Ordered one right when I saw your review, as I've been on the fence about replacing my logitech g27 shifter for a while now - but none of the options really convinced me at the price points. Total price incl VAT came down to around 62 euros. Aliexpress takes care of customs, which saved me 13 euros (which local postal service charge for this). What a deal!
Is it good? Ive been considering getting a shifter for my g29 and figured it might be better just to get this one and ditch the logitech one altogether
Thank you for both of these reviews. I have the logitech but after just over a month it's failed in 3rd and 4th. I run a tiny, young, UA-cam channel and needed a quick replacement that doesn't cost a fortune. Really value your opinion and videos mate, cheers. Just bought one myself. Have a good one.
@benjamin dunlop Hello Benjamin. On the logitech you might be able to mess around and fix it, but after just a month, I feel like I shouldn't have to! I now have this new generic shifter and I really like it. I got the 6+R.
i got this exact shifter for $45 and the conclusion that ive come to is that the value on this thing is exceptionally good. for those who do buy it i strongly recommend you file/sand down the gates and the baseplate and lather up all the moving parts in some new grease along with the sides of the gates and it instantly becomes hands down the best shifter you can get for this price range, seriously
Someone was bouncing it left and right in neutral aha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did it to mine and it started squeaking it magically went away after I tilted the stick to the right and blew in it don’t know if that fixed it but it stopped 🤣🤣
@@jost6953 I haven’t modded mine yet, I’m still thinking of what to put inside it. I think I might add some car deadening on the inside walls so it sounds less tinny, and I might sand it down a bit
This truly is better than logitech or thrustmaster and even has nicer feeling than SHH. You can use it with force and You still get the tactile feedback. Cons are missing sq mode and the loud clunky metallic sound.(but there is enough space inside for some sound absortion foam etc. - sounds better after that✌️) 5/5 for this price.
They have since updated the seq plastic piece by adding a small screw and nut to tighten it down. Sequential mode is nothing remarkable,i still use my SHH for sequential.
Being all metal construction with that resistance/detent system looking robust look like it potentially could make a perfect floor shifter for ets2/ats
Just ordered mine! Really excited, this is my first shifter after my Driving Force GT Thank you for also reviewing niche products on the market You deserve way more attention my man👍
Been after an H pattern for a while but couldn’t justify the cost of a fanatec at the minute. Just ordered one of these straight after watching your review. Thanks 👍
@@OculusDrift I'd love to get some help with this! I want one, but not sure if i'll be able to mount. Can you please confirm the front to back moutning point distance?
just ordered this one (well very similar one) with hall effect sensors for 40euros including shipping. I just needed something to get the job done and apparently this is really good and not just for the cheap price.
Ordered off the back of your excellent videos on this shifter I'm hoping it's better than the SSH newt I've been using as it felt a little numb and not as accurate as I'd like.... definitely worth giving it a go for the price!
Did you ever receive your SSH Newt? How does it compare with the budget Aliexpress shifter? Currently on the fence between them both and wanna pull the trigger on something. The budget ali shifter saves me about $50--60 USD and I can basically get it tomorrow, whereas the SSH Newt will take probably 3 weeks.
I'm tired of mine. The side to side spring-loaded system means you have to use subtle force to make sure it goes into 5 and 6. I'm smacking into the dividers all the time instead of having a good mechanism to go from gate to gate
I've bought one. Arrives tomorrow. Need to figure out a mount before use but I'll get there. It's an IKEA unit, sturdy for now. Thrustmaster TMX with 2 pedals for £50, Additional T3PA pedals for £39 and now a variant this shifter for £55. 7+R with sequential addon. This pleases me. Your review helped with the final decision. Thanks.
So a quick update. It came but at my racing seat there is this part where you can put you shifter on. It was to small, so i had to do some diy stiff for 2 hous. But it works and it‘s a great shifter. Maybe i could built myself a sim rig in the hollydaysbc i can‘t afford one😅
I just got one of these. Coming from the Logitech shifter, this one is awesome, it feels really good. You get precise physical feedback of exactly when it goes into/out of gear. It just feels very nice to use. The sequential adapter is also very nice and simple. In itself, it is cheaper than the Logitech one, for me it cost a little bit more but only because of the table mount. My only problem is that it's a bit loud.
Ive ordered myself one from the link along with a ebrake from your other video, looking forward to uising them to get into sim for real, I have an oculus so having all the kit at a good budget is be great.
I like the sturdiness of the shifter, but I wish there was a way to make it a little less resistant. There's no travel between the gears, its just neutral, click, gear. Also its very loud and cant mount correctly on the average g29/g920 stand. If you have no sleeping babies at home, I recommend it.
all metal and less complicated internals translates to sturdy and user serviceable. It just blows my mind how it just uses microswitches. this means its easier to replace (if you have the soldering know-how, because fighting sticks use microswitches as well and there is a modding scene for arcade sticks). All that for less than half what a TH8 costs.
honestly, I was fortunate enough to have small electronics hobbies in highschool and college, which means that I have been able to service so many small electronic devices where there was just a bad solder joint or bad trace, where a lot of people woulda just tossed and got a new one. It's a great practical skill for much beyond just modding your peripherals!
Would you recommend going for the metal shifter off of AliExpress or eBay over the TH8S? I have a T248 and would like the best experience for the price.
I bought this shifter in black for $45.89 from eBay switching the G29 shifter and it's 1000% times better than it! I mounted it with different bolts and nuts as well.
@@aaron_mclaren5453 what about if you don't have a drill as you are young and parents have no experience? Is there another way to put it on a desk? Asking Before I buy one
As a metal fabricator I like the design! It's looks great, I'm very interested to see if it feels THAT much better than th8s! Looks like it does, any tension adjustments?
Great! I have a G27 which I've already Moza gear to replace - all but the H-shifter. Couldn't justify spending so much money on a Fanatec or TM one. This solves that issue, just ordered one :) thank you!
im very new to sim racing and on a tight budget too, i wanted to know if this works with any wheel or does it only work for the wheels it says in the aliexpress page, i noticed that its a usb shifter so im guessing it should work with anything Edit : im also confused if it does come with the mounting clamp or do i have to buy it separately
@@SimRacingCorneri might be getting a bit annoying with the questions but the clamp isnt an option in the aliexpress link in the description do i have to find it separately?
@@tonixgamer3226 Hmmm. You may have hunt around AE, for another version of the shifter (there's lots of them, and basically using the same internal design), where the seller is selling the table clamp.
Thanks Paul. I haven't tried the Clixbeetle mod, but looking the the SRG review, my shifter looks to me to have a lot more resistance than that modded TH8A. It's 2.2kg of tension, so it's a measurement you could test against your shifter.
@@SimRacingCorner cheers - I’ll do that - great channel and excellent content - keep it coming 👍🏼🎯 great quality good value sim kit is gold - I got the usb handbrake for $75 aud on your recommendation and it’s great value 👍🏼
Both these shifters, internally, use the same format of tactile mechanism, so you're kind of getting the same thing. The only thing to be aware of is switch type used. Magnetic or micro switches. The microswitch ones are cheaper.
Awesome review! I wonder if this is very similar to a shifter being sold on Amazon by a vendor named aikeec. Reviews on that one say it's really loud as well, but I bet one could make a boot for it pretty easily that would dampen the sound a bit. Thanks again for the review.
@@SimRacingCorner Thats fine. I think you have experience with sim racing equipment, so are you able to tell if this product feels or looks like it would last for a long time? The stable, clunky metal build suggests it should last for years, but it's made in China so you never know if it really is made to last or not
May grab this for g920 shifter looking for more of a true shift feel but seems this has a little more requested force like your trying to clutchless shift improper lol may try it
I am planning on ordering one and I would like to know if it includes any type of mounting to clamp on a desk or do I have to order one along with the shifter. Cheers 👍
I am thinking about getting one of these, just because modding the g27 shifter kit cost as much as $40 and I don't want to spend it on the logitech because it's still lacking after the mod.
I know it will work with all the sim driving games, and codemasters titles. It's a generic button controller making it universal. I don't know about Forza, I don't have that. But effectively this shifter has the same compatibility as any competing USB plug-and-play h pattern shifter.
I've just got one of these shifters, it feels really good, but I'm new to sim racing and never used a shifter before. I was wondering what the white plastic guide is for?
That's a sequential shifter conversion mod. You pop it on the stick and push it down, and restricts the movement of the shifter to just up and down shifts.
One question, does it work on Xbox (Series X)? Titles I would use it with would be AC, Dirt Rally 2.0, Forza(Horizon 5/Motorsport 7) and maybe also Car X. The wheel I would plug it in with is the G920
anyone know of a way to clamp this to a desk without bolting it on or if i have to bolt it on is there a way where taking it off and on wouldn’t be too hard
Thanks for the review, order mine and cannot wait to arrive. There's another one in the same website as well it's four times the price, wonder how's that go. Great review nevertheless
Yeah, the price of this shifter is all over the place as it's sold by different vendors on AliExpress so you do need to shop around to find the lowest list price.
@@SimRacingCorner I've order in Australia than other countries or else end up paying extra with the delivery fees. Hopefully goes for a while. Also that I couldn't order on the computer or internet, had to install the app to buy it which never had to before which was odd.
i have this but i want to get a different knob, do you know the size of the thread i need? i heard M10 x 1.25 or M10x 1.5 i dont know which one please help
Two options: 1) 2 pieces (10cm) of profile and 2 angle brackets, to hang off your shifter mount arm. That will make the platform to bolt the shifter too. 2) 4 Angle brackets, mounted on either side of the shifter arm. Then bolt through the shifter mounting hole slots.
1.Should I get the 6r or 7r 2.It is out of stock at the moment for anywhere that ships to the Uk but there is a link in the description which has it in stock is it safe to buy from there(it only has 3 orders)
I bought a shifter, but what happens is that my 7th and Reverse gears are being read as an axis, which means i can't bind them in Assetto Corsa. Is there any fix for this other than using AutoHotKey to rebind the axis to a button?
I just got the shifter and a day later it stopped working on my computer like it says it’s recognizing the driver but it’s not working on any of my racing games :(
why does mine not work with my g920 (assetto corsa). Once i plug the shifter in the usb slot, the wheel dont work. is there files that needs to be extracted?
I gave it a try but had to send back. Th gear pattern registered as 1, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5 and R was reverse in full throttle only. Reached out to seller and they said not compatible with Windows 11. FWIW
I’ve had it for a year now banging gears left and right, the main shaft eventually can loose from the cheap mechanism, anyways quick fix just screw it back in with some lock tight. I mean it’s what you expect from a cheap Chinese shifter
Hey great review but I just got this and it is amazing like you said the only thing is that it won’t work in assetto corsa (it works in the menu for it but not in the actual game) I’ve also used it on other games and works amazing
Well done, looks like an incredible piece and considering the price, it's a no brainer! I don't really need an H pattern but might get this one just for those days. Any word on that alloy QR1 knockoff by chance?
I do have the Chinese QR1. I haven't installed it yet, so not tested yet. It's not compatible with the original Q1R, the size is slightly different. It is very well made and the two pieces join together perfectly. So I'll need to get it mounted with a wheel, to see if it's as good as it appears, which I do think it will be.
@@SimRacingCorner Can you check if it will work on xbox with a collective minds drive hub pls I just got one but it will not work on xbox so I want you to see if it will with a drive hub pls so I will not waste any money. pls and thankyou
what do you think now? it´ a good produt? i´m thinking buy, see confortable and a good price. I have a pxn wheel with automatic pedals service play. My doubt is the compatibility, cause the wheel have behind a input usb, but honesty I don't know his fuction.
The sequential feature is a 3D printed piece that you push onto the gear stick when you want to use it. You can see it in the picture. It basically restricts movement of the stick and enables it to whack the 3/4 gears without going all the way.
@@mikeclegg9252 Don't worry, there are no customs as it's under £135. In fact, I notice Chinese sellers usually mark a lower value on the customs forms.
It's a shame about the lack of console compatability, I'm a ps5 player and currently looking for a shifter to go with my g29. Will probably have to settle for the Logitech shifter
I got one of these shifters it worked great no problem for about 5 monthes and then it just stopped working entirely it doesn’t even get detected for no reason what so ever I was using it and then it just stopped nothing is broken and everything is plugging in I took it apart and there’s nothing wrong and my computer is entirely fine it’s this device but there’s nothing visually work I’m confused and about to throw it away
Could somebody please explain to me what the difference between the shifters "with sequence" and the ones without is? I'm not a native English speaker and I'm not really sure which one I should buy.
@Sim Racing Corner Can you check if it will work on xbox with a collective minds drive hub pls I just got one but it will not work on xbox so I want you to see if it will with a drive hub pls so I will not waste any money. pls and thankyou
Is yours still working? I’m skeptical about buying it as it is a Chinese shifter and could just break after a week. If I don’t get this I was looking at the shh newt, which one should I get?

@@Daniel-gq6pe I haven't, but I'm certain it won't.
anyone know of a way to clamp this to a desk without bolting it on or if i have to bolt it on is there a way where taking it off and on wouldn’t be too hard
a g clamp and an f clamp, lol. i have had this for about a month and still have not gotten around to a proper mounting solution.
@@socks2441 I think you could probably get away with 3d printing a mount if you have a printer/makerspace nearby
can you mount it to rubber bushings instead of directly to the rig? so that it simulates that slight give in a real car.
Thanks for the review, order mine and cannot wait to arrive. There's another one in the same website as well it's four times the price, wonder how's that go. Great review nevertheless
Yeah, the price of this shifter is all over the place as it's sold by different vendors on AliExpress so you do need to shop around to find the lowest list price.
@@SimRacingCorner I've order in Australia than other countries or else end up paying extra with the delivery fees. Hopefully goes for a while. Also that I couldn't order on the computer or internet, had to install the app to buy it which never had to before which was odd.
so how is it for now? still great?
@@hellcatxcv1375 Haven't use it much but it's pretty good for what you pay for
looks a lot nicer than my thrustmaster that broke after 3 weeks. that stupid cable failed on mine
FYI, this shifter failed after 1 week. At least for me it did. Circuit board failed. Maybe I got a bad unit.
what are the resistance gates called? 2:18
Brilliant. My next purchase....
i have to get one of theese to compliment the T500RS i'm getting to replace my now dead G25
hello, iknow u cant compare it, but would u still prefer a moza shifter? just the price to performance
What about mounting choices though? Is there a way to mount this on a desk?
There is an optional table clamp you can buy separately.
i have this but i want to get a different knob, do you know the size of the thread i need? i heard M10 x 1.25 or M10x 1.5 i dont know which one please help
How easy did you find it to find a way to mount the shifter. Any idea if it would fit on the new sim lab shifter mount?
Two options:
1) 2 pieces (10cm) of profile and 2 angle brackets, to hang off your shifter mount arm. That will make the platform to bolt the shifter too.
2) 4 Angle brackets, mounted on either side of the shifter arm. Then bolt through the shifter mounting hole slots.
How can I mount this on a wheelstand pro thats made for a logitech shifter?
with m8 thread?
The beautiful aftermarket
1.Should I get the 6r or 7r
2.It is out of stock at the moment for anywhere that ships to the Uk but there is a link in the description which has it in stock is it safe to buy from there(it only has 3 orders)
You can buy a shifter extender online for 10-15 bucks and make it 100x better
This shifter is 70 USD in my country. Really tempting but wonder if it is a good investment for long term. How does it fare compare to TH8A?
I bought a shifter, but what happens is that my 7th and Reverse gears are being read as an axis, which means i can't bind them in Assetto Corsa. Is there any fix for this other than using AutoHotKey to rebind the axis to a button?
would one of the USB SKRS knobs work with this? They always just say for Thrustmaster and Logitech
Yes, it would work too.
Can i use this with the HORI Racing Wheel Apex
Can someone help I’m trying to set it up but i don’t know what software to install to use it
I just got the shifter and a day later it stopped working on my computer like it says it’s recognizing the driver but it’s not working on any of my racing games :(
why does mine not work with my g920 (assetto corsa). Once i plug the shifter in the usb slot, the wheel dont work. is there files that needs to be extracted?
I gave it a try but had to send back. Th gear pattern registered as 1, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5 and R was reverse in full throttle only. Reached out to seller and they said not compatible with Windows 11. FWIW
Not compatible with Windows 11??? That is so stupid
has the springs gotten less force overtime? does anyone know?
I’ve had it for a year now banging gears left and right, the main shaft eventually can loose from the cheap mechanism, anyways quick fix just screw it back in with some lock tight. I mean it’s what you expect from a cheap Chinese shifter
Hey great review but I just got this and it is amazing like you said the only thing is that it won’t work in assetto corsa (it works in the menu for it but not in the actual game) I’ve also used it on other games and works amazing
Make sure the car is a manual shifter, as Assetto Corsa restricts the inputs for authenticity. Also, try launching the game through Content Manager.
@@SimRacingCorner thank you so much! I don’t know why it didn’t work in normal assetto, but thanks!
Well done, looks like an incredible piece and considering the price, it's a no brainer! I don't really need an H pattern but might get this one just for those days. Any word on that alloy QR1 knockoff by chance?
I do have the Chinese QR1. I haven't installed it yet, so not tested yet. It's not compatible with the original Q1R, the size is slightly different. It is very well made and the two pieces join together perfectly. So I'll need to get it mounted with a wheel, to see if it's as good as it appears, which I do think it will be.
@@SimRacingCorner Seems like a good excuse for a new wheel! Not that we ever need one 🤣
@@elcid4130 Haha, that's something I'm not short of. I'll pop this QR on one of those when I get around to testing it.
Hi,do you have a link for the chinese QR1??thank you.
@@SimRacingCorner Can you check if it will work on xbox with a collective minds drive hub pls I just got one but it will not work on xbox so I want you to see if it will with a drive hub pls so I will not waste any money. pls and thankyou
what do you think now? it´ a good produt? i´m thinking buy, see confortable and a good price. I have a pxn wheel with automatic pedals service play. My doubt is the compatibility, cause the wheel have behind a input usb, but honesty I don't know his fuction.
It's good. On PC you can use it with any wheel.
I want this but its aliexpress, I'm a bit worried
I buy from AliExpress frequently with no issues.
@simracingcorner I'm going to order one but I want the 6r in black but do I get the one with sequence or without I don't understand the difference 🤔
The sequential feature is a 3D printed piece that you push onto the gear stick when you want to use it. You can see it in the picture. It basically restricts movement of the stick and enables it to whack the 3/4 gears without going all the way.
@@SimRacingCorner cheers dude so they've spelt it as sequence aha I get you cheers dude
@@mikeclegg9252 No worries, yeah, you do need to look past some of the ropey English with these listings.
@@SimRacingCorner just ordered mine with the 6r sequential £58 shipped to UK hopefully no taxes hahah
@@mikeclegg9252 Don't worry, there are no customs as it's under £135. In fact, I notice Chinese sellers usually mark a lower value on the customs forms.
Is there any shifter that can go with thrust master 458 Ferrari
It's a shame about the lack of console compatability, I'm a ps5 player and currently looking for a shifter to go with my g29. Will probably have to settle for the Logitech shifter
I thought if you're using a g29 on console you had to use their shifter
Seems amazing! I got one question though: Does it work with Forza Horizon 5?
how would i mount this to a table? that is my only problem otherwise i would buy one right now
There's is an optional table clamp for this
@@SimRacingCorner brilliant thanks
I got one of these shifters it worked great no problem for about 5 monthes and then it just stopped working entirely it doesn’t even get detected for no reason what so ever I was using it and then it just stopped nothing is broken and everything is plugging in I took it apart and there’s nothing wrong and my computer is entirely fine it’s this device but there’s nothing visually work I’m confused and about to throw it away
Well done buddy! And 8000 subscribers!👀😺🎉😃✌🍻🎊
Thank you so much! 😺👍 Things are are going quite well.
@@SimRacingCorner 💪😎
Do you get a mount in the box ?
i got the 7+r and it also came with sequential clip but it doesn't work
Where can you buy good feeling/looking aftermarket knobs for this shifter?
Hunt around eBay or AliExpress
Someone who owns one, could you measure the mounting plate dimensions? Would like to make a mount before it's delivered :)
on the aliexpress page it tells u its dimensions
@@MedienGulli I did not at the time of ordering, made a mount already though
Could somebody please explain to me what the difference between the shifters "with sequence" and the ones without is? I'm not a native English speaker and I'm not really sure which one I should buy.
Sequential, a sequential shifter only moves forward and back, to downshift from 5th to 3rd, you would press the shifter forward twice.
@Sim Racing Corner Can you check if it will work on xbox with a collective minds drive hub pls I just got one but it will not work on xbox so I want you to see if it will with a drive hub pls so I will not waste any money. pls and thankyou
Hey mate question tried this shifter with my moza r5 bundle but cant get it connected and when plugged in my moza r5 shakes any recommendations?
You shouldn't plug it into the wheelbase, it's not going to work. The shifter should be plugged into your PC only.
Is yours still working? I’m skeptical about buying it as it is a Chinese shifter and could just break after a week. If I don’t get this I was looking at the shh newt, which one should I get?
Yes still working. I haven't tried the SHH so can't comment.
@@SimRacingCorner there is a two month wait on the shh, would you still recommend the aliexpress shifter?
@@memistic2536 Yeah, it's working great.
Hey, is it compatible with my Fanatec CSL Elite wheelbase?
On PC, yes.
@@SimRacingCorner nice, i will buy it with your link mate
Except for the slightly better price, is there a reason why I should go for this shifter instead of the SHH one?
I haven't used the SHH so I don't feel I can offer an opinion here. Though I'm pretty sure one day I'll pick one up to review in the future.
What about neutral gear, does it even detect it? Or when putting the shifter on neutral, will it stay on the last selected gear instead?
As soon as a gear (micro switch) is no longer being pressed (detected) it's in neutral. Every shifter works the same in this respect.
@@SimRacingCorner Thanks for explanation!
