The SHH Shifter company is currently on vacation and my order would have been shipped out by July 28th, 2022 so I did not go with SHH. The VNM and Fanatec shifters were out of my budget so I did not choose either. The USD $200 Thrustmaster TH8A and cheaper USD $50/$60 shifters did not seem like a great value so I did not choose either. As of right now, the only great choice is the Project D Shifter for about USD $120 on Banggood. Thank You for your video, you make great content!

Do you know how "early" each gear gets recognized so if it would be possible to DIY a sequential mode? If I understood correctly the other aliexpress shifter with the microswitches limits the travel in each direction so it doesn't slot in and gets pushed back to the middle.

If I take the short knob and would like to change it later, is there a thread underneath the rubber/hot glue stuff we can see at 2:40 in the video? And how is the outer thread (that looks bigger than M8?) for the short knob attached to that rubber?

I'd have to cut that off to check to if it's threaded, so I can't do that. I would expect it is M8 threaded, like the microswitched version of this shifter design I reviewed previously. The shaft is the same width/length.

Жыл бұрын

I'm looking for same answer, are they !?

@leaftye

Жыл бұрын

No, but it's probably out of the same factory because they're very close, and the differences are probably minor revisions/improvements. The differences I see are a one piece shell instead of two, surface mount hall effect sensors instead of thru hole, and yellow (weaker) springs instead of blue. It should be easy to find different "mould die springs" if you don't like the yellows. The most significant change is the surface mount hall effect sensors. This design should result in more consistent build quality.

anyone know which sensors they use for these ? i bought a cheap ass one.. but it came with micro switches.. so im bout to just take out the pcb.. and figure a way to use sensors like this to make it work

Since I can't find info anywhere else, could you please measure the Shifter for me?

I've read many people complain about problems with the Hall effect switches on this shifter. Is that only a defect that happens when new, or will they be troublesome with age and use? Yours obviously worked correctly when new - have you had any problems with it since? No big deal if I get a dud and have to return it, but I'm trying to figure out if there's any risk of it failing after the return period has ended. I'm interested in anybody's experience with this shifter's long term reliability. I'm looking at the TOCITAA branded version on Amazon, which appears to be the same. Anybody know for sure? I'm more comfortable with microswitches because I'm more confident I can repair that one if it breaks. But I'd need to dampen the noise on that one, and I know you've said this Hall version has a better feel.
