Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter, H-Pattern & Sequential Add-On - PS5, XBOX & PC

The TH8A is a huge upgrade over a standard shifter. It feels solid, shifts smoothly, and the all-metal construction gives it a very realistic feel. Installation was easy, and it's been a great addition to my racing setup.

I waited forever before deciding myself to by this Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On gearbox shifter for PC. The main reason was that the price has been variating quite a lot with a minimum observed around $150. The second reason was that I was enjoying the pads shifters on my wheel and I was satisfied with it. Eventually, after getting the Sparco Handbrake, getting the manual shifter became logical too... Both are attaching to the Thrustmaster clamp which I also bought. I had to pay more than the base price but I am glad that I did because now the item is only available by other sellers and for a ridiculous price (over $200) So now I have the Thrustmaster TS-PC racer with the Ferrari GTE-F458 wheel as an add-On, the TH8A gearbox shifter, the Sparco Handbrake and the T3PA Pro pedals. I understand that it is medium range in term of quality (when compared to direct drive wheels and load cells pedals) but it makes for a wonderful immersion. As for the Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter, I find it, like all other Thrustmaster equipment, expensive but also of a great manufacture quality. Experience wise, it works as well as an H shifter or sequential. The swap from one to the other requires a screwdriver and a little bit of work but I do not expect anyone to change frequently. It is actually more than an H shifter since it has actually 8 slots (7 gears + reverse). It is very sturdy and provides a good feel as for the spring and handling. In conclusion: Yes, I greatly recommend it for a better rallye experience like Dirt Rallye 2 and all the games for which a manual gearbox would be preferable. It is easy to configure, compatible with all other Thrustmaster equipment but even more. 5 stars.

I currently own a Logitech G27 shifter and by far the build quality of the Thrustmaster TH8A is miles high compared to the Logitech. Having the ability to switch to sequential shifting is a huge plus. The shifting gates give solid feedback when you shift giving a solid mechanical thunk when the gear is selected. That is something that the Logitech lacked. I did like the additional buttons and hat switch on the G27 but is not a deal breaker considering the quality difference and feel. The only downside, if you can call it that, is this price which is higher than the competition. However, after seeing them next to one another and actually using both I'm more than happy to spend a few extra dollars for a shifter that should last a very long time and give me flexibility to shift using an H pattern or sequential. The second complaint I have is that Amazon decided to ship this item by slapping a shipping label directly on the box, the retail packaging box, and stick it on my doorstep. Anyone can see what it is as they walk past my door and it is a big siren that wails "Steal me!" I can understand they want to lower the amount of materials used to ship an item but that is just asking for package theft to go through the roof which will only cost them more in replacements that just using a box in the first place. I understand that a package thief will steal no matter what but openly advertising what something is might just make someone tip over the edge knowing what it is rather than what it might be. Please Amazon use common sense on this new money savings tactic. Maybe use correctly sized boxes and less packing material and leave the security in place of discretely hiding the product from open eyes.

One one of the best budget h-shifter

built like a rock, heavy and durable

I have this shifter mounted to my Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 after upgrading from the Logitech Shifter. While it was easier to miss gears on the Logitech, the TH8A from Thustmaster doesn't feel as realistic. I liked that the Logitech had the press down and shift for Reverse feature. The Thrustmaster TH8A has 7 positions and a reverse. I do like that the gear shifter knob is interchangeable with actual shifter knobs from cars. The gears are fairly accurate and rarely miss. The sequential shifter mod seems like an odd thing to offer with shifter with a cheap plastic plate that replaces the cover after some adjusting; I feel like this could have been implemented better. The main reasons I upgraded to this shifter from the Logitech one is that the Logitech needed an adapter to work on its own; where as the Thrustmaster comes with a cable adapter for USB. The construction is very solid and like I mentioned, it's actually hard to miss gears. If realism is what you're looking for, I don't get a realistic vibe from using this shifter. Also, I haven't found a use for the 7th gear yet in iRacing. Overall, it's a well contructed H-Pattern shifter; I wouldn't recommend it for the Sequential Shifter plate that it comes with. It mounted well to my wheel stand and seems very durable.

Got this to play Assetto Corsa and have had a great time with it. Super sturdy feeling, lots of metal on this product and it feels amazing going through the gears whether in a race or just cruising on No Hesi type tracks. This just feels like a shifter that will last a while.

Great add-on to the Thrustmaster TX wheel for the Xbox ONE. I had mine set-up within a hour, including drilling new holes in my sim setup and installing the shifter. If you have already upgraded your TX Wheel to V47 of the firmware, you are good to go, just plug this into the wheel and race. I started up Forza 5 thinking I had to find where to make some changes for this to work but right off the bat it worked as advertised. Shifter itself is of nice construction, mostly metal with little plastic. As I did not use the clamp system, I cannot vouch for that, I hard mounted mine with the metric screws (not included) it calls for. Shifting action is nice and firm, no great pressure is needed to shift. Shifting feels natural as you get used to it, only issue is with the small throw and so many gates (8) that it happens you end up in R instead of 6 or 2nd instead of 4th on a downshift, etc. Just takes some getting used to. Only drawback for me is cord length. For my rig it needs to go to pedal area and then up to the wheel. Just wasn't long enough to make it all the way to be tie wrapped nice and neat, had to leave some hanging to make the run.

Ich nutze den Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter in Kombination mit meiner Moza R3 Wheelbase (am PC als eigenständiges USB-Gerät). Da mir die originalen Schalthebel von Moza schlichtweg zu teuer waren, habe ich mich für den TH8A entschieden – und die Entscheidung absolut nicht bereut. Die Verarbeitung ist dank des vielen Metalls extrem robust und das Schaltgefühl im H-Muster fühlt sich super knackig und wertig an. Er wird sofort erkannt, funktioniert einwandfrei und tut genau das, was er soll. Wer nicht unnötig viel Geld für andere Marken-Shifter ausgeben will, bekommt hier eine erstklassige Lösung. Klare Kaufempfehlung! Eine eigene, übersichtliche Steuerungs-Software wäre zwar noch cool gewesen – falls es dafür bereits eine gibt, habe ich sie zumindest bisher nicht genutzt oder gefunden, aber er funktioniert auch so direkt Super .

しっかり感あってとても良い。シーケンシャルにもなるし、4速をバンドブーレーキに設定してハンドブレーキにもなる。正規品のハンドブレーキ高すぎるからね。

Shifter wykonany z wysokiej jakości materiałów, z możliwością zmiany trybu na sekwencyjny i przykręcenia do blatu lub stojaka na kierownicę. U mnie pracuje zamontowany do stojaka Next Level Racing NLR-S023. Przymierzałem się pierwotnie do zakupu TH8S, ale finalnie zdecydowałem się na TH8A ze względu na wykonanie wnętrza. Konstrukcja TH8A wydaje się być zdecydowanie trwalsza i powinna działać bez zarzutu dłużej niż tańsza wersja. Nawiasem mówiąc, nie spodziewałem się, że dokupienie drążka będzie takim gamechangerem. Wydawało mi się, że drążek to zbędny bajer, ale gra mi się zdecydowanie przyjemniej z nim niż bez niego, nawet jeśli ścigam się stosunkowo wolnymi samochodami, to odczucia z jazdy są przyjemniejsze.

Es el mejoe shifter de entrada, sensación muy realista y muy buena calidad

أنصح به بشدة لهواة الناقل اليدوي سواء في ألعاب المحاكاة أو السباقات وقد تم شراؤه في فترة تخفيضات بسعر 615 ريال ولا أنصح بشراءه بأعلى من هذا السعر بالرغم من الجودة العالية للمنتج والشعور المميز والرائع جدا في متعة القيادة على الألعاب.
