I've owned the TH8S for five months, and it's true that shifters could only be used on some occasions. Having said that, I've had fun racing online with the H-pattern but still need some practice with auto-blip turned off.
What I also found it does well at is being a vertical handbrake when you tick analog mode!
That's a definite down step from the old RS. I still have two of them, one is my handbrake for rally. I took the sequential top lengthened the slot and removed the spring. I added an external spring for tension and it really works great. I have it in the analog hand brake mode. It's brilliant. I am so happy with my Fanatec shifter, switching from sequential to H pattern is a breeze. You can adjust the tension on it too. My only complaint is they did not grease it from the factory. Dry it would wear out fairly quickly.
There is a shifter with a lockout system (I have one) called the Bash Pro by MVH. Very pricey, but I think it's just the tip of the iceberg and we will see this more often, and more affordably, in the future.
sure its an inexpensive h pattern shifter, but what else can it be used for? could gear 1 and 2 be used for flaps? and gear 3 and for for landing gear up and down? Gee tom, why don't you find out yourself? anyways, i like the background cars. They look good. thank you for another video. Peace
I had it for maybe 3 days, this thing would not stay mounted to a desk or my sim rig. I was so looking forward to it being even decent, however it was not to be. My opinion is it's a piece of junk, even the logitech is way better.
@@awakeandwatching953 Yup, i tried 2 different ones. I really wanted to like it and use it but that did not happen. Not the end of the world.Enjoy yours and take care.

Great review as always, Shaun.

It’s a decent shifter for cheap. I replaced the knob with a leather wrapped one for more realistic feel

is it better than the logitech one is they were the same price?
100% better
@@onkulis5720 the th8s is compatible with Logitech wheels since it can directly connect to a pc right?
@@drwhulikesyouyup
@@drwhulikesyou yes, used mine with the g923 and now the pro wheel base
@@onkulis5720no safe lock for reverse gear, not worth for playing simulator games, i'll stick with Driving Force Shifter
Guessing for a slow sim like SNOWRUNNER... this would be just fine ?
Yup, the TH8S would be just fine for snowrunner.
Does it work on f123 or gt7
I'm about to buy my first shifter, I've never used a shifter in my life. Should I buy this?
ive had one for a few months and its very good for the price.. i use it for touge and mx 5 cup in lfm ac
I would be worried about that cheap plastic mount breaking.
No it is actually very sturdy and has hold up very well
You actually can change the knob I have a custom one from Etsy
you have the lotus in the wrong spot cant see it behind your head and it`s the best car there.
