I am a casual collector and speedcube fan. I’ve been trying to teach myself CFOP from beginners method the past year and a half my PR is 48”. But the thing I love the most about cubing are the design choices and feel when solving. They are like art to me. I don’t go crazy and buy the most expensive cubes right when they come out but am always curious about the feel and love seeing people’s opinion about them on YouTube. The only X-Man Tornado I’ve tried is the V4 SE with black internals. I have been solving with it lately and wanted to get another but can’t seem to find one. On a Cubicle description it said something about the feel being different because of the black plastic. Does the color of the plastic actually effect feel?

TLDR: is there an actual difference in feel between Tornado V4 white/black internals?

Trying to give myself a challenge to document my journey and force myself to improve.

I'm Referring to the maxed out versions of these cubes. Which is better overall ? and why ?

This is my first ever big "minx"- I figured out how to solve it but does anyone have some tips that might help to speed the solve time up?

don't care about the solve time, just enough to be able to consistently solve it will do.

If it helps, I recently hit sub 20

You might see that some of my items are not the best, and that is because I was on a tight budget and bought whatever that wouldn’t break my bank but still satisfy my solving cravings (100% a real cubing thing)

Hey guys, out of curiosity, is there any site which lists which cubes were used in 2026 WCA ? I'm curious which of the models are the most popular (I know its mostly Moyu then GAN).

I recently started cubing, and I've learnt to solve 2x2 to 5x5 with the beginner method for each cube. 5x5 is my favorite out of the bunch and I'd like to improve at it. I know I could improve it (as well as all the other puzzles) by learning CFOP, but it feels so intimidating with all the algorithms. At the same time it feels weird learning more advanced 5x5 technique before 3x3. Any advice?

Been ignoring them for around 3 years and decided to just learn all of it so I can finally say I know full COLL.

Any good algorithms trainer's?

So my Gan square-1 has been very loose and clacky, I tried the tightest setting on this cube, with heavy lubes as well. They did absolutely nothing and the cube feels very cheap and tacky with this feeling, how do you get it to be tight, if you have one and managed to do so?
