That's the first time I see someone talking about colorblind speedcubers. As a colorblind guy, I always had a stickered cube. Thank you for talking about this a little bit. Love your vids.
Me too pog
Chris Olson (cyotheking) is colorblind and for that he uses a special color scheme with pink instead of red
Same for me but i still use gan 356 r s which is stickerless it, it was a bit difficult for the orange and red since i have mild protan and moderate deutan colorblindness
I'm colourblind and have a stickered cube. Yellow and orange look the same so have to sharpie the yellow (not a cuber, just pick it up every year or so to see if I can do it again)
i’m colourblind, and stickerless is so much better looking / easier to tell apart on especially green / orange / yellow
“i just peel off the stickers”
Stickerless: Allow me to introduce myself
a friend that wanted to make a prank "I wanted to swap two stickers on your cube but then I realized it had none".
I mean technically do it u can open the cube take the individual pieces and reassemble
taking apart *

Rubiks "Speed" Cube (not collab. with GAN one) : oh hello, bonjour
I once heard a kid in the bus say and I quote Rubik’s cubes are dumb I there’s it out the window and it broke and another said I peel the stickers off Rubik’s cube is so easy ( say him trying to solve solve he was solving 1 side then moving to other)
i personally love the look of stickerless they just look so much cleaner imo
They kook cheap, tbh
@@Polyglot_English and the orange colour looks super cheap
@@Polyglot_English tell that to the $65+ Gan cubes
@@Polyglot_English ya but why are you talking about yourself
@@Polyglot_English except for gan stickerless, the Gan stickerless that has darker colors looks so cool and elegant
I really appreciate you covering the colorblind aspect. I have to have grey instead of green and black instead of orange on my cubes because of my color deficiency and it means significantly less choice in cubes. It's very frustraiting.
I'd recommend the Moyu RS3M 2020 cube. Best budget cube by far at $9 and is available in stickered so you can change the color scheme.
Literally every review of the cube has been overwhelmingly positive and many have actually made it their main after some customizations, including myself. Would highly recommend it 100%
You could potentially buy six of the same stickerless puzzle, disassemble them, make force cubes, and then get custom sticker sheets
@@toob_noob4381 yeah i just got it yesterday and it is a really good experience, especially compared to other cubes in the similar price range
Can you just put stickers on a stickerless cube, or do they not stick well?
@@BeaDSM you can, and I may have to eventually, but it doesn't look great and for it to be legal you have to sticker all the sides
Me watching the video after buying a stickerless cube:
*sweats nervously*
Me too
Same
Same lol

I can't be the only one who always preffered stickers until I actually tried stickerless lmao
Same lmao
Hi
i think I'm that guy but l found that stickerless turns better for some reason, maybe it's the actual cube.
sci explain
my first cube was titled
What I find good about stickerless is that you can be almost 100% sure that if you're buying a stickerless cube, it will turn at least half-decent, while on stickered you may run into unfilleted cubes that require wrist rotations, like the Original Rubik's series. Of course, you always look closely at what you're buying, but it just seems like an interesting little detail to think about. :)
Yes and no
original rubik's was actually stickerless, they used tiles
@@checkit3916 That’s basically stickered, stickerless is basically just the cube’s colors go to the edges
@@checkit3916 Lol, no they didn't, they absolutely used stickered cubes when these guys first came out.
@@DracoSuaveYup, I’ve still got my original 1980 cube and it’s stickered. Wacky color positioning and all.
So at least US cubes in 1980 were stickered-I hear there were some earlier European cubes before their worldwide release but I know nothing about that.
6:05 That smile Made my Day!
Hi we again met 😅
I don’t think anybody could actually get an unfair advantage with a stickerless. I think that ban was pointless.
Unless you turn really slowly you won't see the colours in the back, which negates any advantage, as by turning really slowly you won't get very far anyway
@@codo8584 exactly
Yeah, 100%
actually, some rouxers recognize the DF color while doing cmll from the internal colors. but that's about it i can think of.
@@guroux Really? That’s interesting
you need to stop burning your cubes in your thumbnails
Yeah. Waste of cubes and money. I could have used them, but instead he burns them.
not to mention all of the harmful fumes hes ejecting into the ozone layer :(
He is secretly following cubehead's video on a fire treated valk
lol
Stop cube violence!!!
I competed back when stickerless was illegal so I was thrilled when it was legalized. Just to find I enjoy stickered more. I like when the stickers get worn. It shows mileage on a cube which I think is cool
My dad is colourblind and uses two different blues in stead of blue and green. This trips me up so much when I use it

I remember when stickerless Cubes were illegal. Crazy bad CUber had to dye his stickerless Dayan zhanchi black😂😂
i remember watching that video a bunch of years ago
Fun fact that video got age restricted
@@laterite137 what? Why was _that_ age restricted 😂
@@anders6016 Mosley likely hacked lol
okay, here's your 69th like.
It would actually be nice to have stickerless cubes reproducing the scheme of stickered cubes with black lines around the pieces. This is the reason why I prefer stickered cubes, the alternance between colors and black (kind of like shadows) make each piece stand out more and you get this really cool 3D aspect like you can really tell each piece is a small cube in itself, which with a stickerless cube is just not possible, it just seems like one big cube. Do you know what I mean?
Edit: I guess what I wanted to say in a few words is that stickerless cubes visually have a lack of depth which I don’t really like.
Nah that would end up looking terrible
I have one like that. It’s a Rubik’s brand cube and I thought it was stickered but when I look at the cube closely I saw that the black rim and the colored centers are both plastic. The only thing that is bad about this cube is that the colors are pretty dull and the turning sucks
@@aki8974 not really
Cubes need tiles like the qiyi ones. They're seemless and look great on their gear pyraminx
Totally agree. I also prefer cubes with more vivid colors, and the lack of black outline leaves the colors a little flat, plus the colors on most stickerless cubes are slacking regardless.
For me, whether or not the cube is stickered actually matters a lot. I have always used a stickerless cube, and when I got a stickered cube, I noticed that I was a lot worse at look ahead - I made more mistakes in F2L and took longer to look.

@@mnbthegamer554 here we have the dumbest person i have ever found
I have always used stickerless cubes, from when I learned all through now. One day a friend and I swapped cubes to see how our times got affected by using each other cubes (I like my cubes fast, he likes them slower). His main was a stickered cube. Not only was I turning bad because the cube was slower then I was use to, but the stickers felt so WEIRD.
I just cant use stickered cubes because of the edge on the sticker.
i love that you mentioned color blindness in this video. I have either protanomaly or deuteranomaly, im not sure which because it is fairly mild and doesnt affect my normal life, but some things like this can be an issue. although i have been able to find stickerless cubes with a 'normal' color scheme that is just different enough between the red/green/orange sides to work, i do undeerstand the issues others might have that would make them prefer stickered cubes
My favorite is the glossy stickerless cubes. The one I use is the Gan 11 M stickerless “UV coated” or whatever it’s called, it has more grip to me, easier to flick, but maybe that’s just bias.
Idk, I like the beaten up sticker look, it gives me the impression of something a lot more rough worn and makes me want to turn faster, also yeah, the frosted plastic and stuff is inconsistent af so stickered is just good for a more consistent feeling against your hand.
I agree
Bruh. I actually have deuteranopia, and when I watched that part of the video, I thought, "bruh... I have to make a comment on this." Also, I love your videos!
I wonder how accurate the filter is. Did they look the same to you?
@@JPerm Yes, actually. Sometimes during F2L, I solve the green and orange pair with white cross, but accidentally put in the edge flipped. Then I don’t notice until OLL, and then I have to fix it. Also, with megaminx, with purple and yellow, and blue and yellow pairs looking VERY similar, when I accidentally put them in each other’s spot, I have to go back, fix F2L, fix S2L, and solve it, which slows down my times drastically.
edit: Did I mention all of my mains are stickerless?
@@JPerm I have severe deuteranopia. That part of the video was really interesting for me! The two cubes looked ALMOST the same, the only difference was the red was a bit darker on the deutan side, other than that no difference. Thank you for talking about this. Much respect
@@AndresJ80 oh man, I struggle with yellow and orange in my stickered cube and green and orange with my stickerless cube.
@@JPerm mine is not as severe so I can tell the difference but some cubes it is harder to tell
A tip for colorblind cubers: nail polish is a wonderful replacement for stickers if you have no choice but to get a stickerless cube, and you can make it comp legal by painting the insides black ( likely spray paint? I've never had to do this).
I'm red/green deuteranopic and I replace orange with black and red with grey. I dont feel like my colorblindness prevents me from speedcubing, even on 12 color megaminx.
“Though I use stickerless, I will continue to point at a color on the cube and say “sticker”.”
- J Perm, 2021
People who use tiles: "I'm playing both sides, so that I always come out on top"
Lol
😁😁😁😁👍
Smart
Me with a normal Rubik's brand cube: I'm playing no sides so I never come out on top
thats...... thats called a stickerless cube (but yeah it looks like a stickered one while being stickerless)
Literally 2 days ago, I was trying to make up my mind if my next cube should be stickered or stickerless now that my mf3rs2m is getting old. This video was perfectly timed and really helped. I'm gonna go with stickerless. Thanks!
4:35 Colorblind people: *those cubes are the same colors*
3:10 don't forget about the nice feeling when a partly peeled sticker goes in beneath your nail while you're turning it fast. Delicious feeling.
Very happy to hear you discuss the accessibility concerns you're aware of! Custom stickers to address colour blindness is a great accomodation that stickerless cubes can't match. You touched on the feeling of surface materials, and that's relevant for accessibility as well. Sensory sensitivity can make certain textures unbearable, so finding a cube style which doesn't trigger sensitivity can be very important as well! Of course, that will vary greatly from person to person, but personally the consistent texture of a stickerless cube is highly preferable from feeling the edges of the stickers and whatnot.
Okay this one isn’t completely stickerless: takes it
Literally 2 seconds after: replaces it
He probably recorded that part after recording the whole video
This was really helpful, thank you😍
LOL 5:49
"oh that's beautiful!"! hehe
I used to love stickered cubes more because they look soooo cool, but once i tried stickerless, i switched almost instantly

@@countryballsanimationsandm5362 haha thanks :)
@@Kewbix I have I an idea 💡 Cube printed with black out lines
Thank you so much for this video, because I am personally colorblind, and I have never gotten a cube because I thought it would be a problem, but this encourages me very much! I think I will get a stickered cube. From the bottom of my heart thank you!
Hello J perm thank you for the tutorials you make it really help me
awesome video, thanks!
I prefer stickered on 3x3, because I love the look. Any bigger cubes, the amount of stickers just makes it not worth it to me, to many that can get damaged, and replacing stickers gets exponentially more annoying. I would probably feel differently if the stickers from SpeedCubeShop weren't as good as they are, so I would still take a stickered 3x3 over a stickerless, given the option.
agreed. the only reason why I bought a official Rubik's cube was because of the looks. (and its stickerless, so it doesnt come off)
Yes. Finally. The moment we've all been waiting for!
8:33 Dio Brando? You are 4 parallel dimensions ahead of us.
Does anyone have any tips on what to do if you need to replace centre pieces of a 7x7? Anywhere that sells spare parts?
Ok wow jperm showed how colour blind people like me feel and now I know a word for it
Deuteranopia
Colour blindness is my excuse for being slow
Hey man you are "just a regular human being"
Lol man you can still do it
Same, although there are various forms of red-green colour blindness. I thought I was protanopic but this video had me looking them up again and I'm more likely deuteranomolous (as are you as it affects about 6% of the male population). I don't find it makes cubing difficult although certain manufacturer's orange shades can be confused with red and cubing under artificial light is quite tough. I've never tried those colour-correcting glasses and wonder what a cube (along with everything else) would look like with them. On the upside, you probably distinguish other shades more easily than people with 'normal' vision - I can see differences between off-whites, for example, that others see as identical. The wiki article on colour blindness is very good so I'll stop regurgitating it...
I also have color blindness for some shades and it sucks when it comes to cubing..
@@pokeround for me, I can't tell apart between yellow and orange and I have to stare really hard to tell the difference. Also yeah red and green are confusing too but not as much as yellow orange for me
Please do a video talking about the differences between glossy, frosted, and pvc.
Hey J Perm,
I just wanted to say thank you for uploading and making vids. I found you by learning my 5x5 after having it for like 2 years and not knowing.
I used be big into cubing 8 years ago. I had a DaYan ZhanChi but i used a beginners method and never got a good time
I recently got back into it and I bought your J PERM edition RS3 M 2020, it’s amazing compared to my old cube.
You’ve helped me get back into something i enjoy during a really difficult time in my life with the pandemic, thank you!
(Hope you see this)
Your videos are wonderful!!!
I actually find my recognition takes longer on stickered puzzles for all cubes except 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7. The reason it doesn't get affected on those three (by my best guess) is because it helps discern which pieces are which part of the center, but as soon as I reach 3x3 stage it gets slower again.
0:19 Cubehead being in his recommendation proves that he actually got over the incident.
...
4:57
Flash back to when some people would get sticker less cubes and either dye them black because the sticker less plastic was "softer" or would buy 6 and combine them to make 6 solid colour cubes lmao. I remember a friend and I going at it about if the black zanchi or sticker less zanchi were better because he said the sticker less one had softer plastic lmao.
Love your editing it’s so smooth and funny
I do have an issue with the sicker less in some lighting the yellow and white can look exactly the same. If it was snickered I could just change of the stickers to something with better contrast. That being said any kind of wear on a stickered cube annoys me and I would be constantly changing stickers. So I prefer sickerless cubes
i think gan frosted cubes are just perfect. my main is the gan 356 x (magnetic) and it is just the perfect cube
mine too !
You know a frosted cube is good once you've turned them glossy
I like the look of stickered cubes but on bigger cubes such a 5x5 or 6x6 stickerless has the advantage of having the color on a piece on a much larger area, making it easier to see the colors on a piece. I noticed this as I have a stickerless 6x6 and a stickered 5x5. Still, the difference isn't much and you can work your way around it of course; you just have to get used to stickered pieces instead.
Hey JPerm, can you do a video on how you setup your CSTimer, i really like the look of your settings.
Saw the vídeo and came running!!!
When i thought deep:
"One can save million" "but sometimes millions Can't save one"
Dude, I would just like to say thank you so so much for your tutorials and also your website jperm.net! Because of you, I am an effective speedcuber with a average of 30 secs! I used to take 2mins to solve but your tutorials were so useful. Thanks again!
i just ordered a stickerless rs3m 2020, waiting for it!!! :)
Here's the Difference:
Stickerless cubes: Don't have stickers
Stickered cubes: Have Stickers
Thank you Mr. helpful
never knew that
And now you know thanks to my sagacious insight
whoa i didnt expect this
I wish there were more tiled that look stickerless. I prefer the look of stickered, but my oc gets tripped when the stickers start wearing down. So I re-sticker... a lot.
I have a Yuxin Kylin, and it's one of my favorites. There's a lot of potential for customization there too... I could see Gan coming up with a way to make the tiles reasonably easy to swap or something.
Great video, thx for that... I have one question: Do you know, if there is a cube on the market that has stickered appearance but is in fact stickerless? Maybe done with print or embedded plastic pieces?
JPERM IS A MINDREADER.
I was going to do the same video soon.
*Pain*
Amazed by how J Perm never runs out of ideas for videos. The old days we had unboxings and tutorials, today we have stuff like #shorts and challenges. Hats off Dylan, you're the best.
6:05 Aww that cute smile!!
☺☺
About to try and get into cubing, and ordered a stickered cube with a custom color scheme. Would've preferred a stickerless otherwise, since they feel more 'premium', but the canonical colorscheme doesn''t make sense to me. When you need to at a glance decide between colors, red orange and yellow (and white and yellow don't have great contrast either) aren't good when there are plenty of other colors to choose from.
Fun fact: you can't afford it.
True
Wtf every one is not poor
I can afford

Well I can afford it but I can't buy it cause I got too many cubes

Uhhh, hey, im pretty new to cubing and im looking forward to getting some of my first speedcubes, apart from the one i have now (Moyu guoguan yuexiao pro) and was wondering if i made any bad decisions in what i want. I want to get a gan 251 M 2x2, a gan 356 XS 3x3, and a Moyu aosu 4x4. Please tell me if ive made a bad decision or tell me something i should get instead. Thanks!
👋 im just wondering, what's your opinion on the gans 356 m ver. 2020? And also what are some good tips? Im kinda slow on cfop but got 36.34.
GAN stickerless with the black insides are by _far_ more sexy than any stickered cube.

I love stickered cubes for their aesthetic.

I also really want a Tengyun just cause it looks amazing lol
I prefer stickerless surprise surprise but I’ve noticed that my large puzzles that are stickered seem to turn better than the ones that are stickerless. I feel like the black plastic yuxin hualong cubes are better than the stickerless ones
Don't know why I've never commented, you are one of the best cubing channels I've seen. You have taught me a LOT. thanks

Thanks

The small difference in sound is that the Valk M was made with slightly bigger gaps (than a regular speedcube) between the edge and corner pieces. This means that it will be significantly louder.
I had the Gan SM once which is stickered, and it felt way better than my current stickerless XS.
Red-green colorblind viewers: Is that comparison accurate? Do the left and the right look the same?
i dont even know how they really look because I see both of them through my colorblindness, right side is colorblind vision for me and left side is double colorblind vision
also colorblindness have levels and different variations the one at the left seems like a very very heavy level of colorblindness almost no one sees like that, but, maybe I actually am, but I cant know because I dont know how normal vision looks like
But what about tiled puzzles like the Kylin V2 M
Like stickered but better (I think)
Ig they are considered stickered
J prem is my fav case and fav youtube channel 😂
I love the sticked gan it’s so smooth I have one as well
Stickered cubes stickers tend to peel off, meaning you have to spend more money on stickers.
Stickerless cubes dont have stickers, but their one drawback is less grip, but you dont have to get stickers.
i got a frosted cube and i think its enough grip
I dont think they really have less grip, in my experience a stickerless cube has the perfect amount of grip for fingertricks and kind of sliding your finger off of it after a turn if that makes sense. And more times than i would like to admit ive kind of got my finger stuck on the edge of a sticker. Also i really really dislike the feeling of the sticker edges on my fingertips. So yeah its clear what side i am on but i really think it comes down to personal preference and previous experiences
Not rlly my stickered 3x3 is normal and didn't show any sticker peeling in like 2-3 years and and i speedrun with it
First for the first time in my first life's first moment 😜
I think you should make a video on a 2x2 journey just like how you made one with the 3x3 one
tbh i think that it would be easy to use shades or tints of the white-black gradient for tritanopia.
