The Results Are In

I discussed the 4 cubes I have recently and wondered if there is a better one out there that is quiet, smooth, and has easy color recognition in dim light. I even posed the question to my puzzling Facebook friends. I haven't gotten any feedback from them yet but as far as my 4 cubes go here is what I think this morning.


  1. The Zanchi 5 Stickerless is the quietest, smoothest, colorifest cube.
  2. The Rubik's Tiled is noisy and clunky, but the colors are good and for some reason in spite of the noise and clunkiness I like to use it.
  3. The Dreampark is smooth but has that sometimes annoying spring sound. The colors are good in bright light but not in dim light.
  4. The Duncan needs more trials before I decide if I prefer it over the Dreampark. I like the look and feel of the Dreampark better, but Duncan may have an edge in the sound category.
I don't know if I could do better than the Zanchi 5 Stickerless. It is for sure my favorite at this point.
