Sim Racing Review – Fanatec ClubSport Shifter

Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ review

It has been a while since Doug Meyer of Sim Racing Review posted a new video, but now he is back. This time Doug takes a look at the new Fanatec ClubSport Shifter.

The Shifter is available in two different versions. A 7-speed traditional H-Pattern shifter, or the same unit with added sequential shifter support, in which the shifter can be switched from H-pattern to Sequential mode by means of a slider on the side of the base unit. 

The ClubSport Shifter is entirely built out of metal, making it a rather heavy, but durable unit. The shifting knob is screwed on a standard thread to allow you to mount any commercial aftermarket knobs from various automotive brands. To securely mount the Fanatec ClubSport Shifter to a variation of rigs and platforms, the unit comes with multiple mounting options on all 4 sides and bottom. There is also an optional and separately sold table clamp available, to mount the unit on a desk or table top.

The Fanatec ClubSport Shifter is compatible with all Fanatec wheels when connected directly to the wheel. For use with a Logitech G27, Thrustmaster T500RS or any other wheel on PC, you will have to use the optional ClubSport USB Adapter.

The regular H Pattern shifter is sold for €149, while the SQ edition will retail for €199. Fanatec provides an optional table clamp for €29.
