Review on Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter (Compatible with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC) by Mike Swanson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The finishing touches to an amazing setup

What I use: t300 rs servo, tx servo, vg tm leather steering wheel, t3pa pro and now th8a derailleur. Adding fun to racing simulator. Like the clutch in t3pa, I found the shifter "too hardcore" for me. Luckily I was wrong, the shifter adds a layer of immersion and common sense to racing. Surprisingly, I recovered by using the shifter instead of paddle shifters. The additional gear shift in combination with the clutch makes shifting more dynamic and fun. I don't know about realism because I don't have a comparison link, but this switch adds a lot of fun to my racing passion. I would recommend this for those who play a lot of racing sim because it is expensive and better appreciated after some "running" on the racing sim. I started with a standard TX servo and upgraded at my own pace. Each update brought huge improvements and I could appreciate the difference. This is my first manipulator and I'm surprised how easy it is to use. The build quality is just great
