Inaccurate shifts cost me valuable seconds on lap times. Ended up not using it. Modern day cars use paddle shifters anyway so if you really need the old school feel then go for it, otherwise it isn’t necessary.

Hi Dcurry, So sorry to hear that you weren't pleased with the Driving Force Shifter's performance. There may be a hardware issue that's causing the inaccurate shifts which, fortunately may be covered by the 2-year limited hardware warranty. Here's a link to file a claim: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024921694-Warranty-Driving-Force-Shifter. Hope that this helps and that all gets resolved to your satisfaction. Thank you for choosing Logitech. - Richard from Logitech

I purchased the Logitech Driving Force Shifter for my son to use with his Xbox Series X, and it has been a fantastic upgrade to his racing game experience. The build quality is excellent, with a sturdy feel and smooth shifting. It adds a whole new level of realism to games like Forza and other racing simulators.
The setup was straightforward, and it works perfectly with his Logitech G920 wheel. My son absolutely loves it and says it makes the gameplay much more immersive. Best Buy delivered it quickly and in perfect condition. If you're looking to take your racing games to the next level, this shifter is a must-have! Highly recommend!

The Logitech Driving Force Shifter for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 & 5 in Black/Silver is an absolute must-have for any racing enthusiast. As someone deeply passionate about racing games, this shifter has truly enhanced my gaming experience in ways I didn't think were possible.
Let's start with the build quality. The Driving Force Shifter feels incredibly sturdy and well-crafted, with a premium black and silver finish that looks sleek and stylish next to my racing setup. The shifter knob has a satisfying weight to it, and the gear shifts feel smooth and responsive, adding a level of realism to my races that I never knew I was missing.
Compatibility is another huge plus with this shifter. Whether I'm playing on my Xbox Series X, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 & 5, this shifter seamlessly integrates with my gaming setup, providing a consistent and reliable experience across all platforms. Plus, the simple plug-and-play design means I can jump right into the action without any complicated setup or configuration.
But perhaps the most impressive aspect of the Driving Force Shifter is its versatility. With the ability to switch between H-pattern and sequential shifting modes, I can tailor the shifter to match the specific requirements of each game and driving style. Whether I'm cruising through city streets or tearing up the track, this shifter adapts to my needs with ease.
In terms of performance, I couldn't be more satisfied. The Driving Force Shifter delivers precise and accurate gear changes every time, allowing me to maintain full control over my vehicle and tackle even the most challenging races with confidence. It's truly a game-changer for anyone serious about their racing games.
Overall, I can't recommend the Logitech Driving Force Shifter highly enough. Its solid build quality, seamless compatibility, versatile design, and outstanding performance make it a five-star addition to any racing setup. If you're looking to take your racing games to the next level, look no further than this fantastic shifter.

Must have with the G29, built well , mounts beautiful and adds major realism Here’s my review of the g29 wheel. So after doing extensive reading on buyers Reviews and major company Previews on different wheels for the PS4 , I decided on the G29 logitech racing wheel I decided to buy it even at its highest price of $300 and change. Excited to play the racing games on my PS4 Pro, Gran Turismo was the main reason I wanted the wheel, , . The game was a decent game in the series great for this wheel, GTS is Ok..... other games not so much, Sony gave most of the rights to Thrustmaster designers for their wheels, and games, I was disappointed to find out that most my games are compatible with the G 29. And I think my biggest problem with the wheel, is the price I paid the fact that I had just bought the new Xbox X and I have to buy a whole new wheel just to enjoy Forza, wallet Breaker . Great wheel other than the non ability of cross platform setup. The wheel and pedals themselves are extremely well built and I hope they can just get MORE compatible games . I do own a VR and with this wheel in VR mode is pretty intense 7.8/10
Just do your research

Logitech Driving Force Shifter Review!
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Works great with the G923, G920/G29. The leather on it is real I don’t think it is faux leather. Very high quality. A bit tough if you want to mod it like, put on a different shifter or top. But the top cap is easy to pop off. On BeamNG, you have to go into neutral, then press the paddle on the wheel to get it to go in reverse, at least I think. On the G Hub software you can map the different areas where you can shift to. I guess you could set backwards to reverse if you want. If you want info on the G923. Then check out my review on it.

The Logitech G29 Gear Shifter is a fantastic addition to the G29 racing wheel setup. It has a solid, durable feel with a metal construction and a comfortable rubber grip. The 6-speed H-pattern shifter is smooth and precise, giving you that true-to-life feel when shifting gears, especially in games that support manual transmission.
The shifting action is satisfying, with a noticeable "click" between gears that makes the experience feel very immersive. While it might take some time to adjust if you're used to paddle shifters, once you get the hang of it, it adds a lot of realism and fun to your racing sessions. Overall, it's a great complement to the G29 wheel—if you're serious about racing simulators, this gear shifter is definitely worth the investment.

The shift is built well, reverse can be tricky for those with a real manual car. Goes into gear well but there is still the occasional miss shift (user error) I drive a sports car with a manual 6 speed, but my reverse in my real car is to the left, pull up on the sleeve under the knob and then shift up. This is the opposite on this shifer where you must go to the right and push the knob down and then shift down. I wish it was reversible to match my real car, (which is in Forza horizon 5 by the way) other than a personal issue of getting used to the opposite for me, this works real well.

If you're looking to enhance your sim racing experience, the Logitech Driving Force Shifter is a fantastic addition to your setup! This shifter is solidly built with high-quality materials, including a sturdy steel shaft and a leather-wrapped knob, giving it a premium feel that enhances immersion.
One of the standout features is its six-speed "H" pattern with a push-down reverse, which mimics real manual transmissions beautifully. The shifting feels smooth yet tactile, adding to the realism of racing games like Assetto Corsa, Forza, and Euro Truck Simulator 2. While it’s designed to work seamlessly with the Logitech G29, G920, and G923 wheels, it can also be adapted for PC setups with the right software.
The installation is super easy, and the clamps hold it securely in place, ensuring stability even during intense races. While it lacks a sequential shifting mode, it delivers an authentic manual driving experience that makes every race more engaging.
For the price, the Driving Force Shifter is an excellent value and a must-have accessory for anyone who loves racing sims. Highly recommended!

It takes gaming to the next level. The more you have to control the more immersive the experience, easy as that. It’s solid and decently made. I would recommend to utilize the “bolt on” option as it’s much sturdier in that configuration. When you’re getting this deep into gaming it’s about preference and comfort with easy of use. This checks all 3 ( Do Recommend)

great shifter! I use this when playing GT7 and it shifts like a dream. Gear mapping is easy to navigate, only thing I’ve noticed is that the separate clutch pedal from the G29 racing wheel doesn’t need as much finesse as irl, aka you can just hit the clutch super fast when shifting in GT7, though that could be a game setting and not the logitech gear itself.
Easy to install to the logitech G29 racing wheel and pair with my PS5.

Works really well with the wheel and pedal kit. The only gripe I have is that I have not found a game yet that requires the clutch to be used. It's more like switching to manual mode in an automatic car.. Also there is no reverse on the shifter. you have to use a button on the wheel to go in reverse. Now come to think of it this thing isnt worth the money lol.
