I’ve received a few cubes since the last time I posted. I have some black and some white “old” type 1 (A) cubes. They are great as I indicated in another post.

I’ve also received a type 2 A cube (or is it type A 2?). It’s clicky and it locks up easily. Not the best corner cutter. The type A 2 cube is stable when it comes to piece popping but that’s about all it has going for it. It has raised guides and grooves that are supposed to keep it stable but they prevent it from corner cutting properly.

I’ve also received the New White 3x3x3 speed cube. This is the smoothest cube I have. It has very soft plastic. I haven’t been able to get it to stop popping pieces yet but I’ll keep messing with it. If I can stabilize it then it will make a very perfect cube… not to clicky and not to poppy. That seems to be hard to get.

I wrote these up on my cube site… helpmechris.com/cube/   the site is a work in progress.

I also have a couple of diangsheng (diykit type E speed cube) cubes on the way. I’ll let you know how those work out.

I have some averages to post here… this is where I come back to see my progress… as always… this is just for me but if it helps you solve the Rubik’s cube faster then great.
