It’s a beautiful day for Melee

Take your pick between OEM and Phob motherboards.
OEM is the straightforward stock motherboard with an added heartbeat module to fix snapback and pode

The PhobGCC motherboard (1.2 pictured) brings you consistently reliable, responsive inputs with built in snapback reduction and axis delay settings, using hall sensors and magnets in place of the usual potentiometers for exceptionally long lasting magic. Go with phob 2 if you aren’t sure the difference.

Dichroic bald abxyz, cast rubber sticks

Please put any adjustments you want in the checkout notes, and feel free to DM us with any questions

The Phob requires a 4 port mayflash or ideally nintendo adapter with both usb ports plugged in. I also recommend overclocking your adapter for the best experience.
Some gamecubes or wiis may have a damaged 5V line that will not supply enough power for the phob to function.
Native control must be on and wiis without the built in ports are not compatible.

If the default settings on a phob feel too far from what you’re used to when your controller arrives, the main settings you’ll want to play with to get the feeling right are the X-axis smoothing and shield drop values.
If you are used to playing with a capacitor or pode, setting x-axis delay somewhere 5-9 will feel most natural, and allow you to do down & in single motion ledgedashes in the 7-9 range. You can also set the y-axis snapback filter to 0 to further improve ledgedashes, at the tradeoff of vertical snapback returning.
For shield drop corners, y-axis value -0.7375 provides the best feeling shield drops and ledgedashes.
Raising it higher up to -0.6875 opens up ftilt out of crouch and another step up at -0.6750 will let you walk out of asdi down to open up more reversal opportunities.
If you’re having a hard time adjusting your pivot timing, try out the x-axis waveshaping setting around the higher end of the scale.

The T3 stickbox will still wear down and need replacement when it gets too wobbly. It only takes a small phillips head to replace, and we can send you new stickboxes with magnets attached when you feel like it needs a refresh.
Recalibrating the sticks every 5 months or so is recommended to account for any changes
