Players who frequently want to switch back and forth between manual and sequential mode will get used to this task quickly as it takes less than two minutes to complete. In order to convert the shifter to sequential mode, the plate needs to be replaced, a task that is completed by unscrewing four screws on top with the provided tool and putting the sequential plate on. Out of the box, the shifter comes with the 7+1 H-gate shift plate for full manual mode. Thanks to sticking to common standards, players can use third-party knobs if they don’t feel like using the metal one Thrustmaster provides with the shifter. Sticking out of the massive metal base is the 13cm tall gear stick that houses the authentic shifting knob. The TH8 RS is a large and heavy beast, giving you the feeling of actually using part of a real car instead of a computer hardware accessory. The unit is made of 90% metal and you´ll instantly realize that you´re dealing with high quality hardware when unboxing the shifter. Thrustmaster has set a new standard in terms of sheer product size and weight with the T500 RS wheel and the TH8 RS shifter is no less impressive. The adjustability dosen’t end there as the whole shifting plate is adjustable by 360 degrees and buyers have the choice to replace the shifter knob with other real-life knobs thanks to an authentic size. The unit uses Thrustmaster’s proven H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate technology that already powered the T500 RS wheel, using contact-less magnet sensors that don’t wear out and give the product a long lifetime.Īside from having the choice between using the unit as completely manual or sequential shifter, the TH8 RS is highly customizable, allowing users to tension, stroke & deadzone both via hardware adjustment and by using Thrustmaster’s extensive configuration tool. The TH8 RS Shifter is a standalone USB unit, combining both a 7+1 manual gated shifter and a sequential shifting unit. Back when Thrustmaster released their high-end T500 RS steering wheel early this year, the company announced to release an additional shifting unit later on.ġ0 months later, the company has released the TH8 RS Shifter, offering much more than just a simple addon to an existing wheel.
