, maybe with free shipping...? *goes to check DE*
For now I am using the little jacked up washers that were originally in my 3x3x3 storebought. Also, I'm using the c4y brand spring set from a previous order and it lacks in tension, so the washers help tighten the cube up so it doesn't simply fall apart in my hands. The washers also prevent the scratchy sound the springs make.
Okay, so would these work? http://www.amazon.com/Metric-Washer-DIN-125-2-65mm-5-60mm/dp/B000FMUGIE/ref=pd_bxgy_indust_text_c

is the point-turning octahedron actually a tilted 3x3??
is it possible to mod a 3x3 into a pillowed pyramorphinx by hand?

Have a look at Erik's solves in the Benelux Open finals, the round after his world record:
