Il cambio funziona bene e solido e la leva abbastanza rigida , tutta plastica ma nel complesso sembra robusto,facile installazione con usb , finalmente un prodotto che ha un prezzo competitivo rispetto ad altri ,non pu essere trasformato in cambio sequenziale ma nel complesso ottimo prodotto!
Se sujeta bien en mi mesa, no he tenido ningn problema en ese sentido, de hecho vale para cualquier mesas y/o escritorio de 0,1 a 4 cm de grosor del tablero.
A nosotros nos ha servido para lo que necesitbamos, no hemos tenido ningn problema y se puede recomendar.
Fonctionne parfaitement changer tout une fois branch trs agrable un peu bruit quand on y va fort lolmais’il existe des coussinet en caoutchouc a plac dans la fourchette pour quel arrte de claquer au changement de rapport sinon trs bon produi
Den r helt ok, faktiskt ganska stadig trots mestadels plast. Bra att man kan justera hrdheten. Dock fr klonkig och lngsam fr snabba bilar med mnga vxlar, d blir det fr mycket lastbil ver det hela. Aprop det s r den utmrkt till buss och lastbilsspel.
EXCELENTE PRODUCTO!!! POR QUE THRUSTMASTER NO HA PODIDO HACER UNA CONEXIN DIRECTA A LA BASE PARA PC? POR QUE? POR QUE EN PC NO SIRVE LA CONEXIN A LA BASE? Lo he comprado porque hay algunos simuladores que no reconoce y no estn preparados para reconocer el cambio de velocidades conectado a usb
Feels nice for the moneys. Abusued it in dirt rally 2 with the Audi Quattro group-B thingy, not broken yet.. Will it last? I think so.
Miss shifting sometimes on the higher gears, but its ok.
Adds to theimmersion of Gt racing, or anything with a stick shift. Well built. Shifting feels good. Brief learning curve to drive one handed at times with force feedback wheel while shifting. Perfect if mounted to a desk compared to other Thrustmaster model.
Installation was simple

Accoppiato al mio tgt 2 funziona perfettamente, anche se in plastica la qualit percepita ottima, io ho sostituito il pomello con uno in alluminio solo per una questione estetica, prodotto top+++
Das letzte Jahr habe ich mit einem Logitech G29 mit Shifter verbracht, ohne mit dr Schaktung wirklochzufrieden zu sein, Die Referenz ist da wohl die TH8A von TM, die allerdings auch ihren Preis hat. Nun war ich zum Prime-Day auf die TH8S als gnstigere Variante gestossen. Etwas mehr Plasrik, aber fr Truck-Spiele. Ist das nicht ganz so wichtig, da man weniger nektisch schaltet. Ansonsten scheint die Technik darin sehr hnlich oder sogar gleich hu sein, 8 Schaltpositionen (beim Logi waren els 6+R),, die aber mit Hallkontakten arbeiten und dadurxh deutlich prziser umd “verbindlicher”in den Gangpositionen. Fr den Einsatz am TruckSim habe ich einen (separat erhltlichen) schaltknauf mit Range-Splitter-Scaltern, der vorher auch den Logi zierte, montiert, und nun macht das Ganze echt Spa. brigens, die TM Shifter haben zwei Kabel beiliegen, eins mit DIN Steckern gr den Einsatz an der Playstation zum Anschliss am TM-Lenkrad, und eins mit USB fr den (Standajon-) Anschlu am PC. Im Gegensatz zur Logitech Software sind bei TM auch zwei Treiberpaket notwendig. Im Vergleich zum TH8A in der S viel gnstiger, gerade, wenn man keine Rundenzeiten brechen will und etwas ruhiger schaltet.
Fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, provato su iracing, assetto corsa e dirt 2.0
Ci sono sicuramente cambi pi performanti e meno plasticosi, ma per 69 euro sinceramente va alla grande, lo consiglio
Compre Logitech g25 de segunda mano a buen precio porque la palanca estaba daada y no serva, compre este para ver cmo iba y hasta ahora funciona excelente! Lo nico que cabe recalcar es que es necesario que el juego tenga la opcin para configurar la palanca de cambios ya que si no no se podr utilizar.
El material en las fotos del puede ver plsticoso pero ya en fsico se siente de buena calidad y los cambios se sienten ms precisos que en la palanca original del g25
La verdad que la funcin la cumple perfectamente y se puede ajustar la dureza cosa que la hace muy realista. El punto negativo que le puedo sacar es que el pomo sea de plstico de baja calidad, suelo agarrar fuerte este tipo de accesorios o algn cambio brusco y en esos momentos siento como el pomo cruje, rompiendo un poco la sensacin de realismo. Entiendo que deba ser plstico por ese precio, pero quiz, un plstico ms macizo que no haga ruidos. Por lo dems sper contento, totalmente compatible, fue llegar enchufar y jugar!!
Bought this for occasional use in GT7 with my TGT-2, im really pleased with it, adjusted it too be slightly firmer and changed the cheap looking gearknob for a heavier metal version (adapter purchased on ebay). Overall it’s much better quality than the toy like Logitech shifter, it’s a bargain really.
It’s everything I cud ask for in a SIM shifter just wish the din cable was longer as I wud like to run cables were I can’t see them or get in the way much NW have a wire that looks out of place that’s my only con everything else top notch
The screws to replace face plate would not come out , contacted Amazon and they immediately sent out a replacement before I even had the chance to send original back.
Happy son. Brillia
This is pure quality. I can’t say too much more. Setup is easy as Windows just sees it straight away. You get what you pay for and Thrust Master have built a solid and durable piece of hardware. No disappointment here.
Not a bad product, especially considering the price but the lack of feel is noticeable, especially in VR where you cannot look down to double check. If buying this, either be ready to 3d print the upgrades, or jump on ebay and get them and all should be well.
I was initially tempted by the Logitech shifter, but reviews mentioned the build quality being low, and the TM shifter being significantly better, and it also happens to be one of the only other options available for a reasonable price.
Being able to loosen off the shifter gate and rotate it 360 degrees increases the convenience, and the number of different mounting possibilities.
The only game I’ve not been able to use it with so far is Need for Speed 2015, because that game thinks the shifter is the main controller and it makes the menus impossible to navigate, but that’s not the fault of the shifter by any means.
The only slight negative is that you have to swap out the shifter gates if you want to switch between this being an H shifter, or sequential, and if you do switch to sequential the movement is kinda loose.
You can really use this shifter with confidence, the construction means it withstands aggressive shifting without worrying something is going to snap or wear out, and the movement of the main shaft is spot-on. There are no rough zones and every gear position is easy to shift into.
The only reason for awarding 4 stars is my slight disappointment with the actual shifting action. The shaft kind of smoothly slides into place rather than clicking or clunking into place like a real gear shifter. Also, the throw is a bit long for gaming. I have tightened the resistance bolt on the side, but this seems to make the action feel even more unrealistic. Though having said that, the throw and action does remind me of an old VW Passat I used to drive. That too was very smooth, but not positive feeling at all. I feel that with the modern high end sports cars you would drive in a sim this will not quite hit the spot in terms of realistic feel.
These irks are not a total deal breaker though, as the G27 shifter it replaces feels like a plastic fisher price toy in comparison.
Overall then, while considering the cost of offerings from Fantec and FrexGP, the TH8A seems well priced for what you get. A solid well made piece of apparatus, which is easy to install and set up and provides a significant upgrade from the G27 shifter.
100 was eye-watering when I purchased this, but the fact that it’s such a vast improvement to the stock Logitech G27 shifter makes up for that somewhat. Though you’ll never fully be able to fully replicate a car thanks to the vibrations of the metalwork grinding below you, the TH8A does a good job of giving resistance and therefore a lot more satisfaction with every flick of the wrist.
Changing to sequential mode is a huge faff; I only did it once and never did it again after discovering it isn’t all that special – at least not compared to the manual H-shifter. It takes about 5 minutes to do the swap, and that’s just way too long if you’re playing a racing game where you’re constantly switching between cars with different transmissions.
I have the resistance fairly high to replicate a car as much as possible, and as a result it produces a distinctive ‘click’ every time I throw it into a gate. It’s not the end of the world by any means, but it’s a little niggling reminder that you’re still using a toy – albeit a rather elaborate and swanky one. The throws are long, too, but I personally like that little aspect. Even with long throws, you can still pull off very quick shifts.
So make of that what you will, as these flaws can be benefits to some people. It’s not perfect, but at the end of the day, it’s a gaming accessory and not a real car gear stick. It’s not far off though, and the sheer daily pleasure it gives has just – just – about justified its high price.
The quality is great with the 90% metal contruction and the adjustable tension is more than adequate of this type of device and this price range.
Changing from H-pattern to sequential mode can take one minute or more which is the only real hindrance to the overall ease of use, as it cannot be changed “on-the-fly”.
The clamp is strong, the gears are 360 degrees rotatable making it robust and ergonomic.
Overall, it is a great experience and adds to the keyword ‘immersion’ many people look for in an addition such as this, particularly if you are using a clutch in tandem with the gear shifter. Occasionally, Amazon lowers the price of this shifter and it is then when I would recommend making a purchase of this item. If you cannot wait, and Amazon is not doing any price offers, but it is still selling at a good price, I would still recommended making the purchase as it improves the complete package feeling of driving a simulator.
