What do you think?
I've owned mine for sometime. Had zero issues, it looks and feels every bit as good as it did on day one. It's the best H pattern shifter there is. Simple.
The guys at BDH are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and funny 😁. Customer service is as good as the product, I wish them every success, they deserve it. 👏
I think this review is very good. I'm sure the BDH family will be very happy with your representation of them and the shifter Lawrence.
It would be nice if you could get your hand on the SRT9.1 Gearbox by LeboisRacing to compare, it's a DIY gearbox mostly 3D printed, cost around 200euros (and a good day to build ). it's a 6 gear + sequential. I have it and it just feel like a real shifter.
i think u smoking crack
I own it and it is awesome. The costumer service is amazing and not just for CZcamsrs
That’s what I have been told too
I just ordered the new h1sq … bdh h pattern and sequential. Just going around now watching more reviews of bdh stuff getting excited
NICE! I can't wait to try the H1SQ!
Just preordered the h1sq, BDH have addressed all the “issues” people have with the bazooka and kept the price the same. I know it’s expensive but after having 3 shifters basically fall apart on me with questionable customer support I feel like my moneys going to the right place
Yeah there’s a lot of stuff you get with BDH that are hard to put a price on
High end sim equipment is pricey but man is it worth it. I have the Pro sim H pattern and 3 years later it’s still perfect in every way.
NICE
The new H1SQ might be the best all-around shifter on the market.
If I had the money that is what I would buy. Solid H-pattern and sequential in the same package.
Good review. I’ve had mine for about 4 months now. While I feel like a bit of a knob for paying that much for it, it’s so worth it. Banging through the gears on a dog-leg gearbox is incredibly satisfying. The only negative for me is the size. I do about 50/50 H pattern and sequential and there’s no good way to keep both mounted up to the rig. I have to remove the BDH lever and then mount up the sequential shifter every time I want to use it. It’s not terrible but not ideal either.
Since you had enough for this shifter I'd suggest buying a bigger metal plate to mount it or cut a metal plate and drill into your rig, also don't feel like a knob it is your money lol go ahead and buy what you want.
When Sim racing goes mechanical just like in the real world, no wonder it feels like the real thing. Top job BDH- keep it real ✌️❤
Yeah they’re a brand to watch for sure
You sound like someone who has good knowledge of real world racing 👍🏻
Best H pattern shifter out there! I own one!!
Love this review mate! Very in depth and not biased at all, exactly what the community needs!
Thanks! It can be difficult to not get lost in the magic of a product like this. All products need to carry equal value for an objective review. I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it useful ❤️
Nice bit of kit!
It’s SICK
the shifter arrive last week , it works perfect ! for this price point , i hope it was hall sensor not mirco switch
This is sick i need it !
It’s very cool
It's not a product for me, but even so I'm glad it exists.
I feel a little similar. Although it’s definitely something I love to use.
These are lovely shifters Laurence but a bit out of my affordability zone.
I use the Fanatec Clubsport SQ V1.5 so I have H pattern and Sequential.
The latest BDH shifters have updated electronics designed and built by JC_R4CER who was with us at the Expo.
You probably saw him, he was the guy with the beard and his left hand in a splint sat at the same table I was at the after party.
The Bearded, one with splint who looks like Harry Potter 😂.
Hes a good Lad is JC, valuable member of our team, does amazing things with that elastictrickery stuff.
I'm not sure his splint looks like Harry Potter but I'll take your word for it. 😉
If only he was as good with handling kitchen knives! 😂
As we are all very interested in the simiest of simming, and I'm sure I'm not alone in caring about my knob, especially in the context of the caring and sharing of it. It has served me well for many years now and I am not quite at the point where I would find it a positive action and dealing with a different shaped knob.
Put mine through the paces for a year. Still like new.
Just wanted to say race beyond matter sent me so I subbed
hahaha awesome
I'm gonna need a new rig to run this thing...🥔 Nation!
Still looking for a sequential from BDH....
Won't be long now 😊
Great vid, I have one of theses and myn sometimes misses shifts what can I do
Contact them! They’re very very nice people. There may be an issue with the shifter
Does yours have any play in each position? Mine has a little bit of movement, and not a massive deal as it’s probably realistic to real transmissions, but I’ve never seen anyone mention it.
Nope not that I have noticed anyways
@@LaurenceDusoswa hmm, thanks for the reply. I’ll send a vid to the guys at Bdh, because I’m not sure if mine is normal. It doesn’t bother me that much I just don’t want it to introduce unneeded wear on the internals.
I hope this goes on sale for black Friday, because the VAT really annoys me. It's around another 260 on top. That's like two button boxes basically. I hate the EU.
For $1100 I think I'd just work a real transmission into my sim rig. Still pretty awesome though.
best of luck plugging it in to your PC. or mounting it :p
Be sure to share your progress with it. It would be very interesting due to the high complexity!
Is it aliexpress zero delay pcb? Kinda unexpected to see it in such high-end stuff
Sim racing garage took it apart I think. He knows more about the internals than I do
I bought mine as I prefer separate controls, hated switches between H-pat and sequential on the Fanatec shifter - had to change knobs, feeling was inconsistent in both modes (when you set properly one the other becomes either too loose or to tight), placement for one of the modes at least was always a compromise. Looking in other combined products did not seem much better, this decided to get full size sequential and pair with a Bazooka. Best decision ever, now the are properly aligned, always ready to use both when needed. Especially in Dirt Rally 2 and hopefully soon in EA WRC where every car uses the corresponding shift method this is great. Have to mention I connected both shifters directly to my Fanatec wheelbase so all has native support in driver and games :D
Nice. This comment will be useful for people who have a similar outlook to you
👀
First person without early access ;)
I am manufacturer of sequential shifters an e-brakes in Georgia, i can say that motherboard what is used is rubbish, i used it 2 years ago, from 10 pc the 5 was failing in USB 3.0. so i moved to arduino and its fine since then. the gearbox itself is cool but price is -.
I believe they now make their own boards
Lost me when you showed the price. 💸
Hahaha I know! It’s not for everyone 😂😂😂
CHUNGUS
It’s a beast 😂
And not the end all! They released a new model with seq 🤣 once again years too late on this review!
This was released 5 months ago... Nobody has their sequential combo unit yet. You're late on this review, not me :p
Way to expensive and definitely not worth it for sim racing. Also way to big and bulky and ugly. So for the price it’s a definite fail.
I think it’s beautiful. And the size allows for a realistic mechanism. As for the price, many pay more for less :)
What track are you driving at with the Caterham in the how it feels section?
@@hansgrietjes7310that’s bikernieki. Great track :)
I believe there are almost 500 owners out there who may disagree.
it's quite compact though? but why do you say it is too expensive? it seems to be an incredibly reasonable price for top end simracing gear, and I'd say the new H1SQ is cheap, if anything. I'm not sure what you're comparing with to call it expensive... basically every top end simracing product has been in the €1000-2000 range; rarely above or below it.
