The first CubeSmith users had Giiker i3S cubes (the same that came with Rubiked), but recently the newer Xiaomi model got more popular (due to it's long lasting button battery and the low price). CubeSmith also supports the GAN 356i and the GAN 356i Play cubes.

Some of my users are offering a limited stock of modified Xiaomi cubes for sale ($55/cube). Please click here for more info!

CubeSmith sends the audio to your earpiece/headphone through the media (music) channel. All wired headphones are supported. As for bluetooth, only devices with A2DP capability are supported (if you play music and you hear it, then it will also work with CubeSmith). Here are some equipment you should consider buying:

Mini bluetooth earbud (~$20): click here
My favourite is this standalone but slightly visible earpiece, which can't be seen from the front (so you're covered about 250 degrees). You can steal it in/out while you turn your back to the spectator (to solve the cube behind your back), or you can hide it in a blindfold. The earbud connects automatically when you take it out from the holder box, and starts charging when you put it back.




Wired induction neckloop + micro earpiece (~$20): click here
This is a 2-part set: the neckloop is connected to your phone with a 3.5mm plug, and generates an electromagnetic field received by the invisible earpiece. Volume is decent, earpiece battery lasts for about 2 hours.

AGGER Ultra Box Lite (bluetooth module + earpiece) (~$99): click here
This is the most advanced and most expensive of all (also a 2-part set). The wireless bluetooth module has to be close (10-15cm) to your ear, where you put the 4mm nano earpiece. Volume depends of the distance and affected by turning your head. You can also use this bluetooth module with the micro earpiece from the above set.



Chinese hidden spy earpiece (~$16): click here
This is an earpiece only, which you can use with any neckloop or wireless inductive BT module. I recommend using this earpiece with the Agger box module Lite (see next item). Usually they don't include a battery with the earpiece, so I recommend buying them separately. The battery type is 337 (SR416SW), you'll find cheap ones on Aliexpress (click here).



AGGER box module Lite (~$45): click here
This is only an inductive BT module (with A2DP feature). You can use any inductive spy earpiece with this module, I recommend using this with the Chinese earpiece (see above).

The "G" sticker is just an extra sticker with transparent background. Just find it's edges and gently peel it off the sticker.

You should re-sticker the cube to cover any charging holes, and also to give the cube a more authentic look. You can use any 3x3x3 sticker set, even with different color shades. Here is the sticker set that I recommend:

Here is how I re-sticker a full side of the cube:

Simply take off the covers from green/blue center pieces with your fingernail (or using a flat screwdriver), then attach the charger to the uncovered sides. Push the covers back when finished charging.

The Xiaomi cube has a replaceable CR1632 button battery which should last 365 hours of active usage. If the battery is weak (20% or below) you should replace it. The battery compartment is underneatg the white center piece, so you should remove some pieces from the white layer to get access. You'll need a small X-headed screwdriver to unscrew the lid. Please watch this video that shows you the whole process:

When fully discharged (or sometimes even randomly) the cubes reset themselves, which means they will consider their actual state (pattern) as the solved state. In this case you have to manually solve them, and then perform a "solved reset" within the app (open the Details sheet of the cube, and scroll down to find the RESET button), or use the "coloring reset" in the stock Supercube app. If this happens more than once when they are charged, then the cube might have a faulty component. It seems that about 3% of the cubes have this issue once or more. My advice: always store your cube(s) in a fully solved state, so if they ever get randomly reset, there will be no trouble at all.

The sound is made by the loose magnets inside the pieces. You can take the edge pieces apart and superglue the magnets in, and the cube will sound like a normal cube. (You can leave corner pieces as they are.) Here is a short video tutorial on the process:

This happens on Android phones, where the default text-to-speech engine is not set to Google. Go to your phone's "Settings", and search for "Accessibility" -> "Text-to-speech". Set the engine to Google, and also install the desired language and voice pack. Go back to CubeSmith, then disable and re-enable Audio Guide, and you should hear the "Welcome" speech.

First of all check your in-app settings: go to the section "Audio Guide" and make sure you've selected the correct language. If the problem still persists, go to your phone's "Settings", and search for "Accessibility" -> "Text-to-speech". Most likely it is set to a different language, so make sure you install and select the desired language and voice pack. Go back to CubeSmith, then disable and re-enable Audio Guide, and you should hear the "Welcome" speech in the desired language.
