AND the time that made me cross the 14-second ao100 boundary is my current fullstep PB! My actual pb being a 9.298 PLL skip.
Scramble: B U2 B2 U2 R F' L' D F2 R2 L2 D' R2 D' R2 U F U B'

Edit: Added that it’s the ao100 sub-14 boundary that I crossed

Ive been cubing for 3.5 years with my Diansheng solar s3m and i average 21 seconds in 200 solves

My record single is 11.52 pls help how to get consistently below 20

I use cfop method with 4 look last layer but i average about 45 seconds. How can i get to sub 30? What should i do?

Rough Splits:

2x2: 3.52

3x3: 16.95

4x4: 32.58

Cubes:

2x2: Gan 251 M

3x3: Gan 12 M Pro

4x4: Moyu Aosu v7 DT

I have no idea why I'm disproportionately fast on 4x4 compared to my 3x3; it's weird.

Pretty new cuber here, so forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to adjusting the cube. I've had the 12ui Maglev for almost a year and cubed on that exclusive up until a month or so ago when I bought the GAN V100 Maglev. Right out of the box, the V100 feels so much better than the 12ui. Don't know why but when I play on the 12ui, I frequently have lockups and just doesn't feel buttery smooth like the V100.

Any recommendations for setting up my 12ui Maglev to feel comparible to the V100 Maglev?

Got a LL skip on the single(finally broke sub 8) and got the craziest last scramble and preserved 2 f2ls some how(finally broke sub 11 and in the 10s now)

Hi! Im working on an online cube timer for fun on my website to practice web development and i was wondering if any of you guys had any fun ideas to implement? Maybe something like you feel that is missing from cstimer or something random?

i've been cubing for quite a while with knowing 1look pll (minus g perms) and want to learn 1look oll. does anyone have any tips for what order to memorise the algs, or how to remember the algs, or just tips in general

So... i challenges my friend that i can learn 3 style until our next comp and i need your tips

i just started cubing for fun around 2 months ago and average around 25 secs with a pb of 19 secs. i've learned advanced f2l from jperm and am working on learning full pll. what other things can i do to improve further? i've been stuck at 25 secs for a while and i think f2l is my biggest issue, taking ~10 secs. any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Hello.

I'm trying to find a stickerless 5x5 Rubik's Cube. I found them with two different packages: one says "Professor" and the other (I assume newer) says "50 Years."

An online seller tells me their new cube for sale is stickerless, but the packaging is the same as the Professor cubes I saw in videos with stickers.

Did Rubik/Spin Master release a stickerless 5x5 model in recent years? If so, does anyone have photos of its packaging so I can identify it?

Thanks.

I practice like 30 mins per day and 1 hour and 30 mins in a good day, Im sub 15, I started cubing at february of 2025 and stopped at like after 1 and 1 half month, I was doing like 30 seconds there with beginner f2l and beginners method and I came back to practicing cfop at november of 2025, I practiced cfop and I was lowk dumb cuz I practiced it as like alphabetical meaning I started learning A perms to z, the january phase was my phase of prime because I became like sub 16 there really fast and I quit again at February to june, I started again like 4 weeks ago and Im struggling to get to sub 13 below, any tips?, I already know all cfop except on nb perm and z perm

Got this crazy time on 3x3 sadly tho I don’t have the scramble because it was a hand scramble from a family friend 🙈I’m stockeddddd with this time

i’ve bought the V100 before but i lost it, when i tried it i found that the V100 was quite crunchy and i didn’t really like it. 4 years ago, i tried out a friend’s cube but i wasn’t sure if the model. it looked magnetised and its turning was really smooth. People say gan has more crunchy cubes, but i like the cubes that are more muted and less noisy. So my question is this: is the 356 M GES better than V100 in terms of a “premium” feel?

LL skip

Hi guys I have my first comp coming up my pb is 8.499 and my ao5 it’s 23 any tips on how to practice and not get anxiety about my times?

I’m getting back into cubing as I typically do every summer. It’s just been a nice thing to tide me over—I now have a 27.07 PB and have full PLL done, moving into OLL next. I decided it would be time to clean the cube and freshen it up after noticing a deficit in spin speed on one side. My MoYu RS3M V5 MagLev. I loosened the MagLev up to level 3 from 5 (to also account for skill) and applied a mix of Lunar and Martian to it, but I still had the turning slowdown. Come to find out that one of the centers does not spin as fast as the rest when the cube is fully disassembled. Currently it is the red center cap one. All other centers turn smoothly. I am considering loosening that cap side a bit more, but maybe it’s not a center tension issue. I’ve taken some pics of the internals for more advice. Thank you for your help, cubers!

I started about 7 months ago, and i was just wondering if me being at a 18 second average solve time on 3x3 is normal, I also wanted to ask if you guys have any drills i should practice.

it's 3 am in italy, maybe i am tired, but is the drawn scramble wrong? i tried to rescramble my cube like 5 times and it's literally another scramble, did i just forget notation?
