LAST LAYER SKIP?!!??!

Picked up my cube for the first time in YONKS! My record before this was 13.38s but I average 20ish. I don't think I'm beating this for years.

How rare actually is a Last Layer Skip

Help to get my new main

Hey guys, so some days ago when I was cubing I noticed that my cube was weird to turn like there was something coming in my way when I was turning so I opened it to find out that its centre piece was broken like it was divided into two parts. Now I am looking for a new main, I am thinking of buying a X-Men Tornado series. V5 is costly so I am thinking of buying V3 or V4 but am confused to decide between the two and to decide which variant. I need some suggestions. One of my concerns is speed I avg around 15-16 sec and my PB is 10.55. I have attached a picture of my Gan 12 (RIP 😭). Pls help me select the right one as my new main

How to adapt to a speed cube for the first time?

I just got this MoYu RS3M V5 yesterday and it's just too fast for me. I've never used a speed cube before but I used to get faster solves with that locky ass cube. I also adjusted the cube (ig?). If I use the same force I've used for many years on this new cube, it just turns twice. I've been getting more DNF than solves if I try to be faster. I feel like if I adapt to this my AVG will be sub 25 instead of my current sub 30. I do intuitive F2L and 4LLL.

Just messing around with some old cubes, translucent dice, and Gorilla glue...

Saw some dice cubes online and decided why not?

Okay... a couple of people wanted to see them scrambled so if you go further down this thread there is a video showing them scrambled. I've solved them all back now. They were fun! 😄

Took a break from cleaning to keep at it and finally figured it out!!

My first cube and my first solve! All in all I think it took me a month. A few minutes a day at work, sometimes a few hours. Tbh I was really anxious to beat this thing and wasnt sure I would be able to. Thought of getting a regular cube to start but naaah. I'm glad I didnt.

Stained glass rubik’s cube lamp!

I made this for my cube-obsessed partner by scrambling one of his cubes and copying the pattern!

How to solve/ what’s wrong with my rubix cube?

I recently had solved my rubix cube “wrong” trying to make new patterns on it I had it solved where all the side pieces matched the center but all the corners were in the mismatched to make a sort of cross. I only did this by turning the cube properly, no stickers were removed and cheated nothing.

Problem starts now when I went to go solve it normally and now my corners are all flipped, I can’t think of how to describe it so here’s a photo of my trying to solve just the white side to show my problem. Whenever I go to move the corner cubes to match the center face they are on the opposite side.

Example: white bottom center cube solving green, orange, white corner. Move cube so white is at the bottom matching white center but the orange side is on the green center and the green side is on the orange center.

I’m sorry for my poor terminology and description as I don’t know it very well and don’t know how to describe it better. I’ve never had this happen and every tutorial I use doesn’t work, any help is appreciated thank you!

Also sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, it was the first one I saw where people were asking questions on solving!

I made a free offline cube timer for Mac and I want to build the rest of it with you all

I wanted something for cubing offline while I'm traveling, so I made this. It's a small timer that lives in the Mac menu bar: 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 scrambles, ao5 and ao12, and all your solves saved on your own computer.

Is this useful to anyone else? And what should I add next? I've been thinking about 1v1 races, a friends list, and ranked matches between friends. Tell me what you'd actually use.

Free and open source:

(link in comments)

How to get it (needs macOS 15 or newer):

  1. Open the link, click Releases on the right, and download CubeHub.zip
  2. Unzip it and drag CubeHub into your Applications folder
  3. Open it. macOS will block it the first time because I haven't paid for an Apple developer account. Click Done, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway
  4. Look for the little cube face in your menu bar and click it

(This tool was built by me and claude (an AI coding tool))

Guhong Pro M

Okay, so I have been thinking to get the Guhong Pro+ M, but after researching for a couple of hours, I saw that some people's Pro+ M's explode after some solves and also is too fast out of the box, and that makes me a little scared, then i saw that the Guhong Pro M (no plus) has none of those problems, so should I buy it? I'm sub 50 with beginner CFOP, and if yes, you want me to buy the Guhong Pro M, not the Pro+, then Maglev or Spring?

Necesito el nombre de este cubo

Tengo este cubo desde hace ya varios años pero por más que trato de encontrar algo de información sobre él no lo consigo. No sé cómo se resuelve y mucho menos cómo se llama. Lo compré en un mercadillo de mi pueblo porque me pareció extraño pero no entiendo siquiera de qué es la modificación, si es un 2x2, un axis o qué. A ver si alguien puede ayudarme.

Best, not super expensive 3x3 to buy?

what's up, im like sub-30 which is not very good, but im looking to upgrade my 3x3 since the best one i have is a random ass cube i bought on a trip. i was looking at the MoYu Super RS3 M 3x3 (Magnetic, MagLev) or smth, but i genuinely have 0 clue what's good or not rn (used to cube like 5 years ago). also do not know what lube to buy to pair with a cube.

thanks for the answers y'all, much appreciated
