7. Thrustmaster TH8A circuit
If you are fully immersed in car simulations on consoles and PCs, feeling and quality are paramount. Thrustmaster has developed the mechanical gear shifter TH8A to meet the needs of drivers in all categories. When it comes to simulation equipment, choosing a solid setup that can support hundreds of thousands of shifts is crucial. The TH8A addresses these concerns by offering a 100% metallic internal mechanism. The central sensor that transmits your gear changes is magnetic, making it wear-resistant as it eliminates the friction that often occurs. The H.E.A.R.T. technology (HallEffect Accurate Technology), combined with the absence of a switch or potentiometer, ensures immediate transmission of your information and realistic sensations during gear shifts. Additionally, a sequential gate (+/-) and an H-pattern gate (7 gears + reverse) provide the option to choose your preferred shifting style. Compatible with all PC games that support an external gearbox, this TH8A shifter is also compatible with Thrustmaster PS4 T300, T500, and T150 steering wheels, as well as the Xbox One TX Racing Wheel. Use the USB connection or the DIN socket to connect it to your devices and get started right away. Its all-metal construction is also designed for customization, allowing the use of all universal knobs found in modern cars. Positionable as desired, the gates and mounting feature a 360° adjustable system to provide you with maximum comfort. You can also use it with any cockpit and experience the same sensations as a professional driver.
