MAKE THIS SEQUENTIAL SHIFTER USB | DIY SIM RACING
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Easy DIY USB Sequential Shifter for Sim Racing. This basic Sequential shifter is made by modding an existing arcade joystick. The design also has minimal fabrication, is neat, cheap and compact.
It is USB, stand alone and can be used in combination with any steering wheel combination - Logitech, G25, G27, G29, G920, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, or OSW.
The wires can be soldered to switchs, but shown as plug in to keep it easy for people without access to soldering irons.
The joystick from standard has little resistance, and needs to be modded to be functional as a sequential.
By relocating the standard plastic ring under the metal plate it increases some of the force to shift. The rubber O ring and carbon plate add more resistance. The carbon also finishes off the top nicely.
Lower spring could also be upgraded to a higher strength item.
Try different thickness O rings / rubber fuel hose, ect under the carbon plate to adjust resistance of lever to your liking.

1st Comment! Love the vids, keep up the great work. : )
Thanks!
amstudio did you find me om steam
is it possible to also use a 4/8 way joystick, cuz its much cheaper than the one you used? also keep up your vids!
I did it today.... But with some little changes. The round zippy plastic cover I putted over the metal plate.
But most important its a Oring of 25x3mm putted behind the joystick over the 2x4x8 plastic so the shifter get harder.. where I can send you photos?
+Gigio Conio Nice work , you can send the pictures to my business email found on my channel.
OMG he's putting sim companies out of business! :)
No kidding!!
Love this setup! proof that you don't need an expensive rig to do some serious sim racing !
Start your own Buisness and call it something like amStudios Sim Racing pls and you would get high up there
So true
I got the parts today and it took 5 minutes to put together! works fantastic saved me lots of cash thank you!
please start selling. we are all to lazy to do it ourselfs
cha1k D for the love of all things please sell these
cha1k D
So true
lol..
I would definitely buy this too.
Please
Dude, seriously good stuff, just watched your vids, 5 back to back. Love the usb convertors to abstract the logitech control away. Awesome.
Ordered this , got it, built it, took 15mins to build and bolt to table, many thanks amstudio
Can you tell item names
Finally!! I have looked forward to this video for so long. Geat work!
KEEP IT UP!
I am just wondering about 1 thing:
could u have connected the sequential gear the same way u did with the diy handbrake? By using a keyboard PCB?
and
what about a rig/desktop showcase video?
Yes can use a keyboard PCB as well
Maybe its about time i get myself a proper pc. I need this !! Nice vid mate
you could also make this a handbrake
As always, a very nice build! you deserve more subs man😆 you got great videos!
i didnt get a notification for your upload :( awesome video im gonna defiently add this to the sim.
Just made it, 2 hours work. But only with wood and standard red ball stick, not as fancy as yours :) Thank you for the tip, actually this mame button set is lying under my table for couple of years! What was I thinking :)
Actually doing this rn and gonna laser cut a box to make it look good for my new setup (thx for the diy idea)
Eres un genio! he comprado hoy el joystick en ebay por 12€ y sustituire el encoder USB por un arduino leonardo que tengo, asi ademas hago la botonera y el freno de mano progresivo todo con un mismo circuito. Gracias y un saludo desde España!
Looks neat. Those extra micro switches can make a handbrake mod.
Making one of these too, at the end of the month!
Thanks again AmStudio.
i made a sequential shifter using a keyboard i found at the thrift store. I've succesfully completed a fully DIY cardboard racing sim rig. using cardboard, hot glue, tape, a computer mouse (wheel) pedals (Bluetooth xbox remote) and shifter ($3 keyboard)
Can you put links to where you buy all of the stuff? Btw great video's man! keep it up!!!!
*videos
Can you make a video on Dials with (hands I guess) don't know the name. Like a real tach. Awesome vid man
Sure thing!
amstudio tysm dude, that's awesome XD
amstudio is it possible to wire a momentary switch to the square button on the Logitech g29?
i love your vids, everything you do ends up with amazing and sturdy finish
Thanks tommywagner96
Your setup is awesome!
great video bud! hey was the M10 adapter custom taped for the joystick thread or were you able to order it somewhere?
Another amazing video bro!
Instant sub!
thats a $30 kit. with 10 buttons incuded. you can also make a diy button box for your rig.
that's what I was thinking!
Magnífico! Como todos tus trabajos. Diseños muy cuidados y sencillos. Enhorabuena!!
Nice video again. I got a question, not about this thing but in general. Which GPU do you have? Maybe I want 3 monitors for racing too.
This in indeed genius and great keep up the good work with them mods
I guess no problem to connect it with arduino instead an arcade usb interface right? Great channel,love to see more projects in future (I also have an E36 dash on the way :D).
Ty for sharing!
*awesome work as usual*
You rock man... Thank's for the good videos 👍
Thanks!
Man you are a god diy for sim racing im a french and i love you :) but the H-Shifter is the next ? :) :)
Respect and continue you'r vidéo
Keep up the good work, you are awesome.
Great video man!
cool. i'm trying to make one similar to your analog handbrake mod. just waiting for more parts to arrive in the mail.
I know you didn’t used to do voice overs. But now could you put a transcript in the description of what you would have said on your older videos.
Subscribed. Great job!
so awesome! im going to build this. how did you mount this?
A video about screw and unscrew. Amazing
good job with the sequential shifter 😉
I finally completed this build! Thanks so much
Except I really had no way of finding the screw thread so I just had to use one of the adaptors with my stick, hammer it in, and hope it stays (it still is).
Pl can u link the screw thread adapter?
Yes I’m struggling to find that too. Stopped my build
I was wondering, since the shifters basically is programmed to go up or a down a gear based on two button inputs, what if you turn those USB programmable keypads that are 2 buttons, into a lever based mechanism in a box?
You could even use a gear or pulley system to mechanically move connected levers and joints to press said button, or it could be a 3d printed project.
Something akin to those Sega Arcade driving shifters for Initial D.
3D print an enclosure, use more Springs and joints to determine how a lever moves and is pushed back to neutral.
Did you mount that to the edge of the table and if you did then can you share how?
Don't want to drill anything to the table so I was thinking about some sort of clamp setup but have not figured out a good solution yet.
Hey! I was wondering if you still had this shifter and if it would be possible to get a couple of pictures showing where you tucked the board and how you mount it. Also was wondering where did you get the plate for it?
Next DIY 3 monitor stand ... those are way to far from your wheel to get a good FOV. all you other stuff is really nice. I would make them if I knew where to get all the pieces.
great work! thanks a lot a love your vídeos.
Now i need to find that gate for the joystick
I use the same system to make a hand brake, but it does not work at all games. Could you explain how to make it work with g27 / 29 / etc?
Thanks for video and your works. A finger in top!!!!
Cool mate, cheers, AussieStig
Awesom. Keep up the good vids
A few of the pieces are no longer available from the links you provided is there a chance we could have a parts list and go searching for them as well? Thank you for the video, help and your time!!!
im about to start this actually...so this will work with thrustmaster as well..you will have to take the wheel apart and solder the switch wires to the corrisponding shift paddle..but really do able. i'll respond when im done...
Hello this shifter is compatible with thrumaster tmx?
Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome work as usual!
When i'm done with the handbrake i'll start with this one!!
Loving you video's, great work :)
Out of interest, what monitors are you using there, the thin bezels are very nice!
Thanks, using 27" LG IPS LED Monitors
Awesome job. The Carbon plate link is no longer available any clue where to find it? Also would you pls tell me how did you sitck the joystick to the desk? Cheers!
Hats off... great idea.
Is soldering something like this into the g29 pretty straight forward?
I have a PS4 and not a PC so I doubt USB devices will work in the same way which means I'd have to incorporate them into the G29.
I have watched a few of your videos and am being inspired to better my own setup using your methods.
Love it, but why go thru the trouble of removing the switches instead of just leaving them disconnected?
Great! support for mounting at desk or Playseast ?
Wow man! you are king! +1sub
Great just fantastic , could you please da a video on how to wire / solder the correct way rotary dials , / to a board , I always get confused when I do it , thank you very much love your work .:)
Hey! Love your videos! But I have a quick question, can you sell these things? Because i'm interested in the handbrake and the speedometer!
Love this! Great work! Could you make a PS4 version tutorial?
Hi! thanks for your video! Could you tell me what tipe of gear shift extender I need?
Did you find it lol?
That handbrake is great...
Amazing! Thank you
Hi imterested in using this for my Logitech G27 sequential shifter. I already know where to solder onto the G27, but on the joystick I was trying to figure out where would my soldering points would be, but i guess i can just connect the wires like you did in the video, and then just solder them to the G27.
How did you mount your projects to your desk/monitor? I made the sequential shifter recently , but I can't mount it easy to my desk.
Same here
Try C clamps.
Very Nice Build 👍🏼, do you "have another link" for Gear Shifter Knob & Carbon Fibre Plate ??
Thanks made this and works great
I've done mine, thanks a lot!
Been searching for the "M10 bolt with taped thread - M6x1 internal" for weeks. Does anybody know where to find one?
I got all the parts except that one and I'm going crazy.
make one
What do you think about your Logitech shifter in comparison to this one? I’m looking to get a shifter and would like it to be sequential so I would end up modding the Logitech. Thanks for your input!
@amstudio Amazing! Nice work. I own the Logitech G920, do you know if it's possible to wire the paddle shifter buttons in the PCB to be used with this shifter? I know it's possible to wire some other buttons but not these ones. Thank you!
make karting wheel please!
awesome work
please post an entire setup video PLEASE
I just made it by myself i bought the joystick that you said and it worked! pretty well but the joystick comes from china?!
The carbon fiber part is not available anymore, could you tell me the name of the piece please? Also, how did you mount it to your desk?
Thank you!
Hello. This is a great video thank you. Can you tell me what the Gear Knob is please? Sorry, but the link in your description is 404 now! Not surprising after all these years really...
;-)
What model of LG monitors are you using for your setup? Is the center one debezeled, or is it just overlapping the side ones?
Hello. Love your vids but im shit at making stuff. Altho i have a question. What are those monitors size? 24 or 27?
27"
super !!!! nice !!!
found you on reddit. Subbed!
Can i use 2 joysticks on one usb encoder? My idea is to set one as a sequential shifter and the other one as a handbrake But using only one encoder Did u ever tried? You think that will work?
Please tell me hows the feel of it, im currently using a joystick as a shifter/handbrake, does this have a better "feel" when ripping it on track?
Bro im gonna try to do the same but in gonna wire it directly(soldering) to the paddles of a thrustmaster ferrari 458 spider rig and since it's the cheapest one rig on the market and i have one also a t3pa laying around it might be the only way to save this oldie rig...hey bro, is that a sanwa arcade joystick? because i found plenty on my country ..how bout the weld idea @Amstudio? im never did it yet but as ive seen some vids here on RUclips it seems to be a little easy...would you believe is it gonna work on my xbox one bro?please keep up with this amazing and clarify vids👏👏👏👏👏😉 greetings from 🇧🇷
Amstudio creates other things, you're very good.
Class!!!! 🔥🔥 Btw Would it work on PS4 through USB?
PC only to my knowledge. Thrustmaster and Logitech both have add ons but they are much more expensive.
Where did you get your bolt from to extend the shaft height?
i love your vids. nice and quality. please make e-shifter :)
Love the videos, however i would like to say that it would be easier for us to understand if you actually explain each step. I enjoy every video you upload but understand only very few of them. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
What thread size is the mountig for the shiftknob
Did you made the adapder by yourslef
now H-pattern plus clutch pedal?
Bananovskyy he has a clutch and h shifter, he make a sequental shifter. if he drive he used homemade sequental shifter and clutch
Can you take DIY shifter you made here and use that for a handbrake just make it one come back in one direction?
Please show how you set the shifter on table
I love it I gonna do it
Hi I can't understand what you used to make the gear lever extension, can you send me a product link? Thank you
