Thrustmaster TH8S Shifter Add-On
The Thrustmaster TH8S Shifter Add-On adds a manual H-pattern gearbox to your sim racing setup. Its 7+1 shift plate gives you seven forward gears plus reverse, with direct shifting into each gate.
A short metal shift lever and a sport-style knob keep changes quick and precise, and a built-in clamp fixes it to a desk, table or rig without tools.
Dual USB and DIN connections let it work on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. It is part of the Thrustmaster range.
Key features
- 7+1 H-pattern shift plate
- Direct shifting into every gear
- Up to 14 gears for trucks
- 4cm metal shift lever
- Sport-style ergonomic shift knob
- Tool-free clamp for 0.1 to 4cm surfaces
- Dual USB and DIN connectors
- Works on PC, PS5, PS4 and Xbox
One shifter for every car
The 8-position shift plate lets you move straight into any of the seven gears or reverse, so it suits rally, GT, NASCAR and road cars with a manual gearbox.
For truck simulators, Thrustmaster notes you can double the gear count to drive trucks with up to 14 gears.
Short, precise throws
The 4cm metal shift lever makes the TH8S a short shifter, built for quick, clean changes. The ergonomic sport-style knob is easy to grip and keep control of, whether you are on tarmac or off-road.
Browse our sim racing shifters for other H-pattern and sequential options.
Clamp it anywhere
The built-in clamp fits tables, desks and supports from 0.1 to 4cm thick. It tightens by hand, so you can fit the shifter and take it off again quickly without tools.
That makes it easy to run at a desk, and simple to move across to a racing simulator cockpit later.
Compatibility
On PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, the TH8S connects to your Thrustmaster force feedback wheel base with the mini-DIN cable. Thrustmaster keeps the list of compatible wheels on its support website.
On PC it connects by USB and works with any racing wheel. Both the mini-DIN and USB cables are included. See our full range of racing controls.
Our expert take
"The TH8S is a simple, affordable way to add a manual gearbox to a Thrustmaster setup. The 7+1 layout covers most cars, the short metal lever suits quick changes, and the tool-free clamp means it works on a desk as well as a rig."
"On console it needs a compatible Thrustmaster wheel base, so check yours against Thrustmaster's list first. It is an H-pattern shifter only, so if you want sequential shifting and an all-metal build, step up to the Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter Add-On."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
