Here we go lol. I love my shifters. I can give you some insight on the 2 shifters I own. Like you, I have a Logitech Pro wheel and pedals along with Drivehub as well. Drivehub for the win!! Best purchase ever for the pro wheel, glad I found it so soon after buying the wheel. Wow what a difference! I’m guessing the “powers at be” may not love it, but I’m so grateful I now have full NM use of the wheel and shifter options. Thankyou Drivehub, works flawlessly every single time. When I found these pages it was
@Yes No posts about it that made me scoop one. Thanks!
For the first shifter I went with the VNM h pattern/sequential combo. Plug and play with Drivehub, the Drivehub little digit screen also recognizes it by name on startup. It’s a great shifter, very precise and well built all aluminum. Shift silky smooth and fast, you can set more tension which is important. However, setting too much tension it starts to creak with every shift. But that’s the resistance level I wanted, the creaking becomes annoying after awhile and you end up turning it down a touch. Then it feels so light, less realistic for me. It’s very very smooth. It is a good shifter. So as D*****y as this sounds, after a week of use I mounted it on the left side of my rig for RH cars. Was actually a Great decision. And now NSX GT500 just came out, I set up the sequential plate for the first time and that is kick ass. Fully adjustable 4 ways, great resistance and return, I have it set heavy and snappy. It comes with the sequential style shift knob. This is mode where the VNM shines for me and I just recently realized it. The NSX is so fun much with it
I took the plunge and went with Frex Hshift+ a week after the first one in search of a more mechanical feel. Mounted for LH. Not a ton of info on the site to reassure you, industrial design, core components are seemingly simple by a YouTube breakdown video I saw. But they have been around forever. I want sure. This shifter is incredible. Drivehub plug and play compatible, also recognized by name. I got the long shaft, heavy spring carbon wrap case. I just couldn’t be happier with it. It looks cool as hell. Super mechanical feel, nice and tight construction with their plunger design it really feels like you’re moving linkage rather than just a pivoting rod. It’s a really satisfying feeling hammering through the gears. You can pummel it. It’s so much more tactile feeling than the other shifter just hitting a gate. You can crank the resistance and it just takes it lol. First few weeks I just shifted normally. You can just feel it’s built like a tank. Now I pound the **** out it with lighting fast hard shifts every time. There are better upper tier shifters out there, but the Frex I would classify as incredibly immersive, especially for the money. If you want to, you can set it so you have to put in work, and it takes it. A really really fun shifter. I wasn’t sure when I ordered. Holy shizz am I happy that I have it. Flat rate shipping, no tracking, but they overnighted it from Japan which was cool. VR really brings it next level too, couple laps in it becomes easy to forget it is just a computer joystick. Frex Hshift+ for me is worth every penny if you want mechanical feel and fresking super rock solid construction.
Both great shifters, completely different feel. Don’t forget to set your transmission to manual in car settings for the clutch to work and miss shifts.
And it’s all possible only with Drivehub, great product at an amazing price. Changed everything for me.
