This thing is plastic. Plastic as plastic. However Thrustmaster hit a homerun with. This thing is durable and well made. It may be plastic but it can take a beating. Feels great and responds well. I use it a lot and it still looks and operates like new. DO NOT expect to mount this to your sim rig unless you plan on using a clamp. Great product.

It cheap and works well. I got it because I wanted an H-pattern shifter that won't break the bank and will work on my PS5 with the Thrustmaster T300. My real-life daily driver is in Gran Turismo 7, so I like to cruise around with it in-game.

I got this because i didnt want to spend 300 on the th8a, and i sim on xbox so i had to use a thrustmaster product, it is surprisingly better than i thought it would be. When holding it in your hands you can tell its cheap, but once its mounted it feels great other than the cheap plastic shiftknob. That brings me to one of the 2 dislikes, the shift knob is proprietary, you cant just unscrew it and put a nicer one on, im going to try to thread the shaft but i havent gotten around to it yet. My only other complaint is that it is clamp mount only, its not meant to bolt to a rig , but thats not a big deal, i just would have liked the option. Overall i would recommend to anyone simming on a budget

This shifter works good for the price. You have to keep in mind that miss shifts won’t act the same way as a real car. You have to shift back to neutral, then shift back to your intended gear. This can be frustrating at first but there’s no way for the shifter to “grind gears” to let you know you miss shifted. You just have to be a little more deliberate with your shifts because the feedback of miss shifts is not possible. Great value shifter here. I enjoy using it.

Love it. It's been a great addition to my Sim driving and racing games. Easier to grab the gear I want when racing rally cars, or in a truck Sim. Gives a better immersion to the games. Easy to setup and install. All of my games have recognized it immediately and mapped the gears out automatically.

This thing is a must if you like driving cars or trucks games, hopefully will be plenty of games coming soon to use this baby. It shifts really good, I think if it has a tensioner or something to tighten it could feel like theee real thing i love it.,

A great value for an add on stick shifter. Easy setup and works as expected. This was more of a novelty purchase for me and not something I use often when racing, so for the price point it is more than adequate.

Good Product not best build quality or aftermarket support but would recommend as a cheaper thrustmaster option. A really cool feature is the ability to change shift resistance.

Works very well. Like the fact that reverse has designated slot and 7 forward gears. Logitech shifter feels a little more realistic but the designated reverse and 7 gears makes this one more enjoyable for me.

Very nice shifter. Very smooth and adjustable action. Great price. I read that this one has the same mechanism as the other one that is 3x the price. The difference is this one has a lot more plastic.

I have been using this thrustmaster shifter for a few weeks now and it works great. It is a good choice for any beginners like myself that just got into sim racing. 10/10 would recommend to any beginner
