The NEW 7th gen SHH 'THORN' Shifter [UNBOXING] H-Pattern/Sequential shifter goodness!

[@kevin_m]

Newt2 owner who has abused it for two years. I have had ZERO issues and can highly recommend SHH. Fully expect the Thorn would perform just as well. Thanks for the look at this update version!

[@Shieldsz]

Same here

[@StoneHillRally]

Considering this one how loud is it will it wake up everybody? :)

[@kevin_m]

@@StoneHillRally wife has fallen asleep in the same room while I’m bashing through the gears. So it’s not terribly loud, but louder than the logi shifter for example.

[@StoneHillRally]

@@kevin_m thanks mate will definitely be getting one by the end of this month I use it only in sequential mode.

[@FuZioN1]

Best shifter without a doubt. As a owner I can say it’s not only the best bang for your buck but also very solid compared to much more expensive shifters

[@giuseppelongo87]

I have the old model of the Shh Shifter, and I've used it a lot over the past 5 years (over 1000hrs). It's still in perfect condition, both mechanically and aesthetically! Definitely better than the Thrustmaster TH8!

[@Shieldsz]

Interested about the fact that you can adjust the tension for sequential and h-pattern seperately. Can you do a demonstration of how stiff you can make the H-Pattern while keeping the Sequential at a reasonable tension? My issue with the older SHH Newt 2 shifter was that since they shared the same tensioning screws, sequential would be way too tight if the h-pattern was properly tensioned.

[@GregoryShtevensh]

Yes! Been looking forwards to this one guys

[@Litl_Skitl]

Loved using the Newt for the past couple years I've had it. Only issue I did have is that the thread on the knob stripped out at some point, and I didn't really like the rubber sleeve. I've designed and printed my own knob like a year ago out of just bare PLA, and I've loved the thing ever since. Really solid and more immersive.

[@Maltinis]

Nice. Imo only downside is that there is no boundary or w/e i should call it for reverse. But changing to sequential is by far the easiest i seen

[@shhsimulation]

The 6R top plate or the 7R type2 plates have a different pattern than the previous versions, so the R gear is not easy to engage and almost impossible by mistake. We have thought and tried to improve these kinds of old problems. You can check them in our website.

@@shhsimulation glad to see a company supporting their product in the comments like this! Good work SHH! My THORN should be arriving in the next day or so and I’m super excited to give it a try.

[@JubbLaRacing]

I ordered this, seems much better than my Aliexpress shifter and Thrustmaster Th8a!

[@joeyg369]

@@JubbLaRacing how did it compare vs ali express?

[@JubbLaRacing]

@joeyg369 Feels much better, i dont miss shift as much and it is really quiet compared to Aliexpress shifter. I highly recommend this shifter! But i recommend buying a new shift knob.

[@cfc3972]

hopefully will get one in august , will fit my prime lite rig perfectly

[@xavestudio4623]

i wonder if i can change the adaptor of the knob to put truck sim knob

[@7MBoosted]

I ordered a new corner mount for my newt2 and some of the rubber coated knobs cause i still have the old 3d printed ones. I hope it was worth it.

[@sick7587]

would you recommend this over the moza hpattern shifter

[@andysonofbob2599]

It looks like there's a second hole for the usb. Would it be possible to see if you can swap the side of the usb as that would fit my cheap old rig better. Thanks!

[@SimRacingCorner]

I see what you mean, but that's not an accessible/removable piece. It's a slightly raised section on the printed body. It doesn't appear to have a purpose.

[@andysonofbob2599]

@@SimRacingCorner hey dude. Thanks for replying. I just emailed SHH and they replied with a video showing how to swap sides. It looks a teeny bit fiddly but only requires standard Allen keys. I'll let you know how I get on.

[@SimRacingCorner]

@@andysonofbob2599Cool, fair enough. Thanks for letting me know.

[@claudiobaseggio406]

Does it feels like it has like ball bearing to simulate gear selection while in sequential mode? Or is it smooth?

[@SimRacingCorner]

The sequential has tactile. I do demonstrate this in the video.

[@claudiobaseggio406]

@@SimRacingCorner i must have missed it! Thank you

[@Pioto1904]

How does this shifter compare to the simjack shifter? Which one to choose?

[@SimRacingCorner]

It should depend on if you want the sequential mode. If it matters not, go with the SimJack.

[@TheJelf10]

Just purchased a second hand newt and only came with the L bracket. Want to sell the th8a adapter?

[@x-ray8539]

Can 3D printing cause a broken chassis?

[@7MBoosted]

Have you used the newt2? What are the tactile differences between the newt2 and the thorn?

[@SimRacingCorner]

This is the first SHH I've picked up.

[@martijnp4313]

How does this feel compared to the Ali/eBay/Amazon shifter? I have one of those and it's serving me well, but I'm curious if this one's worth upgrading.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Not entirely dissimilar feel. The SHH is half as loud, though.

[@martijnp4313]

@@SimRacingCorner Thanks for the reply! No reason to upgrade then.

[@lukaskliment9646]

​@@SimRacingCornerHow does it compare to Fanatec in sq mode?

[@xCUSEMEKx]

I heard a lot of plastic-esque mechanical noises who don't sound that they feel mechanical and not toy-ish. I'm looking to get rid of my Moza hgp shifter because the magnets seem weak and don't register stick positions well without twitching to neutral every couple seconds. In EA WRC not much of an issue, but RBR it's an instant gearbox/engine failure. Basically does this shifter feel as good and tactile? Would save me the pain of buying the moza sequential too.(out the box hgp was incredible. Thought the sturdy metal build would actually be functional for years, within a month I was wrong.)

[@SimRacingCorner]

Try rerunning the calibration setup in the Moza software. That might fix it for you.

[@xCUSEMEKx]

@@SimRacingCorner I run it for 20 minutes over and over until the shifter is somewhat stable. Anyways, does this shifter feel good/realistic? Meaning, not light, sturdy, and mechanical satisfying shifts.

[@SimRacingCorner]

@@xCUSEMEKx It's not as strong as the Moza. And I do prefer the feel of the Moza. But I'm not disappointed, the SHH tactile is pretty decent. In fact, I would say the SHH feel is more like a real car gearbox, than the Moza. The Moza exaggerates the sensation.

[@xCUSEMEKx]

@@SimRacingCorner I'll take your word for it. As long as the stick doesn't go loosey goosey and it feels like it won't break My Moza hgp after 2 months barely is just like a broken Habibi gearbox the stick just so loose

[@SimRacingCorner]

@xCUSEMEKx By the sounds of it, yours has developed a fault, that doesn't sound normal at all. Maybe RMA it. Or even open it up and check to see if something is loose that can be tightened. It's easy to open up.

[@idontknowyou876]

Looks too good to be true at the price...can someone tell me to shut up and buy it please?

[@FordEntertainmentGroupFEG]

Theres too many low cost options that are significantly better. This used to be the goto, but that time has passed. Just my opinion.

[@joanesteveigarcia]

Could you say a better alternative to this one for more or less the same price?

[@geffgorg9600]

such as?

[@FordEntertainmentGroupFEG]

@@geffgorg9600 sim jack sequential shifter. Sim jack h pattern shifter.

[@evangel1460]

@@FordEntertainmentGroupFEGSo 2 pieces of kit vs one?

[@lukaskliment9646]

@FordEntertainmentGroupFEG Having two shifters is not ideal, especially in VR and if you also use handbrake. And my aliexpress H pattern and handbrake both stopped working after 1-2 years (it was not Simjack btw). So for me SSH is very good option, since it is 2 times cheaper than Fanatec, sequential mode seems better and it has special button inputs for sequential, which is great for some games.
