Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter, H-Pattern & Sequential Add-On - PS5, XBOX & PC | Two driving styles, 7+1 gears, compatible with all Thrustmaster racing wheels, 100% metal, Hall effect, easily mountable

I waited forever before deciding myself to by this Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On gearbox shifter for PC. The main reason was that the price has been variating quite a lot with a minimum observed around $150. The second reason was that I was enjoying the pads shifters on my wheel and I was satisfied with it. Eventually, after getting the Sparco Handbrake, getting the manual shifter became logical too... Both are attaching to the Thrustmaster clamp which I also bought. I had to pay more than the base price but I am glad that I did because now the item is only available by other sellers and for a ridiculous price (over $200) So now I have the Thrustmaster TS-PC racer with the Ferrari GTE-F458 wheel as an add-On, the TH8A gearbox shifter, the Sparco Handbrake and the T3PA Pro pedals. I understand that it is medium range in term of quality (when compared to direct drive wheels and load cells pedals) but it makes for a wonderful immersion. As for the Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter, I find it, like all other Thrustmaster equipment, expensive but also of a great manufacture quality. Experience wise, it works as well as an H shifter or sequential. The swap from one to the other requires a screwdriver and a little bit of work but I do not expect anyone to change frequently. It is actually more than an H shifter since it has actually 8 slots (7 gears + reverse). It is very sturdy and provides a good feel as for the spring and handling. In conclusion: Yes, I greatly recommend it for a better rallye experience like Dirt Rallye 2 and all the games for which a manual gearbox would be preferable. It is easy to configure, compatible with all other Thrustmaster equipment but even more. 5 stars.

Got this to play Assetto Corsa and have had a great time with it. Super sturdy feeling, lots of metal on this product and it feels amazing going through the gears whether in a race or just cruising on No Hesi type tracks. This just feels like a shifter that will last a while.

The TH8A is a huge upgrade over a standard shifter. It feels solid, shifts smoothly, and the all-metal construction gives it a very realistic feel. Installation was easy, and it's been a great addition to my racing setup.

I'll start by saying that I bought this item at a greatly reduced price because it was used and in acceptable condition. I was leary of buying at first but I thought what the heck any issue at this much below the price gouging sellers I can overlook or fix myself. To my surprise there was absolutely nothing wrong cosmetically and the functionality is as new. Not sure why the used acceptable condition selling status but definitely a win. This shifter is amazing. I did notice that when connecting directly to steering wheel(t-150) i had issues with gears changing on game without moving shifter. Solution is to not connect directly to steering wheel but instead use supplied USB adapter and connect to console/pc. I read this is only for t150 and it doesn't list t150 as compatible on box but works just as well. Great heavy product. Well built and will last..would definitely recommend.

Worked fantastic in my sim setup, got this one to use for an E -break for precision driving. Really helps you lock in to the came, especially if you have force feedback, Vr, And surround sound... Little to emersive the wheel blocked while in the middle of a season... it was really awesome when I had the chance to use it, it out lived some hardcore rally. Capable of working with a various amount of console's.

I have this shifter mounted to my Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 after upgrading from the Logitech Shifter. While it was easier to miss gears on the Logitech, the TH8A from Thustmaster doesn't feel as realistic. I liked that the Logitech had the press down and shift for Reverse feature. The Thrustmaster TH8A has 7 positions and a reverse. I do like that the gear shifter knob is interchangeable with actual shifter knobs from cars. The gears are fairly accurate and rarely miss. The sequential shifter mod seems like an odd thing to offer with shifter with a cheap plastic plate that replaces the cover after some adjusting; I feel like this could have been implemented better. The main reasons I upgraded to this shifter from the Logitech one is that the Logitech needed an adapter to work on its own; where as the Thrustmaster comes with a cable adapter for USB. The construction is very solid and like I mentioned, it's actually hard to miss gears. If realism is what you're looking for, I don't get a realistic vibe from using this shifter. Also, I haven't found a use for the 7th gear yet in iRacing. Overall, it's a well contructed H-Pattern shifter; I wouldn't recommend it for the Sequential Shifter plate that it comes with. It mounted well to my wheel stand and seems very durable.

I currently own a Logitech G27 shifter and by far the build quality of the Thrustmaster TH8A is miles high compared to the Logitech. Having the ability to switch to sequential shifting is a huge plus. The shifting gates give solid feedback when you shift giving a solid mechanical thunk when the gear is selected. That is something that the Logitech lacked. I did like the additional buttons and hat switch on the G27 but is not a deal breaker considering the quality difference and feel. The only downside, if you can call it that, is this price which is higher than the competition. However, after seeing them next to one another and actually using both I'm more than happy to spend a few extra dollars for a shifter that should last a very long time and give me flexibility to shift using an H pattern or sequential. The second complaint I have is that Amazon decided to ship this item by slapping a shipping label directly on the box, the retail packaging box, and stick it on my doorstep. Anyone can see what it is as they walk past my door and it is a big siren that wails "Steal me!" I can understand they want to lower the amount of materials used to ship an item but that is just asking for package theft to go through the roof which will only cost them more in replacements that just using a box in the first place. I understand that a package thief will steal no matter what but openly advertising what something is might just make someone tip over the edge knowing what it is rather than what it might be. Please Amazon use common sense on this new money savings tactic. Maybe use correctly sized boxes and less packing material and leave the security in place of discretely hiding the product from open eyes.

What i am using: t300 rs servo, tx servo, vg tm leather wheel, t3pa pro, and now the th8a shifter. This shifter is a great addition for adding fun into the racing sim. Just like the clutch in the t3pa, i used to think a shifter was "too hardcore" for me. Luckily i was wrong, the shifter adds a layer of immersion and common sense interaction for racing. Surprisingly i got better by using the shifter vs the paddles. The added control of gears and paired with the clutch just makes for a more dynamic fun shifting. I dont know about realism because i dont have the reference to comparw, but this shifter is adding lots of fun to my racing hobby. I would reccomend this for those that are playing a lot of racing sim, because it is pricey and is better appreciated after having some "mileage " on racing sim. I started with the stock tx servo and upgraded at my own pace. Each upgrade brought tremendous improvement and i was able to appreciate/enjoy the difference. This is my first shifter and im surprised at how easy it is to use. Built quality is just top notch

しっかり感あってとても良い。シーケンシャルにもなるし、4速をバンドブーレーキに設定してハンドブレーキにもなる。正規品のハンドブレーキ高すぎるからね。

Superbe boîte à vitesse, rien à redire. Je recommande.

Shifter wykonany z wysokiej jakości materiałów, z możliwością zmiany trybu na sekwencyjny i przykręcenia do blatu lub stojaka na kierownicę. U mnie pracuje zamontowany do stojaka Next Level Racing NLR-S023. Przymierzałem się pierwotnie do zakupu TH8S, ale finalnie zdecydowałem się na TH8A ze względu na wykonanie wnętrza. Konstrukcja TH8A wydaje się być zdecydowanie trwalsza i powinna działać bez zarzutu dłużej niż tańsza wersja. Nawiasem mówiąc, nie spodziewałem się, że dokupienie drążka będzie takim gamechangerem. Wydawało mi się, że drążek to zbędny bajer, ale gra mi się zdecydowanie przyjemniej z nim niż bez niego, nawet jeśli ścigam się stosunkowo wolnymi samochodami, to odczucia z jazdy są przyjemniejsze.

Es el mejoe shifter de entrada, sensación muy realista y muy buena calidad

أنصح به بشدة لهواة الناقل اليدوي سواء في ألعاب المحاكاة أو السباقات وقد تم شراؤه في فترة تخفيضات بسعر 615 ريال ولا أنصح بشراءه بأعلى من هذا السعر بالرغم من الجودة العالية للمنتج والشعور المميز والرائع جدا في متعة القيادة على الألعاب.
