[@raphII2]

Most of these things are due to price, I don't see how going in reverse is that difficult for you, but I've got a car that uses the same mechanism so I guess I'm used to it. The shifts are WAY better short, you don't want to be shifting with a long throw in a sports car it makes shifting really slow compared to the shorter throw and is actually harder for me to miss gears when using short throw shifters. The thrustmaster shifter is about the same throw, but the leaver is longer and the shifter is gated.. and it costs twice as much..

[@OCRacing]

I agree with what you said. I think the biggest problem with this shifter is simply how little force is actually required to switch gears. Totally aware that this is due to its low price and in all honestly, I don't know of any other H-pattern shifters in the market at this price point. This shifter isn't bad considering the price, I wouldn't say its necessarily good either. Its kind of just decent for the price.

[@ypk1580]

The problem with shifting into reverse may just be your unit.... I've played with the G27 and G29 shifters, and in both of the units that I played with went into reverse completely fine. I actually modded my G27 shifter by adding some velcro to the inside where the shift mechinism is that result in better feel when you shift and reduced noise of the stick hitting the walls on the inside.

[@_Zekken]

So i literally just bought a G29 with the shifter as my first ever wheel. Ive never used any sim wheels aside from logitech ones before, so idk about those, but I *HAVE* owned driven plenty of real manual cars, so im comparing it mainly to my real car outside. It feels... good enough. Yes, the reverse gear was the first thing I noticed. It hates going into reverse, also the shifter feels too light for what im used to. Yeah the gears are very close together, but I havent had any problems with miss shifts so far, only once or twice. Otherwise for me, it feels satisfying and realistic enough for my needs at least.

[@wolo]

The problem with reverse is actually well known, it seems it occurs in all versions. This is caused by micro-cracks on the circuits of that small board with two wires and a switch, which can be found at the very bottom inside of the shifter. The reason it don't react sometimes is after some number of pressing the lever down to use the reverse, it presses that button on that tiny board, and clearly it's not sturdy enough and eventually connections on that board are sometimes split/broken (there's two of these lines, leading from one of the wires to the switch and then back to the second wire.) To fix that you need to re-make these two circuits, ie. by soldering some wire instead, which will be much more sure working in such stressful conditions. So: open the shifter, carefully remove the main shift mechanism and locate that little board somewhere under it. (it's good to hold the mechanism, to not have to waste time reassembling some parts of it when you let it split to parts.. try to find someone to hold it for that time or maybe use some clamp, like these for woodworkers) Then fix these mentioned connections on that board (don't waste your time examining how they look and trying to find the break on them. You'll probably won't, such are too small to recognize them easily, just solder wires to connect the points which are originally connected with these lines, then put it back, assemble with the mechanism and that should be it.

When I owned a g27 I tried a handful of mods, none of them really made me happy. Aftermarket shift knobs make it much heavier, and then the shifter feels sloppy as you are able to easily overpower the detent bearings (these let you feel a click of resistance between gears). For the price I can't put it down too much, but I see it as a stepping stone for someone new to sim racing that isn't ready to pay $2-300 for a shifter alone

[@daviddoan9447]

I completely agree with you. The feel is so discouraging. I literally drive a manual in real life and the feel between gears make me go to neutral every time I play GT6.

[@FRIEDWINGZ17]

having buttons and a sequential mode would have been really cool for sure. no clue why they thought removing the buttons and stuff was a good idea. I have to agree about the plastic bit on the knob, after a handful of sessions with it, it started moving around and popping up like yours. I got used to the reverse gear, it became easier once i got a frame for my rig and wasnt afraid to push on stuff. and yeah it is pretty toy-like. i like how easy it is to push into gear (i practically just slap the thing forward to go 4th-3rd). but yeah, having a nice clunk feeling would complete it. But the price tho! considering a thrustmaster shifter is like $170 and all you get extra is sequential mode and a 7th gear (dont know if it feels any better, I would hope but i havent tried it), logitech prob doesnt see a reason to make the shifter better or cheaper. good to know other people have some of the same gripes as I do.

with the reverse gear i found that once i used the shifter for a pretty long time and the plastics and mechanisms have worn in, i see that when someone else is using the shifter they have a very hard time shifting into any gear. the best comment i got is that "it shifts like an old truck". But i have no problem with shifting.

[@samwich635games3]

You can go to a local car shop and buy a new shift nob to attach instead of ball making it more comfortable and realistic. Also adding an ascetically pleasing effect to the setup.

I have a Logitech wheel and thought I could get a cheap usb shifter but realized it's for PC only. I can't get a thrustmaster so I customized the Logitech shifter. And put a stiffener along with a nice looking knob!

[@arun-zx4mu]

I own one too and the reverse issue is apprent In mine and it drives me crazy

[@djnazgra]

change the spring that holds the metal ball to a more stiffer one. gives awesome feeling

[@Carne2000]

I have seen so many review saying it felt cheap so when I got it I was expecting it to feel cheaper bit I was pleased with how it functions. But extra buttons would have been cool.

I bought one of those Aliexpress Shifters for 40€ and its rly dope. Nice clacking and tactical shifting and it features 8 gears which is pretty neat when you are playing games like forza horizon.

[@leakybandz1208]

Coming from someone who’s only had it, there’s no problem with it. Its basically 0 force feedback vibes but its nice and DONT plan on upgrading it anytime soon

[@SANGSAFE]

there's a new shifter called "GGK Shifter" or something I think it's kinda decent

[@SimpleManMike]

I’ve had both, Fanatec: Expensive, cool, luxurious, Logitech: Home, it’s good, you like it, it doesn’t have weird bath controls. I love the Logitech but prefer Fanatec (ofc) but there isn’t a day where I regret selling my Fanatec to later down the line buy a Logitech. Definitely one of the best decisions I made.

[@formulazone8232]

My dad tried it and said it felt just like his Audi TT’s shifter

[@djkuehlschrank]

The problem with the reverse gear is not only for you, its for mine too

[@Death297-TB23]

I didn’t know how to reverse with the shifter until this video

[@blob0000]

I absolutely hate the leather. It often gets stuck and springs the gear back to neutral, grinding gears in the game.

[@jamescooper5159]

Yea man I understand the reverse issue. It’s the same for me. And I just don’t use the plastic piece on top

[@danielsuarez786]

I've never mistaken 6th for reverse, but it's certainly slow. The toyish feel is true, but you must compare it's price to the betyer ones. If you are an H shifter fanatic you should mod this or upgrade to one better as soon as you have the budget. 7/10, for me, due to it's price.

[@tiagosoaresmanuel5800]

nice vid really good quallity, thanks for the review

[@awdigo]

the "tencheners" dosent go down like on the wheel and im pretty sure its suposed to do that since its posible to push them downwords

[@kiru3022]

So can you buy another shifter for g29 or g920

[@NicReid4]

Nearly at 3K your channel is growing faster

[@Spheredalai]

where can I get the oldest shifter? simply having a sequential and h shifter in 1 package is awesome

[@DeTroyer08]

The thing that shifts from h to sequential breaks too easy

[@skiez7430]

you can use the metal tabs on ur logitech steering wheel instead

[@Spheredalai]

@@skiez7430 are you talking about the paddle shifters? nah screw that. i want to drive a proper rally car, not a damned ferrari

[@skiez7430]

@@Spheredalai agreed. paddle shifting is not satisfying

[@kapten5333]

the reverse bit is really relatable it always put me in sixth

[@homurayurisquad1423]

i still own a g25 and not a g29 or 920. can you use old shifter on newer wheels though? i like having an ebrake button without having to go out of my way to do mods, and have a custom rig just for racing games that take lots of money and space.

[@forestR1]

agree 100%. I picked one up with a 2nd hand wheel and the cap was already missing

[@KanekiAtOtaku]

idk, as a person who had a 1995 eclipse where I had a short shifter, and had to put it in reverse the same way as this shifter.... I like it lol

[@fujiwara7088]

2:03 I think It would be kinda cool. I dunno
