I bought this shifter to go along with my G29 race wheel and it doesn't disappoint. This is the first shifter I've ever owned so I can't really compare it to anything else, but from my time with it I'd have to say it does exactly what it's suppose to do. I use it mainly on my ps4 with games like driveclub and project cars. Nice effortless shifting action although the push down reverse takes some getting use to(but how often do you use reverse in driving games). I would definitely recommend looking into mounting it rather than clamping. The clamps are strong, but after buying the wheel stand pro to go along with my setup there is no way I could go back to clamping it down. The wheel stand allows you to use the screw holes on the bottom of the shifter and wheel to screw it down and it doesn't move an inch. The shifter seems very sturdy and well built. I only hope more games come out soon that use it. The only complaints that I would have with this shifter is that it should have came packaged with the G29 for the hefty price tag it carries(399.99). Forking out another 50 bucks on top of that for the shifter is kind of crazy considering that the G27 came with it. Also I wish it had a sequential shift option like the G25 had. It's like your paying more for less. With those small gripes aside let's not forget that this is a review for the shifter alone, and with that being said it's definitely more enjoyable flying through the gears with this baby so i'd have to recommend it for the avid race fan.

Paired with the Logitech Racing Wheel (G920), it makes an exceptional beginner racing simulator setup. Quite literally a Plug and Play device. Truly, I don't know of any other aftermarket shifter that delivers similar if not better quality, for more or less a similar price. It works my PC well, and in games such as Forza 5, Assetto Corsa, and the Need for Speed series.

I bought this driving force shifter to go along with the Logitech wheel and pedals, as a Christmas racing bundle for my 11 year old son. It makes his racing experience more fun and it works great. I wanted to add that the exceptional service I received from Best Buy manager Danilo and associate Danny, gave me motivation to continue shopping at my favorite store Best Buy.
