Uses Logitech's RS H-shifter with a G PRO wheel and is very happy with it.

positive

Finds the Logitech RS H-shifter not bad but not as premium as its shifter/handbrake combo, and nowhere near Simagic's DS-8X.

mixed

Since getting the RS H-shifter they keep missing downshifts, going into first instead of third; the throws are much shorter than in their real manual car. Used to it now, but it still nags them.

mixed

Uses Logitech's RS shifters on an NLR stand and finds the H-pattern shifter nice to use through gears 1–6, with the sequential smooth too.

positive

Waited years for Logitech's H-shifter and is very disappointed: it's very hard to shift, the centre springs are too stiff to find gears, and it sounds like a plastic toy. Calls it the worst shifting experience they've had, nowhere near their TH8A.

“It is not even close compared to my TH8A.”
negativenoisy

Got used to the RS H-shifter's extra spring stiffness and really likes it, only disliking the 7th gear position.

positive

Loves the Logitech shifter: with headphones on they only hear in-game sounds, and the shifting feel is great.

positive

Moved from a modded TH8A to the Logitech H-shifter and didn't mind it at all, though they mostly use paddles.

positive

Disagrees that Logitech's newer H-shifter is a toy: likes that it needs forceful, committed engagement of each gear, a big step up from the Driving Force shifter.

positive

Calls the Logitech shifter great and genuinely premium, vouching for its quality and reliability from their own use.

positivesolid build

Their Logitech H-shifter, bought in January 2026, failed after eight months; the warranty claim has been stuck for a month with no replacement stock, so they bought a Simsonn HS Pro.
