Diansheng Timer (Mold B)

Diansheng Timer (Mold B)

Diansheng Timer (Mold B) is a simple speedcubing timer that measures time to 0.001 s. It works just like the timers cubers use: you place both hands on the touch pads, the timer starts when you lift them and stops when you put them back down. The pad layout matches a typical speedcubing timer, so the habits you build in training carry over to other timers of this type. Available colors: black, white, blue and red.

Mold B or Mold A?

Diansheng makes this timer in two housings. Mold A has a classic, symmetrical shape. Mold B has a more rounded, ergonomic body, and your hands rest on it a little more naturally. Features and timing accuracy are the same in both versions, so the choice comes down to which shape suits you better.

What this cube timer can do

• Timing accurate to 0.001 s, that is, to a thousandth of a second.
• Memory for the last 3 times, so you can go back to earlier solves without writing each one down as you go.
• Mounting holes on the bottom that let you attach the timer to a mat or table so it doesn't slide when you stop it more forcefully.
• Display port that lets you connect an external display, e.g. for group practice or smaller club competitions.

The housing is sturdy and handles energetic stops well, which is a normal part of speedcubing practice.

Who is it for?

This timer is a good choice if you're switching from a phone stopwatch or a computer timer to a physical timer and want to practice starting and stopping with your hands just like at competitions. It's a basic device with no Bluetooth and no app. If you want to send your times to your phone automatically and track statistics, look for a smart timer. For regular practice at home, the Diansheng Mold B is all you need, and it works well as a first timer, also for kids.
