      The problem I find with H shifters in sims is that they are a thousand times more difficult to use than in a real car for some reason. In AC my shifts always misshift and I end up in neutral or grinding the gearbox. Something that I have not managed even once in my 25 years of driving h-patterns in real life. I wish they'd just stop with the silly "It's sim so it needs to be difficult herp derp" bullshit and make it work propperly instead.

      @@aabe4327 That is an AC thing, not an H-Pattern thing. H-Pattern shifters work perfectly easily in iRacing. I know exactly what you mean though, I have driven a manual gearbox car exclusively my entire adult life, and yet I find it nearly impossible to do it reliably in AC. iRacing has no such problem, I race the Lotus 79 almost exclusively, and the shifting is fine with an H-Pattern.

    A sequential shifter is more convenient when you are in a rally car with the wheel all over the place drifting. Finding paddle shifters is pretty hard when your steering wheel is all over the place. I tend to like to row my H pattern shifter in Rally cars, but if I go sequential I don't go near the paddle shifters. On a race track I almost always go for the paddles. I'm about to get a blank rally rim without buttons or paddles.

    Literally just got this shifter in today, gotta say that the very tactile feel of the spring mechanism as well as the fact that it's completely made of pretty rugged stainless steel and aluminum which is exactly what I was looking for in a shifter that doesn't cost me an absolute fortune, is awesome. On the other hand, I don't have a full racing cockpit or anything yet, so I'm stuck using the desk clamp. The little grub screw the fits the plate the clamp uses to actually clamp itself on wasn't threaded straight, and so that part of the clamp was wobbling, tightened onto my desk and it's perfectly sturdy now. I'm currently searching for any information about whether you can adjust the tension of the spring in the mechanism, because while I love the tactile feel and great build quality, you really have to put some force in to actually get this thing to shift, and that ends up with my table shaking as well as my monitor. It's not unusable or the tension is so high that it negatively impacts your experience, but if you're still relegated to a desk setup for now like I am, I would definitely want to know that. Especially if my desk wasn't as sturdy as it is and I were someone using a cheaper one, where the spring tension may actually negatively impact your experience on those flimsier tables. TLDR: Good build quality, great tactile feel, spring tension might be a bit excessive for people still using a desk, might shake your desk/monitor, wish I had gotten the taller shifter instead of the standard one because I overestimated how big the default shift knob would be. Great value compared to others.
    Edit: Should clarify I am mainly using this for playing rally racing games, not Forza or ACC or something less stressful

    I think what sequential shifters need is some sort of haptic feedback or rumble in them. So it sort of clunks when you put it into gear. Sort of like in Raceroom where you'll get a light shake in the wheel when you shift up in certain cars

    I own the Heusinkveld shifter. I have not tried the model by Aiologs, although I had their handbrake once. The build quality of the handbrake is amazing, as good as the products by Heusinkveld. However, they can't compared in terms of performance, simply because it's just feels like a hard spring, nothing like a true brake mechanism. As regard the shifter, I'm very happy with the Heusinkveld model. I have seen how the Aiologs shifter works and it looks equally fantastic, maybe a bit with a longer throw. The mechanical sound is nice, but I wouldn't be able to hear it with my headphones, so it's not something to consider in my case. On the other hand, the bent shaft provided with the Heusinkveld model is a very important advantage in my opinion. Once you try it, you can't go back to a straight lever. It just feels more ergonomic. Together with a cylindrical Mugen knob made of aluminum, it feels amazing. Finally, it's true that the Aiologs shifter is less expensive, but you cannot forget customs if you live in Europe. I had to pay extra 80€ to rescue my Aiologs handbrake. The process took several months and a lot of hassle, sending docs and exchanging many e-mails, also because Paypal got my money and never completed the payment. I even had my Paypal account temporally disabled. They considered that ordering something to Russia was illegal. I can't put the blame on this to Ailogs, but it's something to bear in mind.

    • @deftohms3814
      @deftohms3814 9 місяців тому

      I just upgraded from the Heusinkveld to the Aiologs and I have to say it is a night and day difference. The aiologs feels like you definitely just changed a real gear, the heusinkveld felt great for a while but now that I got the aiologs it just feels like a toy. Although, aiologs is much louder, so if that's a concern then definitely stick to the heusinkveld. I believe micro center sells the heusinkveld open box for around $130 which you can't really beat for the price
