Amazing quality tactile shifter, worth the price.

This is an amazing quality gear shifter and it is easy to use, it is compatible with many systems due to its USB-A Plug-and-play capabilities. I use it daily along with my steering wheel from another company. It is expensive, but was definitely worth my money, it is not too loud and it is fun and enjoyable to use it in driving simulators such as BeamNG.Drive. It has shown little signs of wear over my last year of usage, presenting its good durability.

Really nice shifter very good quality

The media could not be loaded. I really like this shifter it's very good quality and feels very nice to use the gears have a nice clunk when going into gear you also have the option to change the stiffness going into gears but for me I find max stiffness is not stiff enough however I honestly think it's fine at max stiffness I have no problems with it it still has a nice clunk to it but would be nice if it had a bit more resistance it's also nice to have to option to switch to sequential mode for games like dirt rally it works alot better than paddle shift and adds to the emersion it comes with all the tools you need including spare screws and a Alan key it even comes with a very strong table clamp which clamps very well but in my case I decided to hard mount it to my frame with bolts as I have the option overall I'm very happy with this shifter and it's been slot of fun to use I'd 100% recommend this shifter

Good quality shifter

It's a nice shifter and the included mount is study enough for its purpose.It's mostly plastic aside from some metal internals, the knob can also be changed out.The 7 gears + reverse is handy and you can even turn the shifter into an x-axis (possible handbrake solution).It did develop a squeak on that very same x-axis (moving the knob to the right from the center point) but some PTFE WD40 fixed that easily.The gears are short and enter the 'gates' easily and gives good solid feedback so you know your in gear.However I wish the resistance was a little higher, it feels a bit too easy to put into gear, but that's a more immersion complaint as it probably helps during races.Overall great piece of kit for the price and does the job well for a casual sim race.

Mostly good

Has a good shift feel, worked out the box and the included cables are decent quality and have a long length. Only complaint is I use it on a racing stand and the shifter can only be clamp mounted. Even when the clamp is tight during usage the shifter has a tendancy to move around but it isn't that problematic and if you are using a desk it's less of an issue.

Very Responsive

My son loves this and as an upgrade to his wheel setup he loves the feeling of changing gears, great movement and a high quality premium feel to this and very responsive too

Nice

Very good shifter. The gates are magnetic which means it can do most of the work for you. Resistance is good although note that misshifts into 5th instead of 3rd are common. If you are on pc USE A USB C cable as the included cable is for console

Improves SIM racing experience

I like how comfortable it was to hold when shifting gears, and how easy it was to mount and also change gears, as it wasn't stiff. Also the amount of gears was nice, as it had seven gears and a reverse gear. Furthermore, it looked cool and amazing with the black and red colours on it, matching my SIM racing setup. The only problem was that it wasn't compatible with my steering wheel, but that is my fault for having a bad wheel. Would recommend

*WARNING* Great device TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE (Lying + stealing from customers)

Seller is untrustworthy, be WARNED!I sent my broken shifter back to seller under duress (During start of COVID after TM failed to reply to my repair request email).Royal Mail 2nd Class Delivery confirmed delivery was made; but because no signature was required the company lied and said they hadn't received it.Genuinely stole my rig & probably resold it to somebody else by now....AVOID this company 100%.So What happened to the shifter?First time of trying with my new rig EVERYTHING worked just fine.I liked the feel and for classic cars it is excellent...BUT my second time of using this device it has failed.The TH8A shifter now fails to be recognised on any PC even after attempting a full reset/update.After researching more I find that this issue is happening to a LOT of people and it seems to be a PCI/PCB board failure (Thrustmaster are good at sending replacements).Logitech used to be the go-to for cheap racing gear, and I guess it still is. However the G29 shifter is an abomination, this on the other hand is solid, feels realistic and I love it. Shame it doesn't have buttons on it too, but hey all is good.
