How it really feels the new Simagic H-Shifter+ SQ mod 

I just want to stop by and say I've been a huge fan of your videos, the effort, information provided and the dare I say cinematic experience you provide are all loved, noticed and most of all appreciated. I had already decided to get this shifter but watched the video anyway because I enjoy your videos so much!

Really appreciate your honest reviews bro and half of my gear was purchased off your opinion and todate I have zero regrets on any of it so thank you for that again Hope 2023 is your year bro and your channel explodes. 🙏

Have to say im late to the party but another very helpful video and id like to add such things as your segment ( 0.45 - 1.25 ) is something alot of people do forget to think about when it comes to these types of videos and it's good for some people to be reminded of the work that goes into it all. Your work is appreciated mate. Best of luck to you 🤝

Quality content and review as always. I too always come to yourself for your honesty. Your passion is infectious. Wishing growth and prosperity with this channel.

Without looking closer at the handbrake mechanism myself, it may be possible to stack some washers or something to limit the minimum engagement and adjust the software dead zone so you still get the proper feel at the end of the throw

You are a real human being. Thanks for your honesty, unbiased , and in-depth reviews. RBM is my go to for all my sim products. Continue to keep it 100 with the rock solid content!!!

As someone who has money shifted twice, a shifter was necessary for me. I really needed to practice slowing my shifting down. Seriously thank you for the reviews, I expected a lot of Simagic, and even still their gear was above my expectation.

Thank for the comparison with the Fanatec shifter!

Thanks for your insights, Chepi! 👍 I totally agree, some cars feel off when shifting with wheel paddles. One day I’ll get me a round wheel and shifter plus hand brake. 😊 have a great week, mate! 👊

Good morning RBM - just a big thank you for another great informative video - I / we really do appreciate the time & commitment that you put into all of your work - before I upgrade to any new equipment you are the first driver I chack out - as of date I have never been let down, I upgraded from Fanatec DD1 to SC 2 pro & from the V3i's to the amazing imsim Talento pedal set both upgrades were so worth it. you are legend brother keep up the great work.

Hey brother. Hope you had a great holiday season and a good New Year’s Eve. I literally ordered the shifter 2 days ago. 😂was looking for any good review and now you released the video. Thanks bro and a successful 2023 for you. Btw was great to meet you at the expo. Hope you had a great rest day shooting and could enjoy the Sunday at least. 👍 Much love and health to you.

Как же приятно смотреть ваши обзоры

Thanks for the info. The sharpness and lightness of the handbrake looks better than my Heusinkveld v2 although i haven't set any curves with mine. I bought the Q1 shifter a year ago primarily on your review. It is a beast. Really good and quiet when you want it to be. I am against H+Sq combined shifters purely on principle. I bolted my Frex shifter straight onto 8040 side rail, alone onto my right side and by heck, the difference that makes to driving vehicles, especially with clutch is something else. Heavy clunky shifters are the way to go for upgrade. Simagic supply a spare ball with their Q1, likely the same here. Your work, fun exploits are appreciated. Keep 'er between the hedges.

Great video and love the descriptive breakdown! On another note... what filter are you using ? I am assuming you're using AC with CM or is that Automobilista 2 ?

Really like your content. Your voice is very pleasant to listen to as well !

I see the 7/8th gear lockout more so it can be configured with reverse on either side, depending on usecase. It's much more common to have reverse on different sides than having a 7th manual gear.

Fantastic video.

I'm just a beginner in racing and I really love watching your video. And I am planning to purchase my first sim rig and I need your help what sim rig to start on for an entry level. Really love the sequential shifter and I don't feel to have an H shifter. What sequential shifter will you recommend for an entry level low budget?

THE BESTTT. Thank you for comparing it to the Fanatec one. THANK YOU MY BAVARIAN BOSS!!!

Great review!

Great video as always. Maybe in the future can review the small sq simagic shifter. Keep on the good work.

Man I love your videos.

The TB1 handbrake seems worth buying to me. I wouldn't mind the long movement on the handbrake personally. I think i would rather go with a dedicated sequential shifter and keep my TH8A for the few H shifter cars.

I use the Sim H Pattern / Sequentieller Shifter - Black Edition and the Sim Handbrake - Schwarze Edition from MME Motorsport. I have used the Shifter & FlyOff Fanatec hardware for years. Compared to Fanatec, the MME simracing hardware is another world. MME Motorsport develops and manufactures real motorsport gearboxes including electronics and you can see that in their simracing hardware. Maybe you can organise a comparison test of the MME hardware, your impressions would be very interesting. Best regards from Tyrol/Austria

I do believe that your simracing reviews are THE BEST out there! you're so calm It soothes me! And that's why I think that maybe you can help me! I have a big problem with my simagic shifter! My ds-8x is not connecting to the PC! I have everything connected to a hub, and the usb connection ain't even lighting up (the hubhas an individual light for each connection) i tried plugging directly to the pc and in different hub ports, no difference! Its like it isnt there!!! Tried different cables from the alpha mini and even tried in on another computer! the problem persists! It is getting power tho! If I peek inside I can see the green light you talk in the video! tried contactacting the reseller, but as it arrived yesterday, Saturday, I haven't received any response! I think it's driver/software related! So i'd rather fix it than have sent to warranty and the new one coming in exactly the same! Therefore, I ask for your help! How do I open it up? What bolts did you take out in order to open the top plate! Any help you can give is very much welcome!!! Thank you! Keep up the good work!!!

Love your revieuws. And especialy your passion. I see you got the simagic gtcup wheel. How is that working out for you? Any negatives?

Ciao hi morning 👍👍nice setup❤

Just ordered myself the ailogs shifter, wasn’t happy with the jinx shifter.

What knobs on the top are you using to extend the handbrake and shifter?

Really enjoy your content and was wondering what are the headphones

Hi legend, the mechanics in that shifter are similar to automotive salt tables, both in the gearboxes and in the salting mechanisms themselves, I know because I've been a mechanic for a long time, thanks for the review

Its actually so terrible that mx5 cup switched to sequential, h pattern makes sim racing so much more fun.

Good review! Hi, I'm mainly an Iracing user... and I like the concept of simulating everything. Which shifter would you recommend, DS-8X or Q1? thank you so much.

Can you please post a video on some tips for RX racing? I’m sure this would be helpful and maybe will get more iracers to race the series

Hello I am new to your channel,man what you have built there is awesome,after seeing your video I am in 2 minds the ds- 8x shifter is about 200 extra then the fantec clubsport is it worth the extra

Another great review - will you be getting your hands on the Simagic Q1S shifter?? Been looking for a good high-quality (black) sequentiel and am hoping this will be the one! :)))

Hey Steliyan. Could you please do a video on Simucube 2 safety? I saw a thread on reddit 2 months back where someone broke their hand with a SC2 pro and it would be cool if you could do a video explaining why it happened and how to stay 100% safe. Feels scary to buy a product that can suddenly maim you if you have a wrong setting somewhere. It had something to do with calibration in iRacing and starting a race with your wheel turned a few degrees and it trying to autocorrect made it go bananas

I like how it looks when you change the gears, but as long as u can miss shift ie what u call bad clutch syncronisation. No real car i have driven had worked like that what we get when we miss shift with a h-pattern stick in sims. The stick should not be allowed to travel to the gear position if the clutch is not engaged, somehow the brands that makes manual h-pattern sticks should have thought of this and prevent the gear stick to be moved to next gear when clutch in not engaged properly, some kind of timing and mechanism should prevent from doing that. Still waiting for a proper h-shifter.

great review. you saved me some money, i wanted this as an upgrade to the fanatec shifter. because - like you mentioned - the movement in the lever drives me nuts...

Awesome review I've been waiting for this one. I noticed in the Simpro software there is an option to have a sequential shifter map to the paddles of the wheel so they do the same thing. Do you know if this is possible with the DS-8X in SQ mode? I play a lot of WRC Generations and have to use a 3rd party software to accomplish this with my Aiologs shifter and Simagic Wheel.

I've got a question, which base do you prefer? The simagic Alpha mini or the moza R9? I've been looking for video's of the comparison but can't find any. By the way amazing work as always!

I am curious to know if this shifter has been compared to the VNM shifter? I would very much appreciate hearing from someone who has used them both. Thank you. 🙏🏻

in Sequential mode, how does it compare to the Q1? I've been eyeballing this shifter since release, but I would really prefer spending the extra money if necessary if it can't give me a realistic experience in both H and S mode. Like you said, H pattern is a dying breed, however it's still a blast to drive when you get the chance.

I like the sound click of simagic sq1 but its the same for DS8 ? Nice vidéo like every time 😁👌🔥

I want this shifter so much...

Just wondering if the plastic ball would fit in the sequential and quiet it down a little? 🤔

Nice review. Ive sold my vnm shifter after trying this shifter in my local store. Waiting for the arrival 1 more week. Meantime I find the throw to be Abit long. Do u know what's the thread size for knob? I'm looking around for knob before this shifter arrive. Or if my existing car knob able to fit.

I see the shifter is pre-order everything now. What North American store could you recommend to buy from? I haven't dealt with any online and want to order from somewhere reliable if you have a recommendation? Thank you!

does the SQ shifting feel any better than the fanatec.is it remotely close to simagic Q1 in feel? or about the same as you said for the h pattern?

Hi !! Nice videos man, i have only one question for you ... what seat are you using it looks very nice and comfy ? Is it ?

Too bad they didn't make an e-clutch for it, especially for the price

Seriously looking at one of these to replace my Fanatec SQ shifter due to the chronic, unfixable random gear selection bug, which can pop up any time, like the middle of a race.

is this guy using a real cockpit as simrig? he looks like he's really inside a car. Well done.

Привет. Как всегда, отличная работа 😁👍

5:25 this clicky noise prevents me from buying this shifter

great video i was wondering if you can help me with my simpro manager alpha mini setting for assetto corsa competizione

Sorry for the dumb question but: why do you wear seat belt on a static rig?

Hope you well bro 🥃

Hi, Do you use a clutch when you use a sequential shifter??

Hmm well fanatec or this one. Fanatec is about 100 euro cheaper, not sure if its worth it.

Does Fanatec even exist at this point?

You have a problem, I'd like to make a suggestion. You give reviews from racing perspective, can you add a bit of impressions from the game Beamng, as it is what brings me to your channel. Not interested in crashing,more so drifting and racing

I could be wrong but it really looks like the throw on that shifter is to long. It reminds me of a shifter in a truck more than any type of race/sports car.

How is it going

Thank you

I wonder when you start to actually rank products, rather than just label them as good or very good. I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that Simagic is most likely better than Moza and Fanatec.

Bro you look like a madman, murderer russian mafia killer, john wick enemy

Hey man, I hope you will be able to make enough money out of your channel and quit your job , so you dont have to make the reveiws and videos no longer in your spare free time.

Im excited for my Alpha Ultimate. Would you consider replacing the Sc2 for it? 😅

How about helping me out and sending me a spare DD base I don't get out much in the real world due to being a full time carer for my mother, no social life i need an outlet to relax
