That's what I liked about my pxn shifter I got with the wheel, when my pxn V10 wheel died I could still use the pedals and shifter via usb and then just got a cheap TMX wheel.. I hate proprietary stuff that you end up locked with like budget Logitech wheels
Just for this in today. I attached to my base but didn’t play yet. Of course I fiddled with it a little though and it feels really good. Can’t wait to actually try it out
Fun fact. If you have a ps3, GT 5 and as T500rs. you can use the shifter via USB-C by connecting to another USB port and then game recognise it and you can use all of the gears.
Can you add a truck shifter on it too? because so far I've only seen truck shifter add ons compatible with the normal th8 but not mentioning the th8s. Thanks in advance
Thanks for taking it apart. I read some comments online from people being under the impression that it has the same (metal) internals as the TH8A - totally unrealistic for 2/5 of the price. This is a good video to link to if I ever come across that misconception again.
Useful to see it being disassembled as i wondered if the 3DRap mod could be added to provide more resistance, i guess not with the plastic internals. Accurate review, I bought this shifter for occasional use in GT7, it fits the bill perfectly as it was hard to justify the additional expense of T8HA. It's generally faster to use the paddles but its fun to use the clutch sometimes and adds an extra level of realism and immersion especially when playing in VR.
3DRAP do have a special tension mod for this shifter. It's not the same as the TH8A mod. I should be getting the mod in, to test and review in the near future.
I was wondering if you know if the red outline can be separated from the shifter itself. My plan is to spray paint it to match the color of the shifter
I'm just waiting on a T248 and a TH8S to play on PC but you're saying the DIN cable won't work? I must connect it through USB-C? I would've thought the wheel could pass it as a different device, hmmm :(
Can you rotate the internals by 180 degrees so it’s facing the other way? To mount it comfortable I need to mount it so what would’ve been 1st gear is reverse.
Good video, i have a Logitech Wheel without shifter, I was considering buy a Chinese shifter, but my brother did buy on and I find it is to much clunky, did no like the feel, this Thrustmaster seems far better and since is connected direct to the PC is good for upgrades, Its a shame they don't this for their pedals and try to scam you to buy another adapter to connect to the PC.
Was wondering if you’ve tried the PXN A7 shifter? It has USB, RJ11, and the DIN connector for use with the Thrustmaster Wheels on consoles and is $10 bucks cheaper than the TH8S. Thanks! And I appreciate any info you may have to share on the topic. 👊
I personally use the shifter that you reviewed, and I don't regret buying it, but it's pretty unreliable. I have already changed one, and now I would prefer something on the Hall sensor
yes, I have a TMX Pro and bought it recently. It works great for me, I play mostly ETS2 and Gas Guzzlers. The material in the shifter is thin cloth so it will be harder to clean, I suggest getting a winter hat or similar size to keep on it while it is not in use (can't wipe with a damp cloth like the "leather" counterparts).

love the fact this thing has both the connector for the wheel and usb unlike the Logitech one

Which of the amazon/aliexpress shifters would you consider to be a better alternative to the TH8S?
Can you add a truck shifter on it too? because so far I've only seen truck shifter add ons compatible with the normal th8 but not mentioning the th8s.
Thanks in advance
It would be really interesting if it had a normal attachment to the cockpit.

Do you know the thread size and length for the screw that holds in the shift knob?
you reckon i’d be able to get a different shift knob on there mate? love your videos by the way i’m gonna sub
I did see a gear knob mod on eBay to do this a while back. It's simply a screw adaptor that goes in the top of the stick.
Woukd you know the thread on the knob? Is it m8?
Hello, could you tell me please which option is best for you:
1-aliexpress 90€ H sifter
2- TM TH8a user at 100€
Thanks

@@SimRacingCorner Thanks will take a look

It's fixed in place.
I'm just waiting on a T248 and a TH8S to play on PC but you're saying the DIN cable won't work? I must connect it through USB-C? I would've thought the wheel could pass it as a different device, hmmm :(
The USB-C plugs into the shifter, gave me a bit of a fright when i saw that too but yeah
I got this recently works great for me on xbox ..
Yeah but do u use the usb cable?
I think good choice who start to use gear shifter or need chip and good performance shifter
Can you rotate the internals by 180 degrees so it’s facing the other way? To mount it comfortable I need to mount it so what would’ve been 1st gear is reverse.
I don't think that would be possible.
Does it have hard mount option for rigs? Or is it just the hand screw?
Just the screw mount
Is there a way to mount it with screws instead of that clamp? Thanks
No, just the clamp.
for steering wheel from Xbox will it fit?
what screw driver are you using to remove the knob
Torx type
Can the door to switch from pc to ps5 can be removed? I would like to have both connected all the time and not have to unplug and plug every time.
Yes, if you take the top off, as in my teardown, it falls out.
Does it work on pxn v10
Love the channel!
Appreciate it!

I haven't, but I might in the future. But right now, not one that's high on my priority list, as I have a number of reviews lined up to keep me busy.
@@SimRacingCorner Right on 👍. Thank you for the quick reply! Have a good one.

Do you mean the Chinese metal shifter? What did fail? The circuit board, the buttons or the mechanical part.
He just began to register switching irregularly, 9 out of 10. Apparently, the switch itself broke.@@0jesse10397
i would like to know too
Does this work on PXN V9? Please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏
On PC it will, but not console.
i know i alredy asked this but WHAT will happen if you plug usb into xbox
Nothing will happen, the console won't recognise the device.
@@SimRacingCorneroh thanks no one answerd accept you
weird i tried it and it worked???@@SimRacingCorner
Is the TH8A also compatible with Xbox X ?
Sure, if you have a Thrustmaster Xbox compatible wheelbase.
still a bit expensive but better than the last one (in price)
Can I use this shifter with Thrustmaster TMX?
If the wheelbase has a shifter socket, then yes.
yes, I have a TMX Pro and bought it recently. It works great for me, I play mostly ETS2 and Gas Guzzlers. The material in the shifter is thin cloth so it will be harder to clean, I suggest getting a winter hat or similar size to keep on it while it is not in use (can't wipe with a damp cloth like the "leather" counterparts).
@@sevantofra Thank you!
also, it plugs in the pc not the din. That is for console.@@oliverbiro6328
Is it work with Logitech G29?
Yes! But only on pc,laptop. And you need to connect the shifter directly to the pc.
Ok thanks
Is it better then a Logitech shifter?
@@MMMM-tr3cf Idk. I'm going to buy one next month, so yea.
@@MMMM-tr3cf It is more durable, it has more gears.
Can't be hard mounted?
No
To me, nothing really excited me. The design is clean, and i can see the appeal to some gamers. Just not for me.
what game is that ?
AMS2
seems quite flimsy for the price
for the price its litarly 59 euros
