Really nice shifter very good quality
The media could not be loaded. I really like this shifter it's very good quality and feels very nice to use the gears have a nice clunk when going into gear you also have the option to change the stiffness going into gears but for me I find max stiffness is not stiff enough however I honestly think it's fine at max stiffness I have no problems with it it still has a nice clunk to it but would be nice if it had a bit more resistance it's also nice to have to option to switch to sequential mode for games like dirt rally it works alot better than paddle shift and adds to the emersion it comes with all the tools you need including spare screws and a Alan key it even comes with a very strong table clamp which clamps very well but in my case I decided to hard mount it to my frame with bolts as I have the option overall I'm very happy with this shifter and it's been slot of fun to use I'd 100% recommend this shifter

Amazing quality tactile shifter, worth the price.
This is an amazing quality gear shifter and it is easy to use, it is compatible with many systems due to its USB-A Plug-and-play capabilities. I use it daily along with my steering wheel from another company. It is expensive, but was definitely worth my money, it is not too loud and it is fun and enjoyable to use it in driving simulators such as BeamNG.Drive. It has shown little signs of wear over my last year of usage, presenting its good durability.

Good quality shifter
It's a nice shifter and the included mount is study enough for its purpose.It's mostly plastic aside from some metal internals, the knob can also be changed out.The 7 gears + reverse is handy and you can even turn the shifter into an x-axis (possible handbrake solution).It did develop a squeak on that very same x-axis (moving the knob to the right from the center point) but some PTFE WD40 fixed that easily.The gears are short and enter the 'gates' easily and gives good solid feedback so you know your in gear.However I wish the resistance was a little higher, it feels a bit too easy to put into gear, but that's a more immersion complaint as it probably helps during races.Overall great piece of kit for the price and does the job well for a casual sim race.

Good purchase, adds to the feeling of driving a real car
I love the quietness of the shifter, but I went astep further and placed some neoprene foam rubber material in between the H-gates which made it near silent. In comparison to the Fanatec Clubsport shifter which clicks upon each gear change and has less of a feeling of an H-pattern because of it's smaller range of movement between gears, I was satisfied with my choice of purchase.The quality is great with the 90% metal contruction and the adjustable tension is more than adequate of this type of device and this price range.Changing from H-pattern to sequential mode can take one minute or more which is the only real hindrance to the overall ease of use, as it cannot be changed "on-the-fly".The clamp is strong, the gears are 360 degrees rotatable making it robust and ergonomic.Overall, it is a great experience and adds to the keyword 'immersion' many people look for in an addition such as this, particularly if you are using a clutch in tandem with the gear shifter. Occasionally, Amazon lowers the price of this shifter and it is then when I would recommend making a purchase of this item. If you cannot wait, and Amazon is not doing any price offers, but it is still selling at a good price, I would still recommended making the purchase as it improves the complete package feeling of driving a simulator.

Improves SIM racing experience
I like how comfortable it was to hold when shifting gears, and how easy it was to mount and also change gears, as it wasn't stiff. Also the amount of gears was nice, as it had seven gears and a reverse gear. Furthermore, it looked cool and amazing with the black and red colours on it, matching my SIM racing setup. The only problem was that it wasn't compatible with my steering wheel, but that is my fault for having a bad wheel. Would recommend

Excellent feel and build quality.
Very sturdy, comfortable and well constructed. Detected as soon as I connected it to my PC via the USB. I didn't use the Thrustmaster connection cable as I don't have a TM wheel.I was initially tempted by the Logitech shifter, but reviews mentioned the build quality being low, and the TM shifter being significantly better, and it also happens to be one of the only other options available for a reasonable price.Being able to loosen off the shifter gate and rotate it 360 degrees increases the convenience, and the number of different mounting possibilities.The only game I've not been able to use it with so far is Need for Speed 2015, because that game thinks the shifter is the main controller and it makes the menus impossible to navigate, but that's not the fault of the shifter by any means.The only slight negative is that you have to swap out the shifter gates if you want to switch between this being an H shifter, or sequential, and if you do switch to sequential the movement is kinda loose.You can really use this shifter with confidence, the construction means it withstands aggressive shifting without worrying something is going to snap or wear out, and the movement of the main shaft is spot-on. There are no rough zones and every gear position is easy to shift into.
