@@OCRacing Was wondering if you have tried out the PXN A7 H-pattern shifter..? Specifically how it compares to the new’ish Thrustmaster TH8S. It seems like the PXN FFB Wheels are generally sub-par (at best), but the A7 shifter looks potentially promising with PC and Thrustmaster compatibility, etc. while, IMHO, looking Much better than the the plastic TH8S and being about $10 bucks cheaper too. I think it might make a nice addition to my “budget friendly” setup, Lol (T150 w/T-LCM load cell pedals). THANKS! And I Very much appreciate any thoughts/info you may have to share about the product. - Have a Great One 👊!!

You just described me to a T! since I got it in 2019, its done what I've needed it to do. Even with a quick Ebay mod kit to get it working as a sequential shifter! I as a casual off n on player on racing games cannot justify anything more than this Logitech wheel, pedals and shifter package. Perfect for my needs

TH8S is a much better alternative, and it's cheaper.

Honestly, I prefer the shifter modified by custom sim shop. For example they have an H pattern improvement, spring mod and a sequential kit version 2. This makes the shifter so much better and a lot closer to realistic feeling, for example a Honda shifter

@BostonFaith 3 ай бұрын

It makes it way better indeed, but wouldn't call it high end. Still better than a stock TH8A though.

There is also a big plastic worm screw (missing in your one for some reason) that goes upwards through that hole in the clamp part so it is held at three points and needed for for full left/right back/forth stability.

I have this shifter and enjoy it. I would enjoy a sequential shift sure, but for now this shifter does the job very well. My one and only complaint would be that I wish it had a usb connection. Mine connects via vga style connector that plugs in to the g923 wheel base.

@Chio_OB 3 ай бұрын

I liked the one that came with the G25 that could switch between H and sequential. I'm on a DD wheel now and use the paddle shifters apart from when I play spin tyres or European Truck Simulator, I have the TH8S now which is cheap and nasty, lol

I did the spring preload mod, but the ball bearing was buckling and shifting rough, i printed a brace for to frame on the inside of the shifter the holds it closer together in order to enable the higher levels of preload, it was pushing itself apart just had to barely shave the interior housing ill be uploading on thingiverse soon. Also made a top for the shifter with magnets but no gates the gates always fit funny and ultimately broke off for me the extra stiffness from the spring mod and the magnets gives me all the reassurance i need so I've been using the magnetic gateless top for a while now and its pretty legit

I had one years ago, modded a bit, but still too toy-like in the end. Unless you are on console, I would go with an aliexpress/ebay USB shifter for that kind of money (one with hall sensors instead of switches if you can find one). Was miles better than anything I'd used by that point, including TH8 shifters. Still going strong today

Just bought one over Christmas and was disappointed to find out that it only connected to the G wheels and there was no USB. After researching all the forums and Reddit posts, found that the Leo Bodnar USB Adapter is the best for PC users. It comes with software that allows you to tune the shift gates so if you keep misshifting and know you are in the right gate, you can adjust how it's registering on the PC. Apparently, since it's cheap, it does tend to change over time. Overall I'm happy with it considering the price and it makes drifting and training for my real manual car a heck of a lot easier compared to looking for the paddles.

@MotoMedicine904 3 ай бұрын

I'd buy my TH8A twice over before I went back to the Logitech. I tried the Chinese/amazon shifter but that thing was way too loud and stiff. I didnt have the patience to wait for an SHH and i dont like the push down for reverse and 7th on the MOZA shifter. So TH8A it was on Amazon for next day delivery.

The one bad thing about Logitech RN is they don't have a mid or high range shifter at the moment, making it difficult to upgrade your shifter without having to buy a whole new sim wheel. Though, is their a way to make a thrustmaster, fanatec, or any other shifter work with a Logitech wheel base?
