Hey Goose, there's actually a set screw for the tension on the thrustmaster shifter that very few people know about, it's on the side of it a small hex key
It's pretty clear that the MOZA stuff is built/designed for a full racing sim setup, desk setups are an afterthought. That being said, it is nice that you can still mount it to the desk if you want. Saving for the MOZA stuff as we speak, I really like their wheels and bases, and they keep killing it with all the peripherals. Excited to try them out.
If you want something sturdy to hold it all down and don't have the money to ball out on a full simrig I REALLY recomend the Next level rancing wheel stand 2.0. You can later upgrade it to become a full simrig
you're on your second direct drive wheel, you have a mountable handbrake and shifter as well, it seems like the only logical next step is a wheelstand or a rig. at like $250 for a nice wheelstand with the option for a seat add-on to make it a full cockpit in the future, you can definitely justify the price (especially compared to the TH8A pricing). i use the wheelstand 2.0 from NLR and the ergonomic difference coming from a desk I M M E N S E
For your table setup, a Frex would be perfect. It comes out further than the TH8A and has 4 buttons! And the shift feel is amazing. I recently upgraded from the TH8A the the Frex and the difference is huge. The price is kind of high, but not crazy like the super high end stuff like ProSim. It's a good middle ground between entry level and full on pro level.
Never heard of the Frex.. I’ll have to check that out! We need more middle of the road products for sim racing. Most of us are already in thousands just PC alone haha. I’ll definitely be checking them out!
@@MassBred88 I guess to some it wouldn’t be middle of the road but to me… yes it’s a middle of the road shifter. Compare it to Simucube and ProSim then you’ll see.
the ebay one is perfectly sufficient. In fact i think the clunk sound into gears is 10x more satisfying than both the moza and thrustmaster shifter. As far as reliability goes? i know a lot of people that have them and haven't really dealt with any issues. Like handbrakes, its not a complex piece of equipment to actually make thus making the room for error pretty low and inexpensive. I'd say save your money, buy an ebay shifter and save for the gear that counts
just so you know, there is a whole range of shifters lightyears beyond those you showed. price reflects that too tho... immersion cost's a lot of money... curious to see if you ever are going to see the benefit of a top level pedal set? that's the upgrade that will benefit you the most, even more so then a good wheel base and steering rim.
I knew it would happen, moza sends you literally everything, I need a new wheel base and rim so badly but I’m not some TH-camr with a ton of subs soooo… gotta pay for everything
Th8a is very flexible you can rotate the mount and shifter however you want. I have it at like a 45 degree angle away from me (on a rig not a desk) Also did they increase the price or something? iirc it wax 150 when I got it...
Late comment but the Thrustmaster is designed to be mounted to a desk so its a given that it will have a more "outwards" feel. The other two shifters are more "higher end" and those are 100% designed to be mounted to a sim rig, which is why you need to buy or attach the desk mounts seperately! Just throwing this in here for anyone looking into the hobby.
Honestly TH8A, I don't know what cars other people drive but nowadays most cars have pretty soft shifting, at least mine. However in motorsport the stiffness is most likely a lot higher.
@@kaplanzsolt5949 no thrustmaster is not realistic look at other people's reviews the car shifter is way heavier than the thrustmaster shifter The most realistic is probably the moza shifter
1st: The new shifter is insane and a lot cooler and more realistic 2nd: You should get a little table next to you to clamp it. It will be helpful because you wont have to reach like that and 3rd: I love your vids and I watch all of them because you are the best sim racing youtuber ever. This is a long comment
I've had an eBay shifter for about a year with no issues, except sometimes I miss 3rd gear it could do with a stronger centre detent, but other than that great value
Dude you should really get some kind of rig to mount everything, it's honestly game changing. Even just like a wheel stand without a seat attached is cash.
6:27 u definitely right i dont have handbreak so i use gear pads for handbreak. if any button on the shifter is really appreciated :) like my older g25 i missed it :)
You really need a playseat or something similar, goosey. A nice rig for all of your accessories. The shifter would feel a lot more comfortable if you had a proper set up. Great video though.

hmm... interesting
w instructions 😂
Exactly, came here to say this. You can make it way stiffer to move like a truck shifter would be almost.
Always disliked this about my thrustmaster shifter. Who knew all this time I could have changed it. Thx!
Hey gorgeous could you please send me either a new steering wheel or gear shifter my dad won’t get me one

ur setup is getting pretty awesome! ill gladly take the things u dont need anymore :P

Anyways, Love the video as always, Keep uploading 👏👏
as always amazing video goose, your content helps me to build my sim setup

I hope more unboxing videos soon!

Beautiful video bro 😍
Hey Goose, could you please tell me out of thoose three shifters which one is the most car-like to shift with?
Honestly TH8A, I don't know what cars other people drive but nowadays most cars have pretty soft shifting, at least mine. However in motorsport the stiffness is most likely a lot higher.
@@Goosiest thank you
@@kaplanzsolt5949 no thrustmaster is not realistic look at other people's reviews the car shifter is way heavier than the thrustmaster shifter
The most realistic is probably the moza shifter
goose should def make a "budget" setup with all his old or cheap items and compare it to what he has now.
Is the shifter compatible with xbox?
Just buy a pc at this point

Ayo what? 🤨
A bucket seat company needs to sponser Goosiest
Video idea: buy a sim cockpit or get someone to sponsor you
The pinky test worked better than I expected on showing how stiff it was. It should return.
What a quinscedence you uploaded on my birthday goose makesmy day
The best smell in the world: you know how sharpies smell good once you smell a Copic marker you’ll never go back to sharpies
goosiest: I love balls,heavy ball.💀
@2:32 @2:43 the gear shifts make a good ASMR sound!

for drifts sake Goose get a Rig all ready running of a table........ a table!

I've had an eBay shifter for about a year with no issues, except sometimes I miss 3rd gear it could do with a stronger centre detent, but other than that great value
The best smell is the goosebutt smell
Always the best content by our lovely goos
You can easily fix the reaching thing if you buy a small table or an L shape table that way you can easily use the ebay shifter and the mosa shifter
“Man i love balls” goose
my guy your pc stats are insane for just drift games
Goosiest is the best youtuber
I think you can make the moza quieter by attaching the foam bits that came in bag on the gear numbers
type f in the chat for the goose that goosiest used to hav
Hope you have a good time with your shifter Goose
I just can't handle that Goosiest is still using his desk instead of a proper rig. But as always great video!
I love my desk #DeskGang
@@Goosiest i do to i use my stuff on a desk to
hey. can you test the TH8S shifter? cuz im planning to buy one and i want to see how it feels! thanks. I love your videos!
it handles just like TH8A shifter, just looks different, worth the buy
Congrats goose and we would love to see the 3 different handbrakes
I think you are saying that if they are harder to shift that is a down side but I feel like that is better because it will feel more realistic
You should buy a cockpit and VR to improve your driving experience.
matte finish looks clean
There is a mod for the shifter’s table clamp to make it more customizable on the table so please do check that out.
Can you please do a shifter video because I don't know what shifter to get with the thrustmaster shifter and my wheel stand🤞
Someone NEEDS to send this man a rig. The ergonomics of the shifter and handbrake being on the table looks so uncomfortable
on the moza shifter is a knob where you can adjust the softness
No there is not
The best smell in the world is a fried chicken pizza corn dogs Hot dogs
Wait... no
The engine Yeah the engine :)
Nice table mount review 👍

Man I love balls - Goosiest 2023
Soon goose is gonna be unboxing new pc set ups or something 💀💀💀
Why does this man have a new setup every 3 days😂
Yes, can you compare handbrakes?
Thrustmaster: Pinkey shifter
Ebay: 2 finger shifter
Moza Racing: He-Man shifter
I swear all you need to sell something to goose is to make sure it has buttons on it.
If you get a sim rig, you can mount the shifter in a more natural position to your side... :)
All dreams have meanings”
My dreams:
You have an i9-13900K and Rtx 4080? I will never be able to afford that
yup
@@Goosiest Not funny, also you should race with a Koenigsegg Jesko in your next video. Trust me you will win 😉
Handbrakes comparison will be really handy,I would love to take a look on it
6:27 u definitely right i dont have handbreak so i use gear pads for handbreak.
if any button on the shifter is really appreciated :)
like my older g25 i missed it :)
"I love balls" TAHT SOUNDED SO WRONG
Yup would like a hand brake comparison
You really need a playseat or something similar, goosey. A nice rig for all of your accessories. The shifter would feel a lot more comfortable if you had a proper set up. Great video though.
theres a screw on the side of the thrustmaster shifter for the tension use a torch and a flathead screwdriver
inside a circle hole on left side
"Man I Love Balls"🤣🤣🤣
Goosiest try the SSH shifter.
I bet you could mount the desk clamp on the other side to move it closer to you
Pink fluffy thing 👍
*edit* you should of got out ur logitech one as well
0:43 man i love balls💀
the moza shifter being heavy to move is more realistic as i have the shifter on my rig, it also feels the same as my commordore vf ss
I love how out of all the cars he could have used with a stick shift, he used a vette with paddle shifters. 💀
