I now have two of these, one I keep in H gate mode and the other in sequential mode. I can only say that they add immeasurable to any driving sim, and the ability to tailor shift change lenght etc., and then store that in the shifter itself is a great feature. On Windows 10 64 bit, it was recognised immediately and set up was as painless as plugging in, waiting a minute or two whilst Windows did it's thing and then using. Euro Truck Sim, American Truck Sim, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally and WRX all recognise the shifter without any problems. I did use on in hand brake mode and that works well, but I thought it was a bit of a waste so bought a Fanatec handbrake and reverted the shifter to sequential. In contrast the Fanatec was a pain to set up as nowhere in the instructions do they indicate that you need drivers for it!!! No so the Thrustmaster TH8A as I said, plug in and away you go. If you are wondering whether to get one, then my advice would be a big fat YES, it is very well made, beautifully put together and works perfectly.....go for it.Read full review

The TH8A shifter from Thrustmaster is my first upgrade to my sim racing setup. It is a very solid piece of kit made from metal with a plastic outer shell. Overall it feels very premium, especially compared to the plastic and leather G27 shifter I am used to. The shifter features 7 forward gears and 1 reverse, but is completely reprogrammable in all games (at least on PC). Each gear has a nice long throw but lacks resistance, even at it's strongest setting. This is probably due to the combination of a long shifter stick and weak internal resistance. All in all it is a brilliant shifter, with it's only downfall being the lack of resistance, which considering the price is far from ideal and hence why it loses one star.

Step son is very pleased with the product. Good value for money. Sequential gear shift works very well and he enjoys using it.

This item comes across as pricey when you first see it but once you get hold of this device you realise it is very well built from metal with very little plastic. And when you have it set up and use it, it proves it's worth with a very realistic feel of a solid stick movement. I would give this item 10 out of 10 and recommend it to anyone who is interested in SIM racing.

Very durable. 3 in 1: H-shifter, sequential-shifter or e-brake. Easy to modificate. Lot of information in the internet how to modificate. From my perspective it has only one disadvantage, no reverse/7-th gear lock. But again it is possible to make/modificate lock. I am very happy with this THRUSTMASTER TH8A shifter.
