My kids love it. But, be careful. I naively purchased this add-on to add to a previously purchased Thrustmaster steering wheel. When it arrived, my son was thrilled, but quickly disappointed when we went to set things up. The wheel that we had didn't work with a gear shifter. To make this work, we had to purchase ANOTHER more expensive wheel.

Box came a little beat up, but other than that, the shifter is pretty good for it being mostly plastic around it. My only problem with it is the pieces separating the gears are a little too short. It’s way too easy to slip into the wrong gear.

I've never driven stick before. Had a general idea about how it works but never really had a way to try it out. I kind of feel like I could figure it out if put behind the wheel of a real manual transmission car after playing a couple games with this shifter.
Setup was easy in that just plugging it in kind of works. I went to the website and downloaded the drivers for it but I don't think much changed from when I just had it plugged in to my computer without drivers. The only thing that's going to complicate setup is going to be making sure it works right in your game of choice. I connected my shifter directly to the computer via USB so it acted just like a separate unit. I imagine if you have a thrustmaster wheel with the correct connection, setup could be even easier for some games.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 had things set up just about automatically as far as the shifter went. I just had to adjust settings for my wheel and pedals (Logitech G923). But with the default control wizard, the shifter had all of it's inputs set up already.
Forza Horizon 5 needed a little extra setup. But it was a simple matter of just going to the controls and selecting each gear and then moving the shifter to that gear to set that input. After that, everything worked great.
I'm sure there are more challenging games to set up but any driving game that allows wheel and pedal controls should have the ability to set this shifter up (don't quote me on that).
The feel is pretty nice. Maybe a little stiff? Again, I don't drive stick, but my dad did when I was a kid and I remember the shifter feeling pretty loose. This has some play in neutral but it has a spring back to the center so it also feels a little rigid. The gears felt easy enough to shift into and over time I could see myself hitting exactly what gear I'm looking for every time. I found myself jumping over gears occasionally just from not being familiar with the spacing. But overall, clamped to my desk, the shifter felt how I'd assume it should feel.
I've never considered getting a shifter but since I had this nice wheel already I figured I'd give it a shot and I'm glad I did. I like it. I think I'll play most of my racing games with manual transmission in the future just for the practice and I'm a fan of a little more immersion in things like truck and farming simulators which this offers plenty of. Definitely consider this one if it fits your budget and you're looking for something that just works for the most part.

This product is worth buying. Really takes ps5 vr2 driving to the next level. Gear box feels like a real stick shift.
