(The one on the left is the phob)

PhobGCC is an opensource PCB made to give Gamecube controllers a more consistent experience and a longer life. Excluding shipping and practice, it took me three days as my very first soldering experience. It was fun!

    Elecrow. For 5 boards i paid $130 iirc. And I’ve seen some things in the Discord regarding JLCPCB… For example, for one person they completely covered one of the mounting points.

      That’s the price for boards with assembly? Or just straight pcbs?

        The PCBs. With pre made magnet mounts, tactile z buttons, an already available T3 Gamecube controller, and excluding all the soldering equipment (i already had most of it) and the optional stuff, it costed me about $257, $239 . However that price is not completely right because I split the bill between me and two friends, so it costed more like $85 each. If you don’t have friends interested and you don’t want to sell it might be better to buy a single one on Etsy.

          Damn. I’m in for two, and I’m still on the fence about it. I love my GC controllers but don’t play on them enough to justify spending ~$100 on each, even though I really love working on electronics.
