Project "D" from "Bang Good"? How fortunate 😁
Maybe people will stumble on this video expecting something more spicy?😂
Compatible with the “THRUSTmaster” wheels as well.
Perfect review as usual. Straight to the point every time. All questions answered. Love your content.
Cheers Sam
I bought it recently. Works precise. Even my kids liked to learn using manual transmission. It's a little loud when operated, but damn... we are gearheads and we love mechanical sounds.
where did you buy it? link pls
I think it is amazing that the chinese finally get into sim racing gear. The handbrakes, shifters and the quick releases are all fine products and really fairly priced!
And it's crazy that they can make a solid one when logitech and other bigger names create garbage for more money!
i would love to see a full tear down of this.
I ordered one via your link, don't need it but looks cool lol. I like the simplicity of it so gotta be worth a punt!
Hey, after 8 months now
Do you recommend this usb shifter ?!
I'm thinking to get one soon
So do you !?
@@unixl3x434 yes no issues my side. Go for it I say.
@@paulbarber8600 I will. Thanks
Do you know if the alternate one is dampened? The original link says not available anymore:/
Looks like this does not have a sequential mode? Makes sense if pairing with a real sequential or comparing against Logitech, but thought I'd ask.
Ordered. Thanks for the review. I got confirmation that the alternative from AE in your description use microswitches, although it does have the sound dampening compared to the cheap one you reviewed before.
Thanks for that. The picture on the AE page does show the magnet for the hall sensor and no visible microswitches. That is curious and misleading if this is the case.
@@SimRacingCorner yes it does appear to have a magnet on the shaft but they confirmed microswitches. Strange
@@highrevver888 I found another seller on AE using those same pictures. I've emailed both sellers to confirm the specifications. Thanks again for letting me know.
@@SimRacingCorner any word?
Yes, both sellers replied with single word responses. One said microswitches, the other said hall sensors (s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ArAXrT). That's all I can say, hopefully the seller know the difference.
I want to buy a shifter to use on my pc, but I'm still not sure which one
Thrustmaster th8a or this one (with a clamp)?
Is this shifter still sold on Banggood? I can't seem to find it anymore.
Great videos man!Keep up the good work.Does this shifter has sequential mode (and that plastic part that cheaper ones have)?Thanks!
Thank you. Unfortunately, there's no sequential mode.
OK thanks.
do u like this better than the one from aliexpress? They look extremely similar
How does it compare to the shh shifter ?
Any plans on reviewing the VNM shifter?
Would love to know how it compares to this one and the other cheaper aliexpress shifter.
I don't right now, possibly something for the future.
Is this essentially the Tocitaa shifter from Amazon?
did the cheap shifter broke? if so after how long?
anyone know which sensors they use for these ? i bought a cheap ass one.. but it came with micro switches.. so im bout to just take out the pcb.. and figure a way to use sensors like this to make it work
Dammit I wish I saw this before ordering my AliExpress one.
Excellent video ......subbed
Awesome, thank you!
@@SimRacingCorner Do you know if this shifter is compatible with Fanatec wheel bases?
Yes, that's fine, the shifter is independent of the wheelbase, so it works with any wheelbase brand and model. I'm using the shifter in the video alongside my CSL DD.
@@SimRacingCorner thanks very much think i will just order the one you reviewed
Not sure if this is a common issue but I bought the Aliexpress version and sadly have to return it as it is faulty, the magnet isn't strong enough for the hall effect sensors to read its position, upon opening it up it registers if I bring the magnet up to pretty much touch the sensors, very sad. Hopefully a one off issue
I had the same issue but my magnet felt down do to shipping damage
can you change the lateral tension springs on the budget shifter?
You could probably use a Dremel to cut off a small part of the spring if the mechanism is too stiff, but needless to say there's no going back to the original tension from there. That is, unless you can find a matching spring and replace it.
Is there any way to put this on a table or desk? I don’t have a sim rig (and don’t plan on getting one) so an answer would be great
They sell a desk clamp as well
It looks like they are slightly different versions of this. Refinements? The one I got off of amazon is the same, except the body is one piece instead of two, uses surface mount hall effect sensors instead of thru hole, and weaker yellow springs instead of blue.
I wonder where i could get some weaker springs to change the ones i have in mine.
this looks amazing. wish it worked on ps5 tho
Anyone found an old extension that fits?
Could you let us know what profile material you have to setup this shifter, I have a GT Omega Prime Cockpit, Also got a cheap ebay handbrake and Thrustmaster Shifter
I'll record a quick video later so you can see the arrangement.
@@SimRacingCornerthat would be great
No worries, just keep an eye out for later today!
Do you know how "early" each gear gets recognized so if it would be possible to DIY a sequential mode? If I understood correctly the other aliexpress shifter with the microswitches limits the travel in each direction so it doesn't slot in and gets pushed back to the middle. I am looking to 3D print a similar part for this shifter but I didn't order it yet because I'm not sure it would work.
Seq is not possible, the activation point is close to the fully engaged gear
@@SimRacingCorner Thanks for the reply! Maybe I would be able to DIY a solution with 3D printing and magnets but not sure how well that would work.
It's tricky, but I suppose it could be done
@@SimRacingCorner Ok I decided to try it out, however I can't decide if I take the short knob (like in this video) or the long one from Aliexpress, it's gonna be mainly used for Dirt Rally 2 so sequential if I get it to work but also for road cars in AC. If I take the short knob and would like to change it later, is there a thread underneath the rubber/hot glue stuff we can see at 2:40 in the video? And how is the outer thread (that looks bigger than M8?) for the short knob attached to that rubber?
I'd have to cut that off to check to if it's threaded, so I can't do that. I would expect it is M8 threaded, like the microswitched version of this shifter design I reviewed previously. The shaft is the same width/length.
The cheapest have The more realistic sound of change gears in H shifter grill, like a old ferrari
Nice
Any ideas how to adjust the stiffness? I just received the aliexpress one, and damn its stiff, especially 2nd to 3rd is super hard.
They look like the "mould die springs" commonly used for upgrading 3d printer bed springs. Yellow is usually for the lightest load, then blue, red, green and brown in order of increasing load.
@@leaftye mine are yellow so i guess its as light as its gonna get :D maybe after I mount it on my rig it will be fine
Go to the gym pal
Does anyone know if this would work with a drivehub on consoles?
No
How does it compare to “MOD CAMBIO” V3.5 H-SHIFTER?
i have both of them.. and i can say that so far.. the mod cambio.. and the shifter are almost the same... the logitechd with mod cambio feels alright but still very like arcade ish. but with this shifter. i just tightened up some of it added more grease.. and it feels like my old car did.. now just gotta mod my clutch to feel more realistic and some bass shakers.. and maybe build a motion simulator
but honestly .. Moza HGP shifter is best ive tried to date. love that thing and will be grabbing one soon as i get enough cash
I've read many people complain about problems with the Hall effect switches on this shifter.
Is that only a defect that happens when new, or will they be troublesome with age and use?
Yours obviously worked correctly when new - have you had any problems with it since?
No big deal if I get a dud and have to return it, but I'm trying to figure out if there's any risk of it failing after the return period has ended.
I'm interested in anybody's experience with this shifter's long term reliability. I'm looking at the TOCITAA branded version on Amazon, which appears to be the same. Anybody know for sure?
I'm more comfortable with microswitches because I'm more confident I can repair that one if it breaks. But I'd need to dampen the noise on that one, and I know you've said this Hall version has a better feel.
I'm still using this very same shifter, I've had no issues so far.
@@SimRacingCorner i think its sold out cuz i cant find it ???
@@MIKE-yq1co Check this one out that's just arrived ua-cam.com/video/RTlWHKLdVso/v-deo.html
Good review. I ordered the AliExpress version a week and looking forward to using it.
In the video, is that cadwell park and what game is it?
Yes, it's Cadwell Park in Automobilista 2.
@@SimRacingCorner cool. Might have to get that one.
have you used it yet?
@@foaley77 yes it's brilliant for the money.
@@PhilDiasPJD is that the one from AliExpress link looks like there is 2 from there now
Since I can't find info anywhere else, could you please measure the Shifter for me? Height, width and the distance between the two fixing tabs, so I could make a prediction of what I'd need to attach it to my cockpit. I bought it from your link and asked the vendor for the measurements, but no reply at all. Thanks!
Surething... The hole distance between the front and back is 11cm. Width is 2.5-7.5cm
Box height is 11cm (20cm with gear stick), Box Length and width is 9cm
@@SimRacingCorner thank you a ton for all the info and the quick reply!
@@SimRacingCorner hello mate, how's it going? I made a video with more measurements details now that I get the Shifter in my hands and I mentioned your channel so people can watch your more detailed review and also can buy using your product's link so can help you too.

Cheers
Great Video! In your opinion, which is better the SSH shifter or project D shifter? Considering they are priced about the same, which one would you choose?
I haven't tried the SSH yet, so I can't give a fair opinion on that particular question. At some point I will buy an SSH, not sure when though.
@@SimRacingCorner I just ordered my Project D shifter via your Banggood link! I am very excited! The SHH Shifter company is currently on vacation and my order would have been shipped out by July 28th, 2022 so I did not go with SHH. The VNM and Fanatec shifters were out of my budget so I did not choose either. The USD $200 Thrustmaster TH8A and cheaper USD $50/$60 shifters did not seem like a great value so I did not choose either. As of right now, the only great choice is the Project D Shifter for about USD $120 on Banggood. Thank You for your video, you make great content! I would have never known about the Project D shifter without your video.
SHH always seem to have a backlog whenever I've visited the website, they do struggle with keeping up with demand. The Project D shifter is really good, much nicer than the TH8A (I've owned that before).
@@SimRacingCorner My only question about the Project D Shifter is does it have a sequential shifting feature?
No, there isn't a seq mod for this.
Hiya, can you use this shifter in sequential?
No, you have to buy a micro switched version for sequential.
Project D and TOCITAA's gear shifter are the same?
I'm looking for same answer, are they !?
No, but it's probably out of the same factory because they're very close, and the differences are probably minor revisions/improvements. The differences I see are a one piece shell instead of two, surface mount hall effect sensors instead of thru hole, and yellow (weaker) springs instead of blue. It should be easy to find different "mould die springs" if you don't like the yellows. The most significant change is the surface mount hall effect sensors. This design should result in more consistent build quality.
havent been able to find the project d shifter anywhere : (
Did you look up your butt? 🙃
Anyway to mod this to have sequential mode?
I don't think it's impossible but it would be fiddly.
Will this work with forza horizon 5 on Xbox game pass pc???
Pc only
Hey! I am about to buy a shifter. Which one do you recommend more, project D from aliexpress or the sim jack?
Either one are good options, the AliExpress shifters and more or less the same internals.
Thanks for your quick reply. It is hard to choose for me because of the sim jack has cleaner design but i would like to have stronger operating force. Is that +half kg noticeable?@@SimRacingCorner
btw keep up the good work! I really like your content @@SimRacingCorner
Yeah, I can tell a difference in the tension. The Simjack feels decent, but the Project D does have a more solid clunk, which I prefer. Another point to mention is I never miss shifted with the Simjack. Occasionally I did miss shift the Project D shifter. I wouldn't say it's a serious issue, but the Simjack is a bit easier to handle.
@@LotekMTB Thanks very much!
Can I use it with a g923 on pc or do I need that trash ass driving force shifter?
You can use this with your G923 on PC.
can you change the gear knob?
Yes, it's an M8 threaded stick
@@SimRacingCorner did you have to cut off the black rubber piece on the end of the shifter rod? it seems like its glued on :( is it m8 threaded underneath?
I didn't need to cut the plastic piece off, it's the same threaded stick as microswitched version of the shifter (I also reviewed) that uses a standard gear knob.
I got it today, but it doesn’t registering any shift an in the software from trustmaster i cant calibrate it can someone help me ? Thx 🙏🏼
All you need to do is plug it into your PC, and map the gears in the game.
@@SimRacingCorner it dosent work when you go to the gamecontroller settings and go to test it dosent work
So it shows up as a device in the game controllers? Also, do you have hall sensor version or microswitched?
I see no switches but its the version from AliExpress
And this device is shown in windows as ODDOR-GEAR
man i just ordered the one from your other video and now this. that sucks! Why doesn't the seller say that in their listing? like they make it appear just like the other model and this one is clearly superior. that sucks for me
Do what I did. Turn the other one into sequential shifter and use this as your shifter. My setup now consist of lever handbrake, sequential shifter and hand shifter lol
@@jamirvillarosa7924 I CAN DIG IT!!!!
@@jamirvillarosa7924 where do you place it all . I'm thinking of keeping thrustmaster for sequential n this for gears . I have a 40 profile cockpit
@@foaley77 I actually returned this. I did not like the neutral position of the shaft, because it ends up hitting the gates between 3rd and 4th gear. Because of this, it's annoying and not smooth when you switch between 3rd or 4th gear(or whatever gear you set above and below the neutral position)
I kept the first version since it was so easy to mod to make it quieter and have less resistance. Not to mention, can be converted to sequential shifter on the fly. It's pretty much perfect once you mod it. Let me know if you're interested with the mods I did.
But to answer your question:
I bought a simracing L clamp to add additional add-ons on my stand. It's pretty much universal solution for more add-ons on your stand/cockpit
Hi Sim,how can i get your mail ?

How does this compare to the VNM shifter?
I haven't tried the VNM shifter to know that answer.
