Actually Fanatec does have a sequential shifter, the H pattern shifter has a switch that turns it into a sequential and comes with a long knob for easier palm throws.
Completely off topic to the video but thanks for helping me pick the moza r5 for Christmas! It’s probably the best decision ever and im enjoying it more than ever! Thanks bro your videos are top tier and got me back into sim racing/drifting and Merry Christmas!
Even as a Fanatec ecosystem user, not having a simple USB connection is a no-go for me when you look around what other, similar products you can get at this pricepoint.
Good video! I'm sorta new to simracing but your reviews have made it so even i understand the flaws and the good stuff about these products without using so much technical words. I come almost completely fresh into this hobby and so far i have literally heard nobody be completely positive about fanatec lol, keep up the good work! :D
Its good but having tons of qc issues with it so far. The screws are breaking because what happend is the screws are rayed for 11nm but I beleive they forgot that its a loadcell handbrake and when you tighten it to like 7nm and then you are pulling down hard it can exceed it and snap. Thats what has been happening. I am happy to see fanatec making improvements though! I mean there dd+ has been just outstanding lately so I hope people really realize how much they are trying now. Also I like they are trying to hit the mid to higher range people now to. Corsair already said there first big product will be for enthusiasts because they need to come out with a bang. So get ready for that. Its also gonna probably be pedals and a wheel. The pedals should be pretty nice from what I've heard.
Thats good I did keep typing I accidently pressed send before done. I wrote alot more out because I want to give fanatec credit in ways. I can see how hard thay are trying. Tbh the fact all packages have shown up already from there black friday sales to literally everybody is a huge step foward. @@OCRacing
4:29 the Fanatec Clubsport Shifter 1.5 has a Sequential Shifter mode vis the switch at the bottom. There's no way Fanatec would make the hand brake conflict with another one of their products...
I’ve been trying to use this handbrake but for some reason it will not recognise the handbrake on car X at all then when I try to load up GT7 it will recognise handbrake but when I apply handbrake it will stay in handbrake mode and will not come off Then when I restart race and go back in handbrake will not work at all then on WRC generations handbrake will work
@@OCRacing Now I know that Moza has both a handbrake and a sequential shifter. Unfortunately not both in one device. Btw, how does the sequential mode of Thrustmaster TH8 compare to "real" sequential shifters? Could that also be used as handbrake?
The lever bolt is poorly built mine broke under basic load adjusting load cell pre load before even using it in game. Specifically the threading on the short male side snapped under load. Thankfully I successfully removed it from the large female half and replaced it with an m6 bolt and some washers for good measure. Disappointing choice of build quality for such an important part, and is hands down the largest point of failure to deal with. Still waiting to hear back on my support ticket, which I don't expect to happen until next year.
yeah im just going with a simagic tb1 lol. cheaper, better quality, more adjustment it looks like. and i find it dumb that they still requrie a fanatec base
Yes but it’s very mediocre. The ClubSport shifter is very much an H-pattern first with a poorly performing sequential shifter option. Nobody buys that only for the sequential shifter setting. With this handbrake, they could have made a much better sequential offering, similar to how Thrustmaster did with the Sparco handbrake.
Fanatecs insistance on locking you into their ecosystem is one of the many reasons I gave up on them years ago. Its not even the extra $20 you have to spend for the dongle, its the principle of the matter. They could've made the product $20 more, included the dongle and no one would've batted an eyelid. This way it feels like they are forcing you into their ecosystem. If they have to force the customers to use their products that is indicative of the products need to be better. A company that is just making the best things that they can doesnt need to pull cheap tricks to get people invested in their products because the products sell themselves by just being good.
I absolutely hate the adapter, the fact that shipping that thing and taxes make it ridicoulousy pricy and regularly i need to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work make fanatec the last on the list of possible purchases.
I've been trying to be a fan of Fanatec, but with my recent experience of purchasing something back in October and never receiving it and not even get a refund, and now this review where they're essentially trying to be Apple of the sim racing space.... I really can't support them anymore. I regret buying into this ecosystem and seriously debating if i should just sell it and go into another one.
Hey! I got myself a MOZA R9 wheelbase but to save money I got a quick release adapter and some cheap rally wheel without buttons. Could you please give away some MOZA wheel literally any wheel. please help me out 🙏 (i know you probably wont do this but it was worth a try)
I have the v1 that I use for rally and to be honest I’m not sure why people talk so much crap about it? It works fantastic and way better then my diy handbrake I made in the past. So all that being said I would love this new one and can’t see why ur complaining about spending 20 bucks when I’m sure you’ve spent thousands on ur own equipment. So considering a 20 dollar solution is cheap. But I do agree it should’ve been included. But literally every company these days does that crap!
Why would it include the USB adapter? It would be a ewaste for SO MANY people that already have a wheelbase. And $20 I believe is the cheapest Fanatec has ever priced anything.
why wouldnt you? its a pretty poor choice for them not to. almsot every other handbrake is compatible as a standalone and have been for a few years. but nooooo fanatec has to be fanatec and do an idiotic move (shocker ik) and not make theirs standalone from the get go years after everyone is already doing that
@momorious really, didn't they once say they were going bankrupt, also i remember where all products were unavailable except for like the upgrade kits for the wheelbases and stuff like that
@ yes really. It was only their mother company Endor AG which filed for insolvency but the Fanatec brand itself was never bankrupt and was bought from Corsair. Nothing was really out-of-stock (at least not in the EU, almost everything was always available and still is).

Very glad to could help! Sounds like you’ve been enjoying it 😀

When are you testing ours!? :D
My people will be in contact with your people (I am people)
It's such a badass handbrake, I own it and f'n love it.
hey sim lab
Send me one, i will test it for you :D
me too xD
at 3:28 that editing is amazing
I love the "in car" shots❤
Your B-Roll is always SS-Tier, keep up the awesome work ❤️🔥

hey man, are you going to make any more iracing videos? i love the way you put them together and can’t wait for the potential next one
Nice review, but Im totally happy with my Simagic TB-RS. Oh and its an hydraulic handbrake :)
Fanatec ecosystem is its core competition. CONSPIT H3 handbrake looks much cooler.
I just set mine up, it's awesome!
OC do you have discount code for track racer ??
good review👍
Are you gonna make anymore sim tour projects videos? Bc I liked seeing other people sims
Yes! Soon 👀
Are you currently planning on reviewing MVH studio’s wheels?
Merry (late) Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
It looks like you have your steering wheel on your rig tilted downwards. Just curious why? I have never in my life seen a downward tilt on a real car.
Its good but having tons of qc issues with it so far.

I’ve been hearing about some of those QC issues. My unit seems to be totally fine however.

Interesting info! Just so I understand, which screws are breaking? The mounting screws? Is it when mounting to the shifter or the rig or both?
I want to start being a creator and I don't know where to find B-Roll. Where do you get yours or do you record it?

Have you done a video on thrustmaster t80
What site do you scroll down at 2:18?
Simspots.com!
@@OCRacing Now I know that Moza has both a handbrake and a sequential shifter. Unfortunately not both in one device.
Btw, how does the sequential mode of Thrustmaster TH8 compare to "real" sequential shifters? Could that also be used as handbrake?
2:08 … I got a faulty dongle. Now I have to go through the support…
The lever bolt is poorly built mine broke under basic load adjusting load cell pre load before even using it in game. Specifically the threading on the short male side snapped under load. Thankfully I successfully removed it from the large female half and replaced it with an m6 bolt and some washers for good measure.

mines did the same with literally 1nm of torque
I was looking At this thanks for the review , can you do a review on the sim magic brake haptics I was thinking about getting it , it’s only 40 bucks
When senna and Silvester Stallone had a baby
When you buying the scorpion cockpit cus we are not letting it slide
yeah im just going with a simagic tb1 lol. cheaper, better quality, more adjustment it looks like. and i find it dumb that they still requrie a fanatec base
Fanatec DOES have a sequential shifter. Literally built into the H pattern one
Yes but it’s very mediocre. The ClubSport shifter is very much an H-pattern first with a poorly performing sequential shifter option. Nobody buys that only for the sequential shifter setting. With this handbrake, they could have made a much better sequential offering, similar to how Thrustmaster did with the Sparco handbrake.
I mean, it's an improment atleast, but still expensive😂
The handbrake itself is certainly a big improvement. How it will hold up to the competition though? That’s a question only time will tell

I've ordered a £40 odd quid one from Aliexpress, hope it's decent, lol (I rarely play classes that need a handbrake)
As long as you don’t beat it too hard, it should be fine 😆
Literally just bought a handbrake. Guess I'll find out if I should've waited.
Edit: glad I didn't wait.
220 bucks can get you a 6+1/sequential hybrid shifter and a handbrake bruh this is insane (for pc)
Which one in particular are you referring to?
Very nice
Looks like plastic, until you get it out of the box, ultimately it's rig bling, I lost my mind when I got it for Gran Tourismo 7...

43 seconds in, Did you fart?
I think I'll just stick with the Sim-Lab handbrake. THATS a handbrake.
It’s a sound effect 🤣
Uh huh, I'd say that too lol @OCRacing
Nice

it's so overpriced compared to simagic's offering
Shit I’m nine hours late
Can I have it?
Buy it.

This is for you: 🥇
Amazing, congrats 👏
Why would it include the USB adapter? It would be a ewaste for SO MANY people that already have a wheelbase. And $20 I believe is the cheapest Fanatec has ever priced anything.
It should just have a USB socket on it

@@malachigrogan7384 To be clear, you’re asking me why they wouldn’t include an adapter for their customers to throw away?

It never was.
