Pishock レビュー 

This is hands down the best money I've ever spent on a remote toy. It works amazingly well. I'm actually planning to getting a second soon.

Got two pishock and one project babble.
The product are well finished physically, they look neat. And wearing them is pretty satisfying.
Software side, it was a bit tricky for me to setup pishock, so i had to use their wiki, but when I've read carefully the steps, it work great. Only the setup was not easy for me. The only thing to project babble was to position it correctly, which take a few seconds.
So yeah, pretty happy with theses product, and the community is good when you need help

Everything worked fine with pishock. With babble it taked longer then promise to get here but when it did, experience was excellent.

Good product. Product was delivered within the promised timeline. Works well, been using mine for over a year now without complaint.

horrible support and build quality

I purchased a project babble last year in the summer. It was promised to ship many different times with various excuses as to why it was delayed. Even as others were shipping, there was no word. Finally, the item started tracking and it was immediately returned to sender because of a customs mix-up. The response of the company was not that apologetic, but more of the "we are going through this together with you guys." I still haven't gotten the item. Since I ordered it, most of my friends stopped playing VR sadly so I don't have much of a use for it when it does end up arriving. It's honestly a bit of a joke at this point. It might not be a good idea to presell products a year in advance without a time guarantee. Absolute waste of money and time.

Edit to respond to their response:
I’m not really here to need to know about your business plan or how you want to scale your company. You have written three paragraphs of excuses to me and are acting strangely like a victim when you accepted and are still accepting money for a product that is still not in the hands of a lot of people. Only in the second paragraph at the end did you say “I apologize for the frustration, but…” You are a business owner. You took my money from selling me one. I haven’t gotten anything - only a double-sided “apology.” Don’t act like a victim. Yikes

One final edit to respond to your response:
Quite frankly, is it my problem as a buyer of your product to account for anything that might go wrong in the process of making a product? Please continue to sell the product as tons of people still report they haven't gotten one in the US - but I'm sure people have otherwise I guess based on your estimates(?) I work as an importer, that's my job. The way you all handled this situation is quite badly managed. Using a courier like AnPost after learning that there was no way for it to clear customs without a tariff and leading it to a limbo was bound to happen. It's insane to blame consumers for your negligence. It's like if I tried to ship something from a courier like standard Japan Post to the US, it would instantly be blocked because there's no system in place to place tariffs upon the items. I genuinely want a refund. It's insane how there's no responsibility being taken. This is not a way to run a business. Please keep gaslighting me for your mistake. I've told my friends to avoid. Never again.

I have been waiting on a order I was promised in December pushed back to January 5th and then 12th. I was told the object shipped and over a month later I was informed it's been deployed to dispatch and when I finally asked to cancel my order due to obviously not getting it I was told I cant. Seriously find anyone else or buy second hand they are awful. [In reply to their responce. I would like to state my greviences do not lay with their delays however with the constant false promises on shipping. I understand these are small teams of people with little corporate or mass production experience. However you cant keep delaying your shipping after you've sent out notifications your product is out to ship. And I am fully aware customs is out of their control but seriously we are paying 30% of the cost of the product to recive our parcels which wasnt informed to us until 4 months after preorder. Not their fault but it's pretty insane.] My product was shipped then immediately returned to sender... seriously damagd control should have offered refunds avalible and you to attempt to resell your inventory to people who actually want it at this point. Instead of holding hundreds hostage with a awful carrier you chose.

If you're thinking of buying a Pishock you probably haven't heard of OpenShock. Check out OpenShock first! The components of these hubs is worth max 10 bucks each and the shockers are worth max 20 bucks each, all can be sourced cheaply elsewhere.

Pishock overprices their product greatly and justifies it with their software, development and services but all of these are lacking. Support in their discord is slim and for example one of their biggest selling point apps, MultiShock, is currently broken and not being updated as the dev himself admitted to prioritising other projects. and since this software is closed source and he's a solo dev it doesn't get worked on at all. The dev of MultiShock also has several AI generated software projects which leaves me very little faith in the likelihood or quality of future updates to that software.

Overall when I discovered OpenShock exists and has better software, great community support, a working Discord bot and a working Desktop app, I realised I felt completely scammed by this company. and their returns policy are obviously not great but this is justified by "it comes into contact with your body". If they really believe in their product and services and respect their users it would make a lot more sense to proportionally increase the cost of the hub and lower it for the shockers which they do nothing to develop except print their logo on - and then accept no questions asked returns of the hubs. If you charge 90-100 bucks for a hub and 25 for a shocker, it'd still be pretty scammy feeling but a lot better for those users who decide after use they don't want the product anymore.

Edit: After their response: 1. I was a PiShock customer before I heard of or used OpenShock. 2. I switched to OpenShock because the service PiShock provides is no better for a much much higher cost, I wanted to resell my PiShock and recoup some funds I felt scammed if. 3. Oli admitted Multishock is not a priority being worked on due to other projects. 4. Large portion of OpenShock users using PiShock hardware isn't true, they're a minority.

I'm just a random user who was burned by PiShock bad practices and found a much better experience with OpenShock but you can try to downplay it by saying it's ignorance and product placement, I'm just giving my experience. I am certainly not ignorant to how businesses are run and will equally call out other businesses who overcharge and upsell for a bad service.

This company constantly has "some unfortunate issues" and pulls the "we are a small business uwu" card, how much grace do you get? Review of this company based on historical issues without feeling sorry for them -- not worth using.

What can I say this little device or collection is so much fun, it’s got a great community & a dev that interacts with everyone in that community, only thing I would say is it really needs an app rather than a web page but that’s also on the way & it’s not a massive team so I’m waiting that one out.
Good with Pishock I’ve had mine for 2 years now & im not board

I have my Pishocks now since June 27th 2024
at the beginning i had a little problem but thanks to the Support everything works fine since then
in total i own 3 Pishocks and all of them are in a good quality
i just don't like the straps at all because they slip off when making sport but in the end thy still do their job
it's really funny to get shocked and i can recommend it to everyone that should suffer

I already have my Pishock for like 2-3Years never had any problems. Also they have a great Discord Server with lots of fun people :) PiShock is lots of fun within VRchat seeing people flinch when you shock them over the internet :3

Delivery was very quick and support was very helpful.

PiShocks are amazing and fun to use. I love mine!

The shockers can be a little confusing to be set up, bu t the discord is full of helpful individuals. Once you understand it the set up and the overall interface is nice and simplistic.
Shockers work great and are comfortable even wearing it for multiple hours.

Pishock can be difficult to setup but if you reach out to their team on discord they can easily help you. Plus you can then interact with their wonderful community once you age verify if you want to reach out to me on the discord I’m pup Nico I’m very active and love to help shock others (and also get shocked) people also post their streams links on pishock so that you can get a live review of the product my favorite steamer is pinky and he doesn’t charge money to shock him you just need to save up channel points

Good product, good website. Nothing else like a wireless shocker for people on the market, this ine is really nice and compatible with so much or software

Excellent customer service, reliable products, great community

Peoples biggest complaint with with the PiShock seems to be UI. Safe to say it’s drastically improved and become much more simple. Next thing people mention is the “lack of customer support” I guess they just ignore the discord that’s linked all over the website. Staff there is amazing. I had an issue with my pishock at one point. And even though I was working 12 hour shifts and it took us almost a week to figure it out (it was my fault it took that long) staff was kind and patient, and even kept checking in on me in a god way. After it was fixed, I haven’t had an issue since. Especially in recent times. With the creation of another product called StayPutVR I haven’t had this much fun in vr in a long time. The charge on the shockers lasts forever. I know someone who hasn’t charged his in over a year and it still works like normal. This product comes in beautiful packaging, is decently easy to setup and has an active staff willing to help you out the entire way. Do not listen to those who say PiShock have any staff. Because they do. I was skeptical about wether or not I’d even like it when it was being delivered after my partner got it for me. But I love it. And wearing it almost feels natural at this point. I do like being able to limit and temporarily turn off some people’s control to it. Makes it very quick and easy to control if someone starts abusing the power of my PiShock. I love this thing, and plan on getting another one for myself. And one for my partner

The makers of Pishock provide extensive technical support, a direct link to a welcoming community of fellow users, numerous safety warnings and features to improve the experience of the user, and plenty of access to an API to build or use external services and devices with the product. The packaging is high-quality and smartly done, and device setup, reset and configuration is quite easy. Definitely a much better experience than I expected.

Additionally, the mounting brackets (“spacers”) are very intuitive and useful, and the company offers several high quality straps to secure the devices. The experience of using them is very enjoyable, personally, thanks to the fine-grained control and variety of options available. Would recommend.
