3x3 Braille fast rubix cube

Bought for my dad as a gift! He loves it!

It probably seems funny that I complain about colors for a product aimed to the colorblind. But, I don't think this was designed by a color blind person. White dots against light blue background does not give enough contrast.. Best is probably white dots and red background. White against dark yellow would also probably work. I gave 5 star because very well made moves very smoothly. Will buy another, if they fix the color contrast.

Though I don't have a visual impairment that requires I read with braille, I thought this would be an interesting cube nonetheless. The good: It's a braille cube. Dots seem adequate for reading (working on solving it unsighted). The blue part of the cube almost has an interesting wood-like faux texture. Can't tell if that was by design or just cheaply made. The bad: Turning feels very tight and not very smooth. Turns almost feel ragged. Cube arrived unsolved. When I did solve the cube, it seems the 3-dot center is not aligned correctly with the outer 3-dot "petals" (see pic). Trying to ascertain if that's an error in my solve? As a side note, this cube did NOT arrive with any solving instructions, however if you can solve a 3x3 cube with colors, it's straight-forward to solve this braille cube. Hope this helps.Update 10/20/2020: Ok, I've discovered the cube is definitely solvable with all the numbers lined up the same way! I call this the "pretty" solve, though I can't imagine that would be a requirement for competition. See last picture for the "pretty" solve where the 3-side, 2-side and 6-side all have their numbers facing one direction.

Well, I ordered this for a bit of an extra challenge: solving a Rubik's cube in the dark.However, it really is designed for the blind. This is relevant because the height of the bumps on the cubes is only very slight. A reader of Braille doubtless has learned to be very sensitive to the information coming from his fingertips, whereas an ordinary, sighted fellow, not so much.As a result, I find that the real challenge here is not mentally configuring the cube in your mind, but going through the process of becoming more sensitive to what your fingertips are telling you.That is all for now.

Great idea I got the cube as a Christmas gift for a friend who is blind. I hope he enjoys it. I wish the dots where raised more. They aren’t that I was hoping for. It is very flexible.

I bought it for my mom and she hasn't put it down since

My Aunt is blind and this provided some fun just twisting the cube around and providing tactile feel.It’s not really in braille like I expected but nonetheless it’s a great toy or fidget item.Thank you!!!!!

Bought this for a friend who is blind. He had a blast learning!
