Very satisfied with the Simagic DS-8X: a very satisfying H-pattern shift, with sequential mode OK but a bit long in throw.

Has run a Simagic DS-8X for a couple of years and is super happy; easy to swap modes, wonderful H-pattern feel and good-enough sequential.
Moved from a MOZA HGP to the Simagic DS-8X and finds it a lot better: set stiff in H-pattern it feels right for a manual-car driver, and sequential mode is solid though a little springy.
Replaced a loud, clunky MOZA H-shifter with the Simagic DS-8X and has been very happy since.
Tried several combined H-pattern/sequential shifters and liked the Simagic DS-8X the most, so stuck with it.
Rates Simagic's DS-8X H-shifter, which also does sequential, as top tier with a premium feel, probably the best H-shifter short of the $750+ category.
Has the DS-8X shifter and finds it really nice.
Loves their DS-8X shifter but notes it's a little pricey on a tight budget.
Has a Logitech PRO wheel and pedals but chose the Simagic DS-8X shifter and thinks it's worth the money.
Runs the DS-8X with a Logitech PRO wheel and pedals on PS5 through a Drive Hub adapter, and it works great in GT7.
Switched from a TH8S to the DS-8X and has adjusted it to feel just like their Mazda RX-8's shifter.
