Oh boy this is a beauty, this in my mind is the perfect shifter – but the price, I can’t look at the price!! I really like the way it sounds and it seems like it has good resistance. Love the looks of it with the display and switches… It is fantastic. Significantly better then the other sequential shifter I had used. The feel is very “mechanical” and the forces needed are rather high, just as I wanted. I have not yet played around with adjusting force. I have temporarily mounted to my rig in the picture below and hope to get the parts needed next week for the actual mount I intend on using. The next thing I did was play around with the force adjustments. I thought it was heavy when I first hooked it up, but that was only about the middle. There was the ability to make it lighter and even heavier. In the lightest setting I was able to move it with my index finger. In the heaviest setting pulling it with one finger is just about not possible. I have something at my work that I am going to bring home to try and measure the pull weight. Even in the lightest setting, the “shifts” were very defined and crisp. I have it on the heaviest setting. There is no play, just very, very solid shifts. The only shifts I have missed are because I didn’t pull hard enough.

Why are there so many sequential-only shifters as compared to H-patterns?

Most “Sim Drivers” use H-Pattern more frequently in my racing sims, but it’s also much more complex and as such would have a lot for improvement in higher-end products (where as sequential shifters are not a lot more than buttons that spring back). I really don’t get it, there’s basically hardly any other option other than the Fanatec regarding H-Patterns.
