These DH1H1 magnets are the most commonly used "known good" tried and tested magnets for PhobGCC. Their magnetization is strong and lasting.
For PhobGCC installation, these magnets should always be glued to the magnet mounts, and the magnet mounts should be glued to the stickbox pegs. The stickbox pegs, in turn, need to be completely cleaned from grease. Q-tips with one side drenched in ethanol or isopropylic alcohol work well for this: first rub the drenched side on the peg to dissolve the grease, then rub the dry side to wipe up the dissolved grease.
I recommend adding a small amount of glue (cyanacrylate-based glue like superglue works best for this application) into the slit that slides onto the peg first. Only use a little bit, ideally apply a small droplet with a toothpick and spread it to the whole surface evenly, then quickly insert the magnet into the slot (long-nose pliers work well for pressing it in all the way) / push the mount onto the stickbox peg.
As the nylon material is suited very well for friction fit, even without using any glue, the mounts are unlikely to come off. It's only in situations such as blunt impact (dropping the controller) that there's a real risk of the mounts falling off the stickbox pegs.
Due to production variation, some magnet mounts (<2%) won't stick to the pegs well immediately. In this case, it's best to keep them pressed to the stickbox pegs for about 20-30 seconds after the super glue was spread along the slit.
When ordering the 10-piece brackets, it's best to cut the individual mounts from the bracket with precise side cutters, such as Knipex 78 61 125. Position them so that the flat side of the side cutter blades sits flush with the surface that the bracket connector stem sits on top of in order to get a clean cut that won't catch on the stickbox.
The shape used is the official design from the PhobGCC guide, which can be found here: https://github.com/PhobGCC/PhobGCC-doc/blob/main/For_Makers/Phob2_Ordering_Guide.md#optional-purchasing-dh1h1-magnet-mounts
The mounts are for PhobGCC 2.0 and not suitable for PhobGCC 1.X.
Material used: 3201 PA-F nylon from JLCPCB
If you are only ordering PhobGCC mounts, especially when located in the US (where the DH1H1 magnets are easy to source), ordering them from JLCPCB is usually the better choice and it only really makes sense to buy them from me if you are buying other items as well or need them quickly.
Outside of the US, however, DH1H1 magnets are almost impossible to buy, so it's quite convenient to buy both from me together.

Works
It works well with the 2 phob I made. No glue needed.

DH1H1 magnets for PhobGCC plus optional mounts
These magnets and mounts are the easiest and cheapest option for very high quality phob 2.0 magnets. The mounts fit perfectly, and they are very well made, you can easely remove the magnets if you need to and there is no friction between the stickbox and the mount that makes the stick very responsive and accurate. The magnets are more reliable and of much higher quality than the regular EU magnets. Very fast shipping to France.
