Looking for H Shifter.

digitalx · Mar 11, 2021

Nearing completion of my sim rig setup. I have the Clubsport V3 pedals now and are after a H Shifter.

I was looking at the SHH Shifter or Frex GP. The price of the SHH looks great but have heard it is noisy, since I have neighbours to the side and below, noise will be an issue. Unless I can remedy that somehow?

Looking to spend preferably £300.

I can't say I've noticed excessive noise with my SHH, it is a gated H though so there will be some noise as you flick between them. For reference the magnetic paddle shifters on my wheel are much louder than the SHH

I just switched from Fanatec to Frex two days ago. The Frex is much louder, but also so, so much better feeling. I don't think the noise is loud enough to disturb neighbors. There are plenty of videos on YouTube to see it in action. One guy, R-VR Closet, bought the Frex specifically because he wanted something quieter than his Pro-Sim.

I won't ever worry about it failing either. I'd guess I've had my Frex sequential for almost 10 years with no issues.

Both are tempting now. Is it only possible to the order from Japan? Do they any re-sellers in the UK?

I just bought a SHH Newt, very nice indeed, not noticed any excess noise at all (as pointed out by an earlier poster) - but I use VR headphones so a lot of ambient noise is always drowned out.

It's amazing value for what seems to be a real quality item. Nice shifting action, feels solid and I like the 3D printed nature of the design, it makes it seem less toy-like. The quick switch between sequential and H pattern is where it really wins in my opinion, takes literally seconds.

Nothing else quite like it at this price point, plus there are no issues with customs/import charges to the UK either.

I wrote a review for the SHH shifter. I've never had an issue with the noise of the shifter. Only if you really ream on it in H mode could it really be heard through a wall.
