The TH8A is a metal sim racing shifter that stands out for its solid feel, H pattern seven speed plus reverse layout, and ability to switch into sequential mode. It connects directly to Thrustmaster wheelbases with the included cable, works on PC as its own joystick, and can be used across PlayStation and Xbox setups with Drivehub. The stiffness can be adjusted, and the housing can rotate for different mounting positions. The main caveat is compatibility, since Logitech wheels do not reliably work and console cross brand use usually needs Drivehub.

  • The shifter can work on PS5 and Series S/X using a Drivehub, and it can also connect directly to compatible Thrustmaster wheelbases.

  • The TH8A shifter supports both H-pattern 7-speed plus reverse and sequential shifting modes.

  • The shifter's stiffness can be adjusted out of the box by turning the side flathead screw clockwise.

  • The housing can rotate 360 degrees by loosening four screws, which helps fit different rig mounting positions.

  • Console compatibility with non-matching manufacturers may require a Drivehub, which adds extra cost.

  • The TH8A does not reliably work with Logitech wheels due to input, firmware, or driver mapping mismatches.

  • Some console games only support digital handbrake input, so the shifter may still send an X button instead of analog.

Does anyone know if it works with PS5/Xbox one s/x?

This is a FANTASTIC sim racing shifter! I've never seen it this cheap before and it even undercuts used prices. It will also work on PS5 and Series S/X using Drivehub as that's how I use it. It is not only an H-pattern 7 speed + reverse but can also be used in sequential mode. The stiffness of the shifter needs to be adjusted out of the box by turning a very stiff flathead screen on the side which can be reached through a hole. Turn it clockwise. You'll think it's already tight - but it is not as it presses firmly against the detent. This makes a HUGE difference in how the shifter feels and most people never adjust it so think the shifter is a little "loose" feeling. For mounting you can loosen the 4 shift plate screws and rotate the housing 360 degrees so it will mount to your rig in many different positions until the shift throw is comfortable to you. 5 star shifter!

Is this the same as the other TH8A listing? I notice this one advertises PS3/4, Xbox One, PC, not the usual modern consoles. Fantastic deal if it's just the same product under another URL.

Yes, it is the same! Only two versions exist: This one and the cheaper plastic TH8S. Don't buy that one.

Does anyone know if you can pair this to a logitech wheel ?
It will work with any wheelbase using Drivehub. That's how I use it on PS5 & Series X. It also works all the way down to PS4, PS3 (Gran Turismo 5 & 6 only) and Xbox One this way.

Yes, it does when connected directly to the Thrustmaster wheelbase via the included cable. OR you can use the Drivehub and connect it via USB. It comes with both cables. Note: If your wheelbase is too old for PS5/Xbox you must use Drivehub, then everything works! I love my Drivehub. It's the best sim racing product on the planet.

I had been waiting on this alert for so long, I had already bought one. I just bought a 2nd one because this is an insanely cheap price. I read that you can set one to be a shifter and the other to be a handbrake, so that's my plan.

BTW, this CAN also be used as an analog handbrake on both PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series I've tested it. You will need to change the shift plate to sequential and then put it into analog mode via USB Thrustmaster app on PC which it saves into NVRAM on shifter, then connect it back to a Drivehub.
Some games on console only support digital and the handbrake will still send "X" button, but it Forza Horizon 5 it is analog which makes drifting very easy!

In for 1 finally, currently have the TH8S but it's all plastic, which doesn't have the weight for good shifts, too many missed shifts. TH8A also has the sequential shift plate, which will be great for rally games. Should work great with both my T150 (PS4/5) and TMX (Xbox X) wheels. Thanks OP!!!
Same! My little nephew uses it now for some truck driving sim game on the xbox but it feels so cheap and like a toy. Don't get me wrong, it works and I like it but it doesnt feel well made. I saw somewhere where a guy added some weights and a different shifter knob on it to make it feel realistic and I was going to mod mine like that but now that I ordered TH8A, I'll just let it be and use this one. Will probably giver the S to my nephew since he liked it so much.
