Everyone soak in the yearly DG10 TH-cam video, it came early this year
It supports AC, Dirt Rally 2.0, and Iracing. Those are the 3 main food groups! For that price, and in VR, definitely gonna check it out. Great review!
Same .... agreed 👍🏾
THE CHANNEL LIVES!
Good honest review from this individual. Thank you Daniel Gray for this good honest review.
Awesome video man, gonna do some more research on this and gonna add it to a wishlist for sure
yearly dg10 video POG
I recieved thie HF8 this Christmas. Works great. Really happy with the added layer of immersion this adds to my experience. Great with racing, Flight combat, shooters. If you play World of Tanks(6 year Tanker here), it's actually startling...The battles really feel brutal, plus you get a pretty good message. Excellent Haptics for a reasonable price.
Great video. Will look into this product for sure. Was considering buttkicker but this seems like a better compromise for enhanced immersion...
I just got one of these yesterday. I feel like I am sitting on rocks, but I am a big guy (120 kg). Do you have any recommendations for a good cushion that works to smooth that out without losing too much of the haptic feedback?
How many watts does this run? I wonder what transducers they are using. I have NLR motion+ on a NLR Fgt elite
is this the annual TH-cam video? if yes, see you next year!
Thank you for this review. I've been annoyed with my buttkicker for years. It's extremely noisy, it rackets the whole thing around, I constantly have to tweak it's volume settings depending on the car, the software is horrendous and none of the options tell you what they do, and I could go on and on. All I ever wanted was to feel a sense of connection to the road and the bumps. This seems like it'll fit the bill. I'll give it a crack in a couple of weeks. Is there a referral code or anything of the sort I can use so you can get a kickback from the sale? I'd like to spread the love.
5:47 can we please discuss font selection ? okgreat
also iRacing provides ABS telemetry so NLR could totally implement this form a technical standpoint
Is the vibration strong enough to make me go cross-eyed?
Very cool, since it is actually less than a single buttkicker here in the UK it almost seems like a no brainer.
When using on a ps5 all motors rumble at the same time and works off certain audio within the game so i believe ? Therefore would this rumble when playing wrc generations on ps5 ? i understand on the games supported you can tweak individual settings again my question is will i get vibration if used when playing wrc generations on ps5 ? thankyou if anyone can advise .
This seems like a really cool product. Very cute personality too ;)
I can see that material wearing and flaking pretty quickly if used regularly.
Here's a question for you. I've got a Thrustmaster T248. I can sell it and get a T300 for the same price as the HF8. Which would you do? T300 and no haptics, or T248 with haptics?
Interesting. I've never seen this thing before.
TH-cam CONTENT IS HERE. Lets goooo.
I recently purchased the device. As I've never had any haptic devices attached to my rig, it was of course a big "improvement" to the sim experience. That is.....until I noticed a lag between the time an object is encountered (say a curb) and the time the device activates, and then also lag between the time you clear an object (say a curb) and the time the device deactivates. It's significant enough for me that is breaks the immersion. I'm waiting for a reply from Next Level support about finding a way to reduce this "lag". If it can't be reduced I'm probably going to return it.
Anybody else having this issue?
I didn't even remember you have a yt channel.
Would you recommend this to add to a sim rug with a buttkicker already installed?
I have a setup like this....1 shaker mounted under my pedals, 1 in the back under my seat and this pad on my seat. All of it is running through SimHub.
hi Daniel , new here and very interested on this device but there are some effects which are lost compared to simhub shakeit or others, i mean wheel lock, wheel slip , do you know if this will work on simhub too when connected thru usb or it works only with nlr software?
@@daniel_gray10 i believe you when we talk about immersion but effects like lock and spin are very important in simracing haptic, what a pitty....let's hope in a software upgrade
This DOES connect to Simhub - I have it and it works perfectly and compared to the NLR app it’s on a totally different level. There’s so many conflicting TH-cam videos out at the moment. I believe this product is massively let down by its software but since Simhub works fine then no issue.
@@MrNeilRoberts these are very good news....so it works with simhub simply plug and play as with its software?
@@andrealateralus1420 yes … USB
@@MrNeilRoberts Yeah, I wasn't told about this when reviewing at all unfortunately. I'll try and make a follow up video using the device with simhub!
Can I use this aswell as the buttkicker I currently use via simhub???
I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to use both.
This would be perfect for my ikea poang
oh sweet. I was never really that interested in those butt shaker things but this looks cool.
Can hf8 and buttkicker run simultaneously on the same pc?
Yes they can
Big time views here.
Some report this device vibration is unable to compare to buttkickers and the motors are slow to kick in so they are not synched with the sim
Was wondering about exactly that... Latency figures, that sort of thing
@@raphaelmeillat8527 Whatch Dan Suzuki review...
Does it lag as someone else mentioned?
I didn’t personally notice this
@@daniel_gray10 Thank you for responding. I'm looking to add something like this to my rig possibly. Would you agree that this is better than the buttkicker equipment?
I don't know why this wasn't done sooner. It makes so much "sense". Excuse the pun 👀
Can you also feel wheelslip?
You can feel it slightly through the suspension effect, but this is something that I’d like to see added to the software.
@@daniel_gray10 Thanks for your quick reply!
Hype 😂 yearly video
The price does seem fair - cool product
Hi chat
BEAM NO BEAM SUPPORT
Is this GamerMuscle with hair??? J/K…..how noisy is are the transducers? I had the buttkicker gamer2 and I could imagine how annoying it would have been to my neighbors below me and I returned it.
Nevermind you answered my question….thanks

Not DG trying to make sure everyone knows he is a simracer with a girlfriend at 3:47 weird flex man
Be warry guys, this is a forcefeedback device, it is not a buttkicker, a buttkicker physical moves your cockpit around, that's the real deal
... that's factually 100% incorrect. Do you know the component used in buttkickers is? I'm going to guess not since you stated that a buttkicker "physical moves your cockpit around" (FYI, it doesn't.) Regardless , I'll tell you, it's called a transducer (specifically a _tactile transducer_ .) Did you catch him mentioning what component is in this product? If you guessed 'transducer too' you'd be correct. All a transducer does is create vibration... Don't believe me? Look it up yourself.. or watch a review of a buttkicker and you will clearly see the cockpit is not moving around (unless they also have a motion rig)
