My full review of the £50/$66 manual shifter from AliExpress. This is a budget-priced but impressively solid piece of hardware. This is a PC-only gaming device (not PlayStation or Xbox compatible).

We cannot be grateful enough as you testing these "cheap", but usable products ! Thank you so much !
I have the updated version and it’s definitely 10/10 no complaints as my first shifter. Had since January this year
What updated version?
Was on the fence on getting it, however this is truly the best bang for buck piece of sim racing equipment I've bought feels 10 times better than my previous Logitech shifter and to be franc I don't see my self jumping to the fanatec shifter anytime soon. the only small con I can see is it being loud but the actuation on it makes it worth it.
Been waiting for this video. Looks like a cool piece of kit. Thanks.
i have one of these for 2 years now, very abused but it still is like new i love it!
Thx mate. I was struggling buying it when I saw it at Aliexpress. But now I can buy it for my diy woodrig 😊
No problem 👍
Prime Day deal today, 87 quid. Bought it before the end of your review! Already know I'll love it.
All ingenious is simple! Great stuff :)
You got that right!
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!
how has it been so far?
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
@@danielbaker1151 i didn't receive it yet but is very understandable its awesome!
Well done hitting the 8k brother
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.
failed? so you can replace the limit switches, no? Thats what i like about this design - it looks easy to work on
@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.
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.
Nice review, good speech and sound quality. Just subscribed to the channel :-)
Awesome, thank you!
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.
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.
Newer version now uses magnetic switches, no microswitches anymore.
Just ordered one on the strength of this review. Cheers.
I have a heavily modded g29 shifter always looking for more feel from it will be getting 1 of these for the rig cheers for the great review
Thanks!
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.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the review, bought one myself for $70 instead of thrustmasters $250
I bought the shifter and it should come tomorrow im so happy i found this review because now i can‘t wait to unbox it tomorr😂
Hope you enjoy it!
@@SimRacingCorner I am in shool right now and i will get home at 7pm im so excited already😅
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.
Being all metal construction with that resistance/detent system looking robust look like it potentially could make a perfect floor shifter for ets2/ats
I thought the same it could a good floor shifter with a long shaft. There is a version that comes with extra 2 buttons.
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!
Brilliant. My next purchase....
Looks good. Thanks for not showing you undoing screws. I hate that time wasting crap unless there’s a good reason for it to be there.
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.
I use it as a sequential shifter! It's great
There is actually a plastic piece you can buy (is included with newer models of this shifter) on ali express, that turns the shifter to sequential 👍
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.
@@Whats_Vong I saw the new part,it looks good! Deeper than the original so it won't slip out
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😅
Great review but one question, do you know where I can get the sequential plate?
The beautiful aftermarket
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 👍
How is it?
@@zooted5443 I have one and I love it. Much better than my TH8A, but it is very loud. Check out the video on my channel if you're interested :)
@@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?
@@elliotfaggetter762 It's 11cm from the centre of the front holes to the centre of the rear holes :)
@@OculusDrift Thanks! Don't suppose yours is mounted to a TR rig is it? I'm fighting to find out if I'll be able to mount it alongside my TSS+
thanks, subbed.
Well done buddy! And 8000 subscribers!👀😺🎉😃✌🍻🎊
Thank you so much! 😺👍 Things are are going quite well.
@@SimRacingCorner 💪😎
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.
Always good videos, thank you
Your video made me think
Project D Shifter vs SIM JACK H-Pattern Shifter
Can you recommend any of them ? Please?
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.
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
what do you mean by sanding the gates and baseplate? I have this shifter and it is squeaking in neutral, I was wondering if you had this issue aswell?
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 🤣🤣
You should make a quick video on what you did to yours
@@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
Swapping from g29 shifter. Wayyy too good the forces when shifting amaze me. Make my G29 feel like plastic toys. 😂
I have g29 wheel
How did u connect this shifter with wheel?
@@dumbdumber246 this is stand alone shifter. usb connection will do
@@dumbdumber246 it's separate
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
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.
Yesh, these are all made in the same factory, but sold by different vendors.
@@SimRacingCorner how is it still standing now? In June 2022?
@@R9naldo I've moved to another shifter to review a while back so I can't say.
@@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
It should last, it's a simple and robust design. Not much to go wrong here.
Legend!
can you make a vid on how to attach this shifter to a desk?
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?
Thank you for the review! It remains only to show a list of tested games, where it works and where it does not.
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 got one, I’m pleasantly shocked how solid it is 👍
I race on a desk what about mounting
@@Cagefighter you would have to drill holes in your desk for the bottom plate.
@@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
@@sfyner 3M double sided tape, Shifter is flat on the bottom. Not ideal but would work.
@@aaron_mclaren5453 3 metres??
Seems amazing! I got one question though: Does it work with Forza Horizon 5?
i have to get one of theese to compliment the T500RS i'm getting to replace my now dead G25
Thanks!!!
You bet!
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
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 bought this shifter, but how do you get the sequential mode to work with the switch? its just a on off switch(listed as button 10) and i cant seem to get it to work in assetto.
Great work - great review .. I have a th8 with click beetle mod - would you say this unit feels more realistic- I like a heavy throw…
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 👍🏼
@@paulclark3 Thanks Paul, appreciate it.
be good if someone had a comparison, I hate changing the modes on the thrusmaster
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.
can you mount it to rubber bushings instead of directly to the rig? so that it simulates that slight give in a real car.
I got that shifter in a bundle with a g29 and the guy said he used it on ps5 without a drivehub, i havent tried the shifter yet but i will soon
hello, iknow u cant compare it, but would u still prefer a moza shifter? just the price to performance
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 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.
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!
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?
Do you get a mount in the box ?
Nice, too bad I don't have a sim rig I just use my desk to clamp my G27.
There is now a table clamp for this, I found out later. It is something you will need to pay for as an extra.
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?
Is it better than the simjack one?
has the springs gotten less force overtime? does anyone know?
i was just wondering if it still works. Have it broken yet?
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?
You can buy a shifter extender online for 10-15 bucks and make it 100x better
where do you get the mounting plate for it?
Can i use this with the HORI Racing Wheel Apex
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.
Is there any shifter that can go with thrust master 458 Ferrari
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.
That makes perfect sense, knowing what I know (I also have the Logitech shifter), I'd do the same.
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.
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
i got the 7+r and it also came with sequential clip but it doesn't work
Does Aliexpress have any cheaper options with mounting clamps? I don't have a sim rig, just a heavy table with no holes on it =(
would one of the USB SKRS knobs work with this? They always just say for Thrustmaster and Logitech
Yes, it would work too.
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!
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 👍
You'll need to buy the table clamp as an extra, it's not included as standard. Hope that helps.
@@SimRacingCorner Yes that helped me very much, thank you!
Hi, would these work for ps5? Thank you
Does it work on console?
what are the resistance gates called? 2:18
No table clamp?
Where can you buy good feeling/looking aftermarket knobs for this shifter?
Hunt around eBay or AliExpress
good
Can it be used with a Logitech driving force gt
I need a good cheap sequential shifter , any thoughts
I'd recommend the SimJack seq shifter. ua-cam.com/video/iUa8A4BNBps/v-deo.html
Can you play with this shifter on PlayStation 4?
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.
Does it come with anything to clamp it to a rig or do you have to buy that separately?
The table clamp is an addional cost.
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.
How can I mount this on a wheelstand pro thats made for a logitech shifter?
with m8 thread?
It is USB? How to configure in Forza Horizon 5?
Do you know what the "sequnece" ting means?
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
The clamp is separate. All shifters (and this) are a simple button input device, so they work with all games.
@@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.
@@SimRacingCorner i saw those verions too but they’re more expensive and i have a really tight budget, thank you for the reply tho
Whats the best way to place this on a profile rig? whats it like in sequential mode?
The mounting slots give you plenty to work with. There are many ways you can make that work. A simple option could be using angle brackets to attach the shifter to the profile. The seq mode is basic, similar to the TH8a seq mode.
How can I use it on WRC 4?
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
No, PC only.
@@SimRacingCorner Thanks for the answer, but have you tried it on Xbox yet? Because the new Generation nearly supports everything with USB.
@@Daniel-gq6pe I haven't, but I'm certain it won't.
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?
Not easy to contact the seller haha
11cm, that's the hole spacing front to back.
the alliexpress page has the dimensions.
