DIY

Standard colored cubes can be made tactile using bump dots. You’ll need 45 bump dots, nine each of five different tactile markings. Leave the sixth side of the cube unmarked.

You might achieve better results creating your own tactile markings for consistent feel. Use a 3D printer and apply the markings with superglue.

Tactile Starter Cubes

If you’re just starting out, low-cost tactile cubes are easy to find. But if you need help, here are a few links.

Rubik’s Sensory Cube—About US$23. From Spinmaster, owner of the Rubik’s brand name, and designed in partnership with the NFB.

Magic Cube—About US$10. Tactile markings snap out for easy rearrangement. Center piece caps can be removed to access screw.

Tactile Speed Cubes

I’m thrilled that tactile speed cubes are becoming available! Plus, you can always purchase a standard non-tactile speed cube and apply DIY markings.

Texture Cube—This manufacturer starts with a quality speed cube, then applies various textures to five of the six sides.

Blind Dice 3x3x3—About US$15. From Speed Cube Shop.
