What kind of weird cube is this?

[Akuma]

This has to be the strangest 3x3 I have laid my eyes on.

The center piece are square but the edge pieces are rectangular? The corner pieces are the smallest pieces on the cube.

The cube is also significantly smaller than a normal 3x3x3 and the edge pieces are really weird.


Is this acube specifically designed for OH or for people who have small hands?

Also, where the heck can I buy stickers for this cube?
Should I buy normal 3x3x3 stickers and cut them myself to fit?


Thanks for the help

Alpha 52mm.
Use "Cube Identification thread" next.

I am sorry for not posting it in the CUbe IDentification Thread.

What do we know about this cube? Is it specially designed for OH solving?
Where can I find stickers for this thing? I can't find any on CubeSmith.

I myself have ordered this cube, it's here tomorrow so I can tell you more, but 4x4 or 3x3 small sizes stickers might work.

I have a mini A, and agree with M4rQu5, it sure looks like a small Alpha. Something that might help you in the future to identify cubes is also Stefan Pochmann's website: http://www.speedcubes.net. Although he said a 52mm, my mini alpha is 46mm (but both sizes do exist, a standard Alpha size is 55-56mm).

There are various "mini" cube types that have been made, I'm not sure if the specific reason behind the smaller cubes is for OH, or maybe just people with smaller hands (kids?), etc. I know that my mini A is pretty fast though.
