Hey Goose, there's actually a set screw for the tension on the thrustmaster shifter that very few people know about, it's on the side of it a small hex key
It's pretty clear that the MOZA stuff is built/designed for a full racing sim setup, desk setups are an afterthought. That being said, it is nice that you can still mount it to the desk if you want. Saving for the MOZA stuff as we speak, I really like their wheels and bases, and they keep killing it with all the peripherals. Excited to try them out.
If you want something sturdy to hold it all down and don't have the money to ball out on a full simrig I REALLY recomend the Next level rancing wheel stand 2.0. You can later upgrade it to become a full simrig
you're on your second direct drive wheel, you have a mountable handbrake and shifter as well, it seems like the only logical next step is a wheelstand or a rig. at like $250 for a nice wheelstand with the option for a seat add-on to make it a full cockpit in the future, you can definitely justify the price (especially compared to the TH8A pricing). i use the wheelstand 2.0 from NLR and the ergonomic difference coming from a desk I M M E N S E
For your table setup, a Frex would be perfect. It comes out further than the TH8A and has 4 buttons! And the shift feel is amazing. I recently upgraded from the TH8A the the Frex and the difference is huge. The price is kind of high, but not crazy like the super high end stuff like ProSim. It's a good middle ground between entry level and full on pro level.
Never heard of the Frex.. I’ll have to check that out! We need more middle of the road products for sim racing. Most of us are already in thousands just PC alone haha. I’ll definitely be checking them out!
@@MassBred88 I guess to some it wouldn’t be middle of the road but to me… yes it’s a middle of the road shifter. Compare it to Simucube and ProSim then you’ll see.
the ebay one is perfectly sufficient. In fact i think the clunk sound into gears is 10x more satisfying than both the moza and thrustmaster shifter. As far as reliability goes? i know a lot of people that have them and haven't really dealt with any issues. Like handbrakes, its not a complex piece of equipment to actually make thus making the room for error pretty low and inexpensive. I'd say save your money, buy an ebay shifter and save for the gear that counts
Late comment but the Thrustmaster is designed to be mounted to a desk so its a given that it will have a more "outwards" feel. The other two shifters are more "higher end" and those are 100% designed to be mounted to a sim rig, which is why you need to buy or attach the desk mounts seperately! Just throwing this in here for anyone looking into the hobby.
just so you know, there is a whole range of shifters lightyears beyond those you showed. price reflects that too tho... immersion cost's a lot of money... curious to see if you ever are going to see the benefit of a top level pedal set? that's the upgrade that will benefit you the most, even more so then a good wheel base and steering rim.
Th8a is very flexible you can rotate the mount and shifter however you want. I have it at like a 45 degree angle away from me (on a rig not a desk) Also did they increase the price or something? iirc it wax 150 when I got it...
Honestly TH8A, I don't know what cars other people drive but nowadays most cars have pretty soft shifting, at least mine. However in motorsport the stiffness is most likely a lot higher.
@@kaplanzsolt5949 no thrustmaster is not realistic look at other people's reviews the car shifter is way heavier than the thrustmaster shifter The most realistic is probably the moza shifter
I knew it would happen, moza sends you literally everything, I need a new wheel base and rim so badly but I’m not some UA-camr with a ton of subs soooo… gotta pay for everything
I've had an eBay shifter for about a year with no issues, except sometimes I miss 3rd gear it could do with a stronger centre detent, but other than that great value
1st: The new shifter is insane and a lot cooler and more realistic 2nd: You should get a little table next to you to clamp it. It will be helpful because you wont have to reach like that and 3rd: I love your vids and I watch all of them because you are the best sim racing youtuber ever. This is a long comment
Also if you don't have a sim rig. You can also mount the shifters on a wooden box next to your chair to have them closer to you and it'll cost about the same as the clamp or even less
Dude you should really get some kind of rig to mount everything, it's honestly game changing. Even just like a wheel stand without a seat attached is cash.
You really need a playseat or something similar, goosey. A nice rig for all of your accessories. The shifter would feel a lot more comfortable if you had a proper set up. Great video though.
I love Moza and what they’re doing right now. But I gotta say for H pattern/sequential I gotta go with Simagic DS8X. But you also pay almost 2x the price
I spoiled myself the other day and I bought the th8a, really not disappointed by the quality. AAAAAAND just received my R5 bundle today, I'm really amazed at how it ouperforms the G920, big fan !
got an email from moza last week saying they was backordered. i been waiting since the 9th of march for my order to be processed. MOZA WHERE IS MY SHIFTER!!!.. GREAT CONTENT.. LOVE YOUR SERVERS.. ROCKING THE R5 .. CANT WAIT TO UPGRADE TO THE R9.
6:27 u definitely right i dont have handbreak so i use gear pads for handbreak. if any button on the shifter is really appreciated :) like my older g25 i missed it :)

hmm... interesting
w instructions 😂
Exactly, came here to say this. You can make it way stiffer to move like a truck shifter would be almost.
Always disliked this about my thrustmaster shifter. Who knew all this time I could have changed it. Thx!
Hey gorgeous could you please send me either a new steering wheel or gear shifter my dad won’t get me one

You are so lucky goose! people like me have loved cars for over 9 years and i still can’t get one of these. Amazing video!
You can do it!

Th8a is very flexible you can rotate the mount and shifter however you want. I have it at like a 45 degree angle away from me (on a rig not a desk)
Also did they increase the price or something? iirc it wax 150 when I got it...
Inflation
its around 120€ for me (on sale ofc)
I like the trustmaster one, looks like a very good quality product and the design is good, NOT HEAVY
Day 51 of asking Goose to do a collab with SidWaj playing The Crew 2 together
goose should def make a "budget" setup with all his old or cheap items and compare it to what he has now.
Hey Goose, could you please tell me out of thoose three shifters which one is the most car-like to shift with?
Honestly TH8A, I don't know what cars other people drive but nowadays most cars have pretty soft shifting, at least mine. However in motorsport the stiffness is most likely a lot higher.
@@Goosiest thank you

Best smell in the world? The smell of tires roaring at a drift track!
What a quinscedence you uploaded on my birthday goose makesmy day
Goosiest:i love balls
Heavy balls
The pinky test worked better than I expected on showing how stiff it was. It should return.
1st: The new shifter is insane and a lot cooler and more realistic

and 3rd: I love your vids and I watch all of them because you are the best sim racing youtuber ever.
This is a long comment
I think you can make the moza quieter by attaching the foam bits that came in bag on the gear numbers
Goose goated fr 🐐
Love when you say "Boys!!" . Nice vid btw
😏
Someone NEEDS to send this man a rig. The ergonomics of the shifter and handbrake being on the table looks so uncomfortable
@2:32 @2:43 the gear shifts make a good ASMR sound!
I might be getting my t300rs tommorrow!
This video did help me for which type of steering I should get for my setup
matte finish looks clean
Also if you don't have a sim rig. You can also mount the shifters on a wooden box next to your chair to have them closer to you and it'll cost about the same as the clamp or even less
Congrats goose and we would love to see the 3 different handbrakes
You can easily fix the reaching thing if you buy a small table or an L shape table that way you can easily use the ebay shifter and the mosa shifter
Reall love your unboxing videos goose
Hope you have a good time with your shifter Goose
Goosiest is the best youtuber
There is a mod for the shifter’s table clamp to make it more customizable on the table so please do check that out.
Thanks so much for unboxing, but i prefer to go with the ThrustMaster TH8A. Actualy I like it more than others. I enjoyed alot with your video.
for drifts sake Goose get a Rig all ready running of a table........ a table!
my guy your pc stats are insane for just drift games
If you get a sim rig, you can mount the shifter in a more natural position to your side... :)
Dude you should really get some kind of rig to mount everything, it's honestly game changing. Even just like a wheel stand without a seat attached is cash.
Thrustmaster: Pinkey shifter
Ebay: 2 finger shifter
Moza Racing: He-Man shifter
i recommend putting your shifter and handbrake on an backup table like if you were driving inside a car
Just another day of my 2 day dose of goosiest.
Handbrakes comparison will be really handy,I would love to take a look on it
hey. can you test the TH8S shifter? cuz im planning to buy one and i want to see how it feels! thanks. I love your videos!
it handles just like TH8A shifter, just looks different, worth the buy
I think you are saying that if they are harder to shift that is a down side but I feel like that is better because it will feel more realistic
the moza shifter being heavy to move is more realistic as i have the shifter on my rig, it also feels the same as my commordore vf ss
Goose vids are funny and best video for Forza and CarX Keep It Up💪💪💪💪
I would love to have a steering wheel handbrake,shifter and sim harness (rig) setup but that will never happen in my situation 😢
I love u bro.... ur my best motivator to do stuff in ma life
The best smell is the goosebutt smell
Imagine later sim products can be wireless
And Bluetooth 2.0 upgrade can now pair multiple devices
Imagine technology evolved like that.
Love your videos man❤
You really need a playseat or something similar, goosey. A nice rig for all of your accessories. The shifter would feel a lot more comfortable if you had a proper set up. Great video though.
You should buy a cockpit and VR to improve your driving experience.
I just can't handle that Goosiest is still using his desk instead of a proper rig. But as always great video!
I love my desk #DeskGang

theres a screw on the side of the thrustmaster shifter for the tension use a torch and a flathead screwdriver
inside a circle hole on left side
I bet you could mount the desk clamp on the other side to move it closer to you
love your vids goosiest love u bro
The one thing i don't like about the moza shifter is that you have to push it down to go into the 7th gear.
6:27 u definitely right i dont have handbreak so i use gear pads for handbreak.
if any button on the shifter is really appreciated :)
like my older g25 i missed it :)
