Thrustmaster has officially announced the TH8S Shifter Add-On. This new 8-position “H”-pattern shifter is derived from the popular Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter. It is compatible with the PC via a USB-C/USB-A connection, and on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S with the use of a Thrustmaster Force Feedback racing wheel (DIN connector). Both cables are included.
The TH8S Shifter Add-On inherits the same 8-position (7+1) “H”-pattern shift plate used by its (TH8A) big brother, allowing for direct shifting of the 7 gears plus the reverse gear with no unnecessary movements required.
The TH8S Shifter Add-On adapts to all types of games and vehicles with manual shifting: rally, GT, NASCAR, and trucks. The number of gears can easily be doubled using a keyboard/gamepad shortcut to be configured in order to adapt to driving trucks with up to 14 gears.
With its 1.6″ / 4 cm metal shift lever, TH8S Shifter Add-On is a “short” shifter, specially designed with responsiveness in mind, for clean and precise shifting. The frictionless H.E.A.R.T technology derived from Thrustmaster’s high-end TH8A Shifter Add-On Shifter version is incorporated into TH8S Shifter Add-On, ensuring the same extreme level of precision throughout the product’s lifespan.
TH8S Shifter Add-On features an ergonomic “sport-style” shift knob for easy handling. TH8S Shifter Add-On features a built-in sturdy clamping system for all types of tables, desks, and supports (0.04–1.6″ / 0.1–4 cm thick). Clamping doesn’t require any tools, allowing the shifter to be attached and unattached quickly and easily.
The TH8S Shifter Add-On is available for preorder starting June 29, 2023, at a suggested retail price of £59.99 / $69.99 / €69.99. The unit will be available worldwide on July 27, 2023.
