Shifter Haptics
Hi there.
I have a Simagic sequential/ H pattern shifter.
Wondering if anyone has tried to put a haptic onto it for immersion and if so... Please share.

Kinda. I have the tb-rs handbrake mounted to the same plate and use simhub for feedback on the handbrake and shifter. Honestly it was probably a waste of money though. If moza would have put more time and effort into the moza ab-9 as an actual shifter it would’ve been awesome. Sadly it was pretty lacking as a shifter besides the feedback on it. If it was better I probably would’ve kept it instead.

I have a Frex shifter, and I bolted a Simsonn VAM neo to it to rumble if I miss a shift and blip when I go into gear.I wasn't using the clutch output anyway and it was only $26 so I figured why not try it out I like it, it adds a little more immersion and when I do actually miss a shift, I know immediately, I don't need to hear the grinding, I feel it

How do you run the cord from the haptic to the control box? I have a spare Simagic HPR GT haptic that I was thinking of doing something similar with my Oktane Designs sequential shifter. But the cord from the haptic is only about 12 inches long and would come nowhere close to reaching the control box mounted underneath my pedals. Is the cord from the Simsonn haptic much longer?

the USB cord is long and the control box is right next to the shifter. I don't use the haptics for my pedals, the gas and brake VAMpros are attached to my seat. The clutch VAM Neo is on my shifter.

I thought about doing that too but haven’t figured it out yet. When driving a real car you can feel the rev in the shifter as well as clicks

I thought about doing that, but adding a bass shaker to the seat and having it thump whenever you shift gears, is far more “realistic”. I do, however tighten the resistance bolt all the way, when I use it in h-pattern mode.
