The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

i just got my first ever sq1,its mf8 brand.

The R layer moves well smooth and freely,but the U and D layers are a bit stiff and they dont turn well.
Has this happened with anyone else before? How to make U and D layers turn well? Do i need to lubricate it?if yes,then how to do it?

Sorry if i sound dumb,i'm not familiar with the sq1 notation yet

If it's NOT the ball core one, take one of the corner caps off from the U layer and one cap off the D layer. Put some lube in the little rails because that's where all the friction is.

If that's not fast enough, one of the side caps should have a screw for adjusting.

Anyone know how the quality of the QJ Pyraminx is? Thanks.

How to find out if its the ball core one or not?

If I have a Stackmat (no memory option, just Power and Reset), can I still plug it into a computer for CCT? It does have the hole for the cable.

If you take a cap off and see this, it's a ball core:

Is those little cap holders aren't in there and it looks a little different, it's the old one.

Q: I don't know much about cube brands but I see people talking about the ghosthand 2x2 as the same as the shengshou 2x2, but now Im reading about a GH 4x4, is it the same cube as the shengshou 4x4?

Hey

What do you guys use for the adajecent and vertical swap for the 2x2 instead of the T and Y permutations

Hello all,
Do you guys think it's worth buying from LighTake? I've heard horror stories about shipping.

The ShenShou iirc, is a screw spring
GH isnt. They both suck

Ive brought from lightake a few times very cheap but the shipping takes about 2 weeks to a month (from hongkkong to new zealand)

comparing to speedcubeshop which takes about 3-5 days which suprised me

thanks for the quick reply.
I live in canada and for some reason speedcubeshop/cube depot/icubemart, basically every major US shop, takes about a 1-3 anyway, but then again I paid... So I don't mind waiting.

I use J (the one that's similar to T) and Y.

whats the shortest way to get to this state? (white on top, green on front) ignore the y's obviously, only done because of the way the app starts.

Ghosthand IS screw-spring.
