love the fact this thing has both the connector for the wheel and usb unlike the Logitech one

Fun fact. If you have a ps3, GT 5 and as T500rs. you can use the shifter via USB-C by connecting to another USB port and then game recognise it and you can use all of the gears.

Thanks for taking it apart. I read some comments online from people being under the impression that it has the same (metal) internals as the TH8A - totally unrealistic for 2/5 of the price. This is a good video to link to if I ever come across that misconception again.

Just for this in today. I attached to my base but didn’t play yet. Of course I fiddled with it a little though and it feels really good. Can’t wait to actually try it out

Useful to see it being disassembled as i wondered if the 3DRap mod could be added to provide more resistance, i guess not with the plastic internals. Accurate review, I bought this shifter for occasional use in GT7, it fits the bill perfectly as it was hard to justify the additional expense of T8HA. It's generally faster to use the paddles but its fun to use the clutch sometimes and adds an extra level of realism and immersion especially when playing in VR.

I got this recently works great for me on xbox ..

Can you add a truck shifter on it too? because so far I've only seen truck shifter add ons compatible with the normal th8 but not mentioning the th8s. Thanks in advance

It would be really interesting if it had a normal attachment to the cockpit.

I personally use the shifter that you reviewed, and I don't regret buying it, but it's pretty unreliable. I have already changed one, and now I would prefer something on the Hall sensor

For example, this shifter goes on any steering wheel, I don't have loghitec or thurmaster

Good video, i have a Logitech Wheel without shifter, I was considering buy a Chinese shifter, but my brother did buy on and I find it is to much clunky, did no like the feel, this Thrustmaster seems far better and since is connected direct to the PC is good for upgrades, Its a shame they don't this for their pedals and try to scam you to buy another adapter to connect to the PC.

It's possible to take out the red ring plastic for a paint job ?

Which of the amazon/aliexpress shifters would you consider to be a better alternative to the TH8S?

you reckon i’d be able to get a different shift knob on there mate? love your videos by the way i’m gonna sub

I was wondering if you know if the red outline can be separated from the shifter itself. My plan is to spray paint it to match the color of the shifter

can you remove the disc on the top of the clamp?

Woukd you know the thread on the knob? Is it m8?

Do you know the thread size and length for the screw that holds in the shift knob?

Does it work with the trustmaster tmx on Xbox?

Hello, could you tell me please which option is best for you: 1-aliexpress 90€ H sifter 2- TM TH8a user at 100€ Thanks

Was wondering if you’ve tried the PXN A7 shifter? It has USB, RJ11, and the DIN connector for use with the Thrustmaster Wheels on consoles and is $10 bucks cheaper than the TH8S. Thanks! And I appreciate any info you may have to share on the topic. 👊

I think good choice who start to use gear shifter or need chip and good performance shifter

I'm just waiting on a T248 and a TH8S to play on PC but you're saying the DIN cable won't work? I must connect it through USB-C? I would've thought the wheel could pass it as a different device, hmmm :(

Can you rotate the internals by 180 degrees so it’s facing the other way? To mount it comfortable I need to mount it so what would’ve been 1st gear is reverse.

for steering wheel from Xbox will it fit?

i have a little question, but my comment will probably not get noticed. does tightening or loosening it too much/too often break it?

Is there a way to mount it with screws instead of that clamp? Thanks

Love the channel!

Does it have hard mount option for rigs? Or is it just the hand screw?

Can the door to switch from pc to ps5 can be removed? I would like to have both connected all the time and not have to unplug and plug every time.

Does it work on pxn v10

still a bit expensive but better than the last one (in price)

what screw driver are you using to remove the knob

Is it work with Logitech G29?

Does this work on PXN V9? Please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Is the TH8A also compatible with Xbox X ?

i know i alredy asked this but WHAT will happen if you plug usb into xbox

Can't be hard mounted?

Can I use this shifter with Thrustmaster TMX?

To me, nothing really excited me. The design is clean, and i can see the appeal to some gamers. Just not for me.

what game is that ?

seems quite flimsy for the price
