Excellent shifter. I came from a logitech 6 speed shifter. Theirs no comparison. This shifters immersion is amazing. Also, you wont have the potentiometer issues with this either like the logitech shifters. Its all metal and works off magnetism. Cant go wrong if yoy want a quality shifter. I definitely love mine.

I have been playing racing and driving sims for years and this is by far the best shifter I have had that hasn't cost a fortune or been 100% plastic!! I highly recommend it for anyone who is into racing, trucking or any other driving simulation that's out there which can use a shifter.

Easy to assemble and everything needed is included. High quality, all metal construction. Takes a bit to get used to as there is no resistance to shifting and none of the notchiness of real car, but works very well. Can be set up as a 7 speed with reverse at the lower right or as a sequential shifter.

Very solid construction, you can really feel the difference with the all metal internal mechanism. The adjustable stiffness of the shifter is a nice touch. Closest thing you'll get to an actual cars shifter, I think it's the best shifter when it comes to all around racing simulation. It's gated shifter design is impeccable.

Positive shifts and indestructible build. My G25 shifter died after about three months of playing due to the wires breaking inside. This shifter uses magnets and sensors that are built into the base so no wires will bend and break over time. This is the best shifter I have owned.
It has many different configurations so it will mount anywhere.

Excellent, especially for the price. It is a little slow when transitioning between h pattern and sequential but that's to be expected.

Thrustmaster doesn’t stand behind their products. I bought this shifter one year ago. In June 2018 I sent it in for repair due to the wires completely detaching. See photos. It is now Dec 2018 and the wires have detached again. The screws were also poorly secured on the outside of the shifter. I contacted Thrustmaster and their response was that the repaired shifter only carried a 3 month warranty. They also informed me that my one year warranty expired Dec. 9th 2018. I will never purchase any of their products again! Sure it worked but don’t expect longevity. & Don’t expect Thrustmaster to stand behind their products!!
