It's a great shifter, has an excellent "clunk" feel... as long as it doesn't develop problems or fail. When mine was just a few months old, it began to randomly mis-shift. I discovered there was interference affecting one of the Hall sensor PCBs. The fix was easy--a few layers of electrical tape on the back of the PCB eliminated the problem. I also received the handbrake at the same time--it began to randomly trigger and cause the car to spin out without warning. Unfortunately, after years of using Fanatec products, all the RMAs and repairs, I won't be purchasing any more of their products. Their Clubsport v3 pedals are the only thing that hasn't failed me.

They've made decent pedals for a long time, I'm not a fan of the V3's although the clutch pedal is very good, for me the CSL Elite V2's are where its at. Not so pretty but still got bombproof construction and the best brake pedal without spending a lot more. My other Fanatec gear has proven reliable but I think €260 is steep, I wouldn't use the sequential shifter mode, because that's what paddles are for, and although the H pattern mode is ok it's now surpassed by Moza's excellent HGP for considerably less money.
@arcadestuff

Just wanted to add a small correction... if you can call it that. When shifting from 6th into 7th, you push the lever down, but 7th gear has it's own slot, you don't just push it up into 5th. You just cant get the stick into 7th slot without having it pushed down, but it definitely has it's own slot. If I watched this review without owning the stick, that would be a bit of a deal breaker for me because i really dislike the same slot for multiple gears. The logitech shifter does that. I've owned this shifter for a year or so, and i only drive H pattern cars so i use it a lot. It's a nice shifter. Probably the only item on my rig i don't think i could ever "upgrade". The shorter shaft from ebay is a great upgrade, it's not too expensive and it gives the gears a much shorter throw, much more of a sport feel.

I have this shifter. It feels nice but... If you plug into the wheel base, which you need to do for console, you will likely have misshifts due to Grounding issues. On PC i use the dongle and there are zero issues, but on PS5 i plug into the base, I ground the unit, I have added RFI suppressors, and I have to clean the inside of the unit with alcohol to keep it working properly.
@turtlelabs

I have found the same issues when plugged into the wheelbase. I was so frustrated with misshifts that I snapped my shift rod in half and sent the knob across the room. I welded the shaft back, and perodically take it apart to clean it so it will work for another 2 nights before glitching again. I will have to try the dongle out before I toss it in the trash.

@@rocky3035 I've bought the very first version in a total sim-racing set (Was honestly only interested in the wheelbase and the "cheap" fanatec wheel to cannibalize it in a trucking sim setup, so was planning on selling it anyhow) but I just don't feel right selling it for cheaper, knowing the problems it has (the first version uses a potentiometer type of style for left and right orientations, along with 2 microswitches with rollerblade contacts). I am thinking of trying to troubleshoot the potentiometer (since it's responsible for measuring the left-right positions) and see if reading it out on a scope says anything concerning spiking or other unreliable readouts. If that doesn't really prove anything, I'll probably check the microswitches out, maybe resolder the joints or something. It's not the accessory I'd make the biggest profit on so that also would not be the biggest financial loss, but given the "built like a tank"-look and (in weight, mostly) feel of it, it bums me that it's broken, especially when I read that all the follow-up versions are suffering the same problem.

So, I've written basically this same comment on every review I've seen about this that complains about needing to buy the dongle (so.. basically every one of them). Here's the thing, Fanatec it's a for profit business (i know 🤯, right?) so as such nothing given to the customer is free to them. So if they were to start including it 'for free' with every unit sold, it would likely be due to a msrp increase. Meaning that now all their customers that show their loyalty or love for the brand are paying for unnecessary equipment that they don't need. This would be not only wasteful but disrespectful to those spending big money on the whole ecosystem,to favor the customer buying one item? No, they're doing it *_exactly_** right!*
