What do the different cube types mean (a, b, c, d)?

Most of the time when you buy a cube it probably wont feel amazing straight away but after a week or two you will be totally used to it?

I have had a store-bought cube for about a year and it turns as fast as I can turn it, only problem is it pops.. I'm going to try stretch the springs.

Each person probably likes a slightly different type-feel of cube, so experiment with a few (if your friends cube or anything like that) and then choose, or alternatively, but a type a and type d as that seems to be most popular.. I have ordered a CSS from PUZL.co.uk and that has raving reviews from everyone that has them, but they are rather pricey compared to cube4you, etc.

Good luck..

Type Ds are in a packaging that says "Magic Brains Cube"

OH is one handed (already answered) and if you are looking for a good OH cube I reccomend the new type a from 9spuzzles and the oldest and loosest core+centre cubies you can find. I use an ancient storebought core+centre cubies.

Type C FTW!!!!! Really it's just preference. You just have to figure out what cube works best for you. Type Cs are awesome and you should totally try them!!!!

 

[daniel0731ex]

basicly, type C and A has the best quality and performance

type D has a moderate performance, but it's the cheapest

ttype c is thinner and more 'crisp', it's the most similar to the rubik's diy
A is thicker but smoother.

type b are just craps, but their springs are very similar to studio cubes(tough..)


screws(the order is a, b, c, and d):
