Product Description
The Simagic DS-8X Shifter is a premium dual-mode sim racing shifter that seamlessly switches between H-pattern and sequential shifting modes, delivering the ultimate flexibility for every racing discipline. With an 8-speed H-pattern + reverse layout and instant tool-free switching to sequential mode, it’s designed for GT, touring car, rally, and endurance racers who demand precision and realism.
Built from a full-metal body — combining a CNC-machined aluminium alloy housing with a steel internal structure — the DS-8X is engineered for durability, rigidity, and a long service life. At the core of its design is a pull-up gear lock mechanism to prevent mis-shifts into 7th, 8th, or Reverse gears, ensuring every shift is safe and accurate.
With adjustable damping, drivers can fine-tune resistance for a more realistic or lighter throw, depending on driving style. The shifter also supports interchangeable gear knobs, letting you tailor ergonomics and aesthetics to your setup.
Compact yet solid, the DS-8X measures 170 × 102 × 264.5 mm and weighs approximately 2.0 kg, making it robust without being bulky. Mounting options are versatile thanks to multiple M6 mounting holes in both thread-hole and through-hole layouts, ensuring compatibility with most cockpits and rigs. Connectivity is simple and reliable via USB plug-and-play, compatible with both PC and Simagic wheelbases.

With official partnerships with the BWT Alpine F1® Team and Airbus Flight Sim, every product we distribute reflects our dedication to motorsport-grade performance and immersion.
