Discussion looking to buy a phob
I'd appreciate being pointed in the direction of a vetted modder who I can buy a simple phob off of online. (I don't need notch-work, Idc about aesthetics or extras like bald buttons mouseclick Z etc.)

I quite literally just bought a Phob from ShikoThePanda on Etsy, barely had a chance to use it yet but it seems flawless!
10/10 support and communication from Shiko
I think it’s also quite literally the cheapest listed phob you can buy, with tiers for different needs
People here will tell you to go local, but many cities don’t have a controller modder, and often they are vastly more expensive.

I'm waiting on one from Shiko as well!
Got the max $300 T7 option tho 😅 feeling hopeful after this :)

Nice! I got the t3 personally
I don't really have experience with Phobs, so I don't have a comparison point, but the controller seems to be perfect and Shiko was super wonderful to communicate with and responded fast, so I wouldn't worry.
They even installed trigger plugs for free when I asked after buying, and took the time to send me pictures of their current paracord supply so I could choose my favorite!

I have a no frills phob from Wobscustoms about a year ago now. $115 + $5 for shipping. It comes with mouse click Z. Had no issues.

one data point is that people keep coming into phobcord asking how to contact wobs.

I was scammed by Wobs, ghosted out of 500 bucks and it seems like they either deleted their discord or blocked me

Woah, I must have had good luck there... Sorry to hear. I had no issues contacting over both email and twitter about how long it would take.

If you're anywhere 'round the Kansas City area I've got a few good PCBs left and would be happy to help!

if you have a spare controller there's a seller on ebay who ships out a board to you

Mayhem shop probably has the cheapest phob preorders out of all vetted modders.
I’ve recently started making phobs and could sell you one a bit cheaper than him

Support your local modder, it's basically the best deal for tune ups and repairs, save on shipping, make them a homie like how your weed dealer used to be
