What drivers keep saying · from 4 reviews

durability issues2quality control issues1solid build1

Runs their TH8A with a weighted knob and a 3D-printed mod for better feel.

mixed

Very disappointed by their TH8A; sequential is passable at best with no sensation.

negative

Mods noticeably improve their TH8A in both H-pattern and sequential.

mixed

Their new TH8A is a good shifter, but they wish they'd bought Fanatec or Simagic.

mixed

About 4 years of battering their TH8A in rally with no issues; solid and affordable.

positive

Their new TH8A died immediately and Thrustmaster support didn't help.

negativequality control issues

Their TH8A is fine and reliable but lacks the mechanical feel of real gears.

mixed

Their TH8A has held up well for 5+ years, though the sequential mode is meh without mods.

positive

Has never missed a gear with their TH8A, unlike the Logitech shifter.

positive

Their TH8A broke and they bought another one.

negativedurability issues

Unhappy with their TH8A: it's too easy to miss shifts, like 2nd to 5th.

negative

Had a TH8A and now runs an SHH, which is better with more resistance.

negative

Liked their TH8A's reliability but hated its lack of feel, so moved to a DS-8X.

mixed

Their TH8A has kind of given up, likely a connector issue.

negativedurability issues

With a feel mod, their TH8A's H-pattern beats a Fanatec SQ 1.5 back to back.

positive

Bought a TH8A and returned it immediately: throws too long and poor resistance.

negative

Has had the TH8A for years and is very happy with it: not the very best, nowhere near the worst.

positive

Has no complaints about their TH8A and, after trying Logitech's RS H-shifter, realises how good the TH8A is.
