Hi, thanks for your video, very informative and detailed! I just switched from Moza to Simagic setup and I've just kept my SGP Sequential Shifter and handbrake from Moza, as well as the HGP (H Pattern shifter). Noticing the Q1S and the Q1 and their planetary gear design, I was very intrigued by those. But the the Moza SGP has hall sensors, which means less prone to break and wear out. Also the buttons as you pointed and half the price and still has a great construction. Also it has been mentioned in the video the Q1S and the SGP from Moza have a similar feeling/feedback. Long story short, I was considering one of the sequential from Simagic or the DS-8X, to have all in one, but from the review it seems it's more an H pattern and the sequential feature is quite bland and not solid as the dedicated units. Currently all the three shifters are next to each other in line in my rig, with the H pattern the farther from my reach (but still relatively comfortable to use). Wondering if it's worth it.
@@TheMash84 The DS8X is much easier to recommend than the Q1S. With a short cylinder shaped gear knob, the sequential mode on it is solid, just under the Moza Sequential (albeit drastically quieter). Without the planetary gears it isn’t as tactile as the Q1S, but it also doesn’t have the issue where you send the shift signal to the game without getting to the end of the travel. That tradeoff for just being able to flip a switch to go between H pattern and sequential is a solid one. More often these days I’ve started to just use it over swapping it out on my rig for the Q1S just for convenience (plus I have to have space on the rig to set up a HOTAS occasionally!) That said, if you already have the Moza H pattern and Sequential, I doubt it’s worth swapping to unless one of those ends up failing at some point. The DS8X isn’t cheap!
Great vid thanks!
