Nice work Laurence. I think maybe the reason there isn't a longer shifter handle is that the mechanical action would be too easily overcome by leverage, and would ruin the feel it has. And to engineer an adjustable mechanism would add too much cost and complexity to it. I'm thinking about getting one, so thanks for your insight.
Pretty much a heusinkveld's argument against "bigger is better". It's so tiny it's amusing, and yet it does the job just right from the looks of it. Very minimalistic design and the see through plate is something I like a lot. It would probably fit well to have next to an H shifter to just have ready without the need to swap plates, modes and switch binds in the game or even just as an handbrake. The price is a hard pill to swallow though.
Yeah you’re right. I think the price is justifiable though for the market they target. However, my experience with dedicated sequentials is limited so I don’t know. I do love the design too. It’s not cheap but it’s worth the money. Hope that makes sense :)
I’d like to try one of these. I love my AioLogs though. Don’t think I’d ever replace it. It’s really a shame they canceled the H pattern. Maybe if they weren’t designing it to be an H/Sq combo the could really bring something special to market. I think having a combo shifter creates too much of a compromise either direction.
Laurence Dusoswa This is high end pC only sim hardware which calls for an aluminum profile chassis with almost unlimited mounting options. As you show in the video they already make a great stand alone sequential shifter. Why compete with yourself? I honestly don’t think for any reasonable amount of money you can make a great H/SQ combo. Not something that feels any better then the Fanatec option. If you already have a small compact damn near zero foot print sq shifter, why not do the same for an H Pattern? Focus on that, focus on making the best H pattern you can for the price point. The advantage the Fanatec has is you can mirror the SQ feature to the paddles on your Fanatec wheel. Thus not having to re map buttons in games when switching between the two . Games that don’t have multiple hardware config profiles that is. That’s a good enough reason to have a combo right there. You won’t get a feature like that with anything HE makes. At least not without some kind of trick software.
Dam I just dropped $6 grand on sim gear about to buy custom 80/20 rig I been designing away and stuck between jinx shifter or fanatec shifter as the fanatec one has both. What to do then I look n like the one in this review
Haha! The fanatec h shifter is good and a great all rounder. If you have the fanatec you won’t need this unless you’re serious about sequential. I’d appreciate if you use my fanatec affiliate link if you buy ;) fanatec.com/?FAP+Banner&General+Links&a_aid=5ecd40d820ab1
Hi mate, I think your videos are very well done. But please consider getting a pop filter of sorts. I believe it'd increase the quality of the overall video a bunch
You're almost there. Just need a '0:00 Start' to enjoy this feature. *Add chapters to a progress bar.* For each of your uploaded videos, you can add video chapters. To opt into video chapters, make sure that the first timestamp you list starts with 00:00. Your video should have at least three timestamps listed in ascending order. The minimum length for video chapters is 10 seconds. support.google.com/youtube/answer/9884579?hl=en
Old review I know, but this thing is the spawn of Satan himself - There was no way this thing was going to mount to my rig in any reasonable form. In the end i did a hardware rage quit and bought a rather disappointing Thrustmaster sequential - it's shite, but it mounts.

Great video... well produced, balanced audio, 4K!
Thanks. I’m far from a pro. I see lots of room for improvement but the time commitment would be massive :) thanks for the feedback

It’s nice as a consumer to not have to install parts on your rig when you switch to a sequential car
But you’re right I think. I need to buy an aiologs too

I have busted my Thrustmaster. I can mount it high up so I think you have convinced me to part with my pension.
its on the wishlist..

I got one since :) thanks ❤️
@@LaurenceDusoswa Love to see it!
for that price, I would choose the Aiologs one..
I need to buy one. The wait times have always put me off to date

Doesn’t it work without the 0:00 time stamp?
@@LaurenceDusoswa Apparently so!
Thanks for the help!
I love how you have this stupid music playing the whole time so we can't hear how the shifter sounds
Aiologs looks better. But I think heusinkveld is the better product
I haven’t used the aiologs yet but when I do, I’ll definitely do a review.
Old review I know, but this thing is the spawn of Satan himself - There was no way this thing was going to mount to my rig in any reasonable form. In the end i did a hardware rage quit and bought a rather disappointing Thrustmaster sequential - it's shite, but it mounts.
Yeah mounting it was very difficult on a non profile rig
Outdated..... SH shifter and simagic are better. :)
It’s an old review for sure
Is the sh shifter really a better option?
I love how you have this stupid music playing the whole time so we can't hear how the shifter sounds
I’m trying my best :)
