May not be the best quality, but for a beginner who just wants to slam through gears in dirt rally 2 for an affordable price its perfect
I agree
@@OCRacing Was wondering if you have tried out the PXN A7 H-pattern shifter..? Specifically how it compares to the new’ish Thrustmaster TH8S. It seems like the PXN FFB Wheels are generally sub-par (at best), but the A7 shifter looks potentially promising with PC and Thrustmaster compatibility, etc. while, IMHO, looking Much better than the the plastic TH8S and being about $10 bucks cheaper too. I think it might make a nice addition to my “budget friendly” setup, Lol (T150 w/T-LCM load cell pedals).
THANKS! And I Very much appreciate any thoughts/info you may have to share about the product. - Have a Great One 👊!!
You just described me to a T!
since I got it in 2019, its done what I've needed it to do. Even with a quick Ebay mod kit to get it working as a sequential shifter! I as a casual off n on player on racing games cannot justify anything more than this Logitech wheel, pedals and shifter package. Perfect for my needs
TH8S is a much better alternative, and it's cheaper.
@@tmthylthm i went with the TH8S for my g923 as i plan on upgrading gradually, glad i did as it feels great for me
Honestly, I prefer the shifter modified by custom sim shop. For example they have an H pattern improvement, spring mod and a sequential kit version 2. This makes the shifter so much better and a lot closer to realistic feeling, for example a Honda shifter
It makes it way better indeed, but wouldn't call it high end. Still better than a stock TH8A though.
Used this shifter in BeamNG and in AC. It lost calibration after 4 months of use so I bought a Moza...then that stopped working with Beam. Now rocking a Simmagic shifter running good after 3 months.
that's some really bad luck right there
Way it goes for me.
Since I got my G29 wheel, pedals and shifter package back in 2019 - sweet black Friday sale 😁- its done what I've needed it to do. Plus with an Ebay mod kit purchase to get it working as a sequential shifter! I as a casual off and on player on racing games could not justify purchasing anything more than this Logitech wheel+pedals and shifter package. Perfect package and price point for my needs. That's all I have to say about that
Glad to hear!
I liked the one that came with the G25 that could switch between H and sequential. I'm on a DD wheel now and use the paddle shifters apart from when I play spin tyres or European Truck Simulator, I have the TH8S now which is cheap and nasty, lol
I have this shifter and enjoy it. I would enjoy a sequential shift sure, but for now this shifter does the job very well.
My one and only complaint would be that I wish it had a usb connection. Mine connects via vga style connector that plugs in to the g923 wheel base.
I did the spring preload mod, but the ball bearing was buckling and shifting rough, i printed a brace for to frame on the inside of the shifter the holds it closer together in order to enable the higher levels of preload, it was pushing itself apart just had to barely shave the interior housing ill be uploading on thingiverse soon. Also made a top for the shifter with magnets but no gates the gates always fit funny and ultimately broke off for me the extra stiffness from the spring mod and the magnets gives me all the reassurance i need so I've been using the magnetic gateless top for a while now and its pretty legit
There is also a big plastic worm screw (missing in your one for some reason) that goes upwards through that hole in the clamp part so it is held at three points and needed for for full left/right back/forth stability.
How would you OC rate the stiffness compared to the th8s shifter?
Sheesh man the edits at the start, whoooh man! 👌
Glad you liked it :)

for my first force feedback sim setup i got a g29 with a shifter and pedals used but pretty much brand new just couple months old for £160 i just recently orderd a aikeec handbrake so far im enjoying the g29 and shifter so about £200 i got a wheel pedals shifter and handbrake
I'd buy my TH8A twice over before I went back to the Logitech. I tried the Chinese/amazon shifter but that thing was way too loud and stiff. I didnt have the patience to wait for an SHH and i dont like the push down for reverse and 7th on the MOZA shifter. So TH8A it was on Amazon for next day delivery.
Thanks for the insight 👍
That's what I'd expect for a shifter that costs 3 times what the logitech costs
I had one years ago, modded a bit, but still too toy-like in the end. Unless you are on console, I would go with an aliexpress/ebay USB shifter for that kind of money (one with hall sensors instead of switches if you can find one). Was miles better than anything I'd used by that point, including TH8 shifters. Still going strong today
Im looking to upgrade from thrustmaster t80, i play on a desk and my budget is $250~
Have only used the g29 and shifter since 2017 i have 0 complains about it, however rn its having problems where shifting into 3rd you have to slam it in or it would jump out of gear
you own me, already subscribed.
Just bought one over Christmas and was disappointed to find out that it only connected to the G wheels and there was no USB. After researching all the forums and Reddit posts, found that the Leo Bodnar USB Adapter is the best for PC users. It comes with software that allows you to tune the shift gates so if you keep misshifting and know you are in the right gate, you can adjust how it's registering on the PC. Apparently, since it's cheap, it does tend to change over time. Overall I'm happy with it considering the price and it makes drifting and training for my real manual car a heck of a lot easier compared to looking for the paddles.
anyone know where i can get that 3d printed gated manual mod he had in the video for a second or two?
for the durability, i don't know if it count but i nearly destroy one and my wrist while hard shifting in 3rd gear
Currently going to buy this in a few days with the g920, £200 all in, I'll build my own rig tho 🙃
It just works.
With Logitec wheel base.
After two years I have nothing else to say about it.
Greeting from Taiwan, your review is really on point👏 keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot!
I don't know if i've just encountered bad ones, but none of the logitech shifters i've tried have worked properly. Mostly the reverse gear never engages without slamming it in with force a few times, and sometimes other gears can also fail to register
When you said 10 years I was like DAM lol like Kevin hart in that clip
the people who have a console and has an logitech wheel its the only option (without changing the wheel base)
Logitech should be making a Pro shifter to match the Pro wheel.... 🤯 One that has it all, like shifting gears but also function as a pull push system.
The one bad thing about Logitech RN is they don't have a mid or high range shifter at the moment, making it difficult to upgrade your shifter without having to buy a whole new sim wheel. Though, is their a way to make a thrustmaster, fanatec, or any other shifter work with a Logitech wheel base?
Is the sim tour project still going? I hope I can see my submission and others soon!
yup
early (literally its like 7:45 am here in alaska) also WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE THE BLOODY PRO ACCESSORIES
I have a viewer in Alaska?! 😳
@@OCRacing heck yeah
This is what I'm waiting for the most. I own both complete set of Fanatec GT DD PRO and the Logitech G PRO racing wheel. I want to get rid of the Fanatec but I love their shifter and just hope Logitech release a good one this year. Only a PC built for sim racing would make me keep the Fanatec shifter to use with the Logitech G PRO racing wheel.
which stering wheel is for you better the pxn V10 or the logitech g 923?
G923
@@OCRacing ok thanks for answering so fast👍
I bought this to try and improve some shift speeds, but i just found it to be slower than the paddles and it just got in the way of racing....
so its back in the box and packed away...
Oh 100% it won’t be faster than paddles, this is more for just the fun of shifting gears, not to increase performance at all
@@OCRacingI had heard that they can be used to do some "instant gear changes" for license time trials by doing some trick with starting it in the gear you wanted or something... but didn't really work out for me.
Can i Connect it Even if i have a thrustmaster wheel?
no
Thanks Oscar another professional review, still in the hospital waiting for surgery. Thanks for caring. I'll be fine I'm hard to kill.🤕🙋👍
You’re very welcome, hope you get out of there asap 🫡
The pace of constant quality and intriguing content coming from this channel impresses me every time
I’m literally in my room all day editing and filming nowadays
you can use the racing adapter
So your saying if I have the adapter and connect it to a thrustmaster th8s I can use it with the g29?
@@powrvr uhh no, it’s for logitech shifters and nothing else but you can use it externally with the racing adapter.
Example:
Fanatec csldd base
Fanatec pedals
Logitech shifter + racing adapter
Honestly, i think that it's time to Logitech to step up their game. Belt-driven wheels are (for the most part) better, and their shifter could be bigger, more tactile (pause) and maybe gated. Also, some buttons on the shifter could be good too.
What car were you driving in the demo?
The Lotus 79 on iRacing!
It’s cheap witch is nice but if you have a rather rougher racing style be careful because the clamps aren’t very good
I could imagine them wearing out after time.. brand new they seemed to do a good job from my experience
@@OCRacingIt’s worth the money but I would recommend hard mounting them
YEEEAAHHH, NEW VIDEO HERE🔥🔥🔥
I’m on the GRINDDD 🫡
Oc racing, are you from Canada?
Do you think i'm from Canada?
@@OCRacing well I tried America and you said no so my next best guess is Canada or English
@@OCRacing are you? You aren’t answering my question
compared to the th8s, which one do you prefer more?
Not even close, the th8a is full metal and had actual springiness/resistance that pulls to the middle
The Logitech is all plastic and feels completely loose, zero resistance
@@MrTARIQSs i think you read my comment wrong 😅I was talking about thrustmaster's cheaper shifter (th8S) that they released recently but yes I agree that the th8A's build is far better than logitech
@@chokinghzard ohhh yeah sorry was never aware that the names were this close lmao
Sorry for not reading it well enough initially
TH8S, it's a solid shifter for the price. It's not a T8HA but it's better built than the Logitech and just feels better in my hand. I'm probably going to hang on to it for awhile, =)
What about a used Th8a for around $100?
Good deal depending on its condition
100% buy that. I got mine new for $180 and zero regrets. I ordered a Clix Beetle GT V2 Mod for it to give it some more tactile feel.
Note: This shifter has a very common defect where the gears start to skip after 2-3 years of use, if you don't know how to repair this bug then you will end up having to just buy another shifter.
This happened to me after 20 hours of use in Dirt Rally 2.0. The shifter wouldn't register second gear.
@@peepopoo4387 happened to me aswell after like 4 days so I bought the TH8S getting it tomorrow
Well it’s cheap so I’ll say it’s fine. Good vid oc!
Made it just for you 🤣
So, i bought the Thrustmaster TH8RS for $200 and it broke so much faster than my logitech shifter
Mine died after 3 months of drivinn😢😢😢
I had this thing and even tried to increase the feel by modding it which only added a minor click to it. To me this shifter is trash and leaves much to be desired. It’s so vague it sux
I bought it brand new and it was already failing, i had to open it to make it work
I hate that shifter with a passion. I have it and I hate it
I swear every sim racer will always find a way to make a normal equipment that shouldn't work to be usable in the jankiest way possible.
Also never say 2015 was almost 10 years ago ever again 😭.... 👴👴
yeah sorry about that 😭
Its a waste of money in my humble opinion. If on PC, buy that one 3d printed shifter or that 70€ metal usb one (both reviewed by OC Racing btw)
Thanks for the comment, I’ve linked both of those in the written version of this review on my website 👍
Still waiting for a pro shifter from Logitech
100%
bro got the G29 on the floor
lmaooo
Ima use it on beamng drive Lol
The pinkie shifter
🤣
No, and it wasn't worth it in 2023 or 2022 and so on ... Com'on folks just buy a decend shifter!
W video
W comment
Still? It was never worth it. Dwl
My first shifter and it was a piece of junk. I guess that's what you get for $50
don't buy ANYTHING by logitech!!
every item I bought from them, ever, was flawed.
just buy something else. there is a reason why other manufacturers have higher prices.

im so early wth
proud of you
I got it for 11 dollars brand new 😅
Absolutely not worth it, i haven't even watched the first 5 seconds.
Nice
Fanatec, worst company in sim racing. Feel obligated to post this on every video.
No, not at all. MOZA and Thrustmaster have superior shifters.
anddddd the thrustmaster is a 200 dollar shifter so whats your point..
