Working on a handbrake design :)

[@karhu07]

I bought my whole rig used (tm t300, this shifter, although bought from aliexpress and a rally style handbrake.) Was definitely worth it, and about the wear part, it was used by the previous user for around a 100 hours and i have been using it for probably 1k hours at this point, and it feels like it did 'day one'.

[@karhu07]

And suprisingly no visible wear despite my very aggressive driving style.

[@OCRacing]

@@karhu07 good to know! Thanks for sharing

[@03canadianf5]

I bought one of these as I was tired of my old Fanatec CSR Elite shifters from 8 years ago. I was on my 2nd H shifter and was tired of not having a 7spd H pattern box. I went with this and I have absolutely ZERO regrets. I plan on modding it some to reduce some of the noise.

[@haiiry]

I have exact same shifter and I've added some sound dampening foam (idk exact one, it is used for cars usually) underneath the mechanism on the inside and on the inside walls, it is much more quiet and has more satisfying sound (for my preference). Like the content, thank you ❤️

[@risky4you855]

How did you make it work in Assetto Corsa? Mine wont get detected Ingame but in Content Manager it works

[@haiiry]

@@risky4you855 Hey, sorry I cannot help there, I sold the shifter a month ago :( It should be fine if it is being detected in CM. However I remember that I had some issues with it not being working in game as well for the first time. Not sure what I did for it to work, hope you will figure it out

[@tijj]

@@haiiry what do you have now

[@haiiry]

@@tijj nothing, unfortunately 😁 Had to sell, because I moved to a different country. I wouldn't change it, personally, to something else, little bit of modding and it could be on pair with much more expensive shifters, expect maybe fanater or more premium ones (tho I have only tried Logitech, Thrustmaster and the one from the video)

[@tijj]

@@haiiry and you liked this one the best after modding? Nice definitely gonna consider getting it from like aliexpress for cheap when the time comes

[@FAB1150]

That's actually nicer than I expected, maybe I'll get one so I can drive the occasional manual car. I usually drive a paddle shifter car 95% of the time so it's nice to have a cheap good shifter for that remaining 5%!

[@lolthekidison]

They are actually solid. A little hollow and clicky sounding but nice feeling overall.

[@VegetaWinning]

Buy it off aliexpress a lot cheaper then off amazon got mine for £40 and arrived in a week

[@jamirvillarosa7924]

@@lolthekidison You can easily mod this and remove hollow and clanky sound. My mechanical keyboard experience came to play with this lol. Mind sounds satisfying thocky. no longer obnoxious

[@karhu07]

@@jamirvillarosa7924 how did you mod it, i am interested in nodding it myself too since i use my rig a lot and would appreciate a more 'immersive' experience

[@jamirvillarosa7924]

@@karhu07 lube the bearings and loosen the the screws that holds the bearings(optional, this changes the resistance of the shifter and somewhat adds to silencing). Cut small piece of neoprene foam that's big and snug enough to put in the space behind the bearings where the shaft hits. This way, the foam won't fall down. This will reduce the noise significantly. And finally, apply multiple layers, like 3-4 layer of painters tape in the walls inside the case. Purpose of this is to reduce hollowness, in return reduces case ping/echo inside.

[@kalimba601]

loooove this channel one of the only ones that provide proper good entry level gear reviews!!! tysm!!!

[@OCRacing]

Thank you! And I appreciate you for watching 🤝

[@RazzRG]

I have this and have been useing it for a year. And absolutely no complaints. I have the 6 speed. But take the top plate off and cut a new one and you still can use it as a 7 speed as the extra switch is still there underneath. There is also a version that has a range which is nice for ATS/ETS.

[@Mattes985]

I got a 7 speed and often misshift. And tbh you don't really need a 7 speed imo.

[@RazzRG]

@@Mattes985 yeah I know. Just saying that for anyone that has ether and wants to convert it from a 6 to 7 or 7 to 6 plate that they could. There both the same on the inside. Cheers mate.

[@CalamityBaird]

If you can wait a bit, Banggood has the better version with hall sensors rather than micro switches for about the same price.

[@haiiry]

Do you have a link for that?

[@jamirvillarosa7924]

It sucks tbh. I end up returning it. shifting to 3rd and 4th gear sucked since the shaft is misaligned. You will hit the gates when shifting. I stuck with this and modded.

[@graemeday9292]

This was very helpful, I’m looking to build a more serious race sim mainly for drifting and I’m not a fan of the Logitech shifter and higher end shifters and get expensive. This looks very upgradable too.

[@burgerbait]

The only reason to use a Logitech shifter is because it came with a Logitech wheel but you wouldn't buy a Logitech wheel for drifting anyway. This one looks better than the Thrustmaster shifter. Not as good as Fanatec shifter but for the money it seems to be a solid choice.

[@Gooey27]

I bought this last week on Amazon for $55, I prefer it over the TH8A because you get more resistance even if the TH8A is tightened all the way.

[@diplomatofthesosbrigade931]

I have one. I liked it until it fell apart on me. I had two problems: -the mini USB that plugs into the arduino comes unplugged every now and again -the screws that hold the bottom of the shifter to the side casing are cheap flimsy screws, so one snapped when I tried to remove it and 2 more snapped after about 7 months of use. All the mechanisms still work, it's just the casing popped off. I have it held together with a bunch of duct tape. It'll do until I can get a nicer one, I suppose. Maybe I got unlucky.

[@OCRacing]

Thanks for the insight! I haven’t had any problems with the USB and I used my own mounting bolts. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for how it progresses with use though. Also, I’m thinking of giving away an H-pattern shifter so stay tuned for that 👀

[@Steve93K]

regarding the mini usb connection, the one i have with me is hot-glued. I havent had any problems with screws as i mount them to my aluminum rig. The screws of the whole thing are just small allen head screws though, easily replaceable. But mine isn't perfect, the shift mechanism isnt perfectly lined up, so it collides with the top plate when i shift to third and fourth. Just cheap product QC things. Another tip would be dont get the ones with metal top plates, mine came with metal top and it was constantly grinding the shifter. until the extent that you can see flakes of metal around the top plate. Replaced the top plate with plastic ones and fixed the problem, also made the whole shifter whole lot quieter.

[@diplomatofthesosbrigade931]

@@Steve93K mine was hotglued as well, but i suppose it was poorly done because it broke off. I don't mean the screws that hold the shifter to the rig, i mean the small allen head ones that hold it together. I agree about the metal plate on top, I'd probably replace it with the plastic one if I intended to keep it longer. My gears 2, 4, and 5 have bent switches so mine's a bit funky. I probably did just get a particularly bad one, but I'll just wait until i can get a nicer one to replace it.

[@Steve93K]

@@diplomatofthesosbrigade931 ah yeap. To be honest I di wonder how long will mine hold up. There are hall sensor variants but I question the quality of the hall sensors themselves. Supposedly 'lifetime', but hall sensor usb handbrakes from china fail too...so yeah there's that.

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

there is a updated version of this shifter on ebay for ps5 and ps4 and pc and its even got the serial for the logitech g30

[@FateTwistedNA]

I’m loving this shifter. It delivers good quality while not breaking your wallet like the TH8A, or most other shifters on the market. Does this one have sequential shifting mode tho? I’m trying some rally games out, so figured having one should be nice.

[@halsoy]

Yes and no. You can order it with a piec e that you attach to the metal shifter stick itself that slots sinde what would be 3rd and 4th gear, preventing it from exiting those slots as well as not enabling it to move past the inner ball bearings. This makes it autocenter and only move slightly back and forth, giving you an effective sequential. It works really well with this simple piece installed.

[@kevingeisler8528]

Does it work with xbox one s

[@Logroosee]

Time to find a good wheel to go with this, slowly building together a parts list and this is for sure on it

[@thunderrunnergt4388]

Awesome review. Your vid’s look better and better every upload, nice transitions, sound, everything. Keep up the good work!

[@supraman321]

I've had mine for over a year and it still works great. Mine came with a metal top plate.

[@Gamer-kn7fi]

This video comes in at the right time, i want to get me a new shifter. How is this one compared to the SHH Shifter?

[@OCRacing]

I’m planning on making a big video where I compare a ton of shifters to one another. That being said, due to its metal casing, ease of access, and lower price, I reckon this could take the edge over the SHH.

[@Gamer-kn7fi]

@@OCRacing Such a video would be great! Cant wait for it. Do you have a general idear of how long it probably will take until the release of the video?

[@Snijkamp]

I would get the SHH instead (i did 😉) Nicer looking, quieter and also a very good sequential shifter

[@HK-fw8hk]

@@OCRacing can you give any update on when this video could release, as i want to buy a new shifter as well and would really like to watch the compairison first

[@adriancuevas1587]

Dont recall if you have done a review on the SHH shifter. Its a h pattern and sequential shifter on one similar to the fanatec shifter. It cost about 140 us dollars shipped. Cones out of spain and has a bit of a wait list. If youre on a budget its definitely one of the best out there. It has a 3d printed exterior but the overall quality is their. Have had it for over a year and has worked great

[@OCRacing]

Glad to hear it’s been working great for you! I have one myself and enjoy it quite a bit. Here’s my review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGLKkIeLl6Z_jKM Planning on making a big video soon where I compare all of the shifters I own to one another. Stay tuned 👀

[@XXXXHP]

I ordered mine in July and I can’t wait for it to get here because I haven’t been able to drive any manual cars properly since I got rid of my G27 with the H shifter!!

[@RagingNova]

hi ive got one today and tried to play assetto corsa and gears 1-6 work fine but the reverse gear cant be mapped because the computer recognises the shifter as a gamepad and the reverse is assigned as RT. any ideas how i can switch assigning it or fixing it?

[@yorgle11]

Well that's annoying. If I buy this I'll be using it for AC also. You might need to use Joy2Key as a workaround. It can pick up the controller inputs and relay a keyboard button to the game. A good way to test your Joy2Key setup is by trying to "type" with your controller in a text editor like notepad. Once you know that's working then set up those same keys in the game. I wonder if there's a way to switch the shifter into DirectInput mode instead of XInput. I think DirectInput is more flexible, but not all games support that mode and I don't know if it would help in the case of AC.

[@RagingNova]

@@yorgle11 na I fixed it my cm doesn't work as the install one but I added it to steam library and that's what caused the problem because I was on steam it registered as a controller because I had that setting on. If ur cm won't work properly with ur wheel and shifter from normal launch, add it to steam library and disable controller support in steam settings and everything including the shifter will work

Can confirm its a great shifter. It has held up well and that noise is audible but isn't terrible. I find it very satisfying actually.

[@OCRacing]

I found it to be very satisfying as well lol

[@jamirvillarosa7924]

you can actually mod it to reduce the noise significantly.

[@yahyasouss]

Question does anyone have a mclaren gt fanatec V2 wheel if yes does your wheel have the fanatec logo on top mine doesn't sadly I had to use a sticker but I saw one of OC racings videos and it seems like the fanatec logo is stuck on the wheel with out a sticker since you could clearly still see the carbon fiber plastic aroud it. Just curious to know.

[@OCRacing]

It’s a sticker! You peel off the plastic film on the top and it leaves only the letters

[@yahyasouss]

@@OCRacing Thanks man I was wondering what that weird white fanatec letters were for. Love the high quality vids keep it up : )

[@11tockdubois]

In my mind, the only problem with these cheap shifters is that the buttons are connected with a usb encoder (maybe only on mine that comes from AliExpress). So since I built my own DIY handbrake with a similar usb encoder (supporting 12 buttons and some joysticks), my computer detects my shifter with the name "usb controller" but also my handbrake with exactly the same name... So if I connect my handbrake button on the wrong input, I brake and the 6th gear is engaged at the same time... So I lost 8 inputs on my 2nd usb encoder and I can't make the button box I originally wanted.

[@Qronous]

It would be nice to see a rubber gasket around the shifter guide

[@kOticVALO]
