aikeecUSB Gearshift Knob from a Man Truck ATS ETS for Logitech G29 G27 G25 G920 H Gearshift Shifter Knob for ATS ETS2 Games AI PC …

A review from a 25 year veteran truck driver.I do also own the SKRS knob for the TM TH8A.This one I received works as intended.I purchased it for the Logitech Driving Force Shifter. The one that comes with the G920 wheel. This shifter knob is mounted to the shifter by pressing it on. There is a plastic sleeve inside the knob to make for a tight fit. After its on it takes some effort to remove it and it does not spin easily on the shaft.The switches work as intended. Windows 10 recognizes the lever/switches as two separate buttons. ATS however recognizes both buttons as the same (button 0), but it does actually work in game as two separate buttons on the knob.The quality of this thing overall is really good. I don't know if this thing is an actual knob out of a Man truck or not, as I have never driven a Man. But it does feel like an actual shift knob from a truck so I wanna say it is.The thing I noticed most is the stepped tapper at the bottom of the knob. That is not something I have ever seen on one in the US. This tapper creates an issue however by making the knob length longer over all. So by the time the knob is installed and fully depressed onto the shaft of this shifter, there is not a lot of space for the cable between the knob and the shifters vinyl boot. So either extend the original shaft or create a notch in the bottom of the knob for the cable to exit. This will help eliminate the cable from rubbing on the vinyl.The buttons compared to an actual truck. The splitter on the side of this one is stiff and has a very nice snap to each position. Very much like a new one would from the factory. The range lever on the front is also stiff but does not have the snap past center when moved. An actual shifter does. An actaul knob is very mechanical on the inside. So this lack of snap could be due to its modification to electronic output.My SKRS has a very nice snap to it on the range lever, but the splitter was always loose and less snappy. A lot like when an actual one is worn out.I purchased a second one these for a backup, but I might actually use this one instead and put my SKRS in a box as backup. I like this one better.Price! I know these seem expensive, but I have replaced two knobs in actual trucks and each knob from the dealer was about $90. So I can't complain.Update 3-8-22: I received the second knob the day after I ordered it. I plugged it in, and it works and feels exactly the same as the first one. I also happened to look down through the bottom of it and I could see where the fittings for the airlines will thread in. So yes, this is an actual knob from a truck.Bumped to five star instead of 4 for consistency in quality. The only reason for the 4 was the lack of snap on the range lever.Update 9-4-23: The kid has really put some good time and abuse (normal use) on this thing, and its still working. How much time, and in game miles I do not know.The splitter is still stiff as it was new. The range selector has very slightly loosened up.Again this is an actual knob out of a truck. And some of these things mechanically, last a decade or more before you want a new one. Thats a decade worth of hundreds of thousands of miles, through possibly the same amount of shifting.Its hard to say what they may have changed in the mechanicals of it, to make it USB. But I suspect the electronic part will fail before the knob does. And who knows when that will be, with any electronics.I have repaired the mechanicals in these, in trucks, and they really aren't that difficult to take apart. The hardest part is getting that dang cover off the top, without scaring any of it up. I even seen the professional shops scratch them up, doing it.So the electronics are what you'll be concerned about.I have read many of the reviews on this, and they seem mixed, from some folks who may not have used one of these IRL.I don't think you could go wrong.Price to me, seems very fair, when you compare what these cost at the truck dealer, new, at retail price.

works great. my second shifter, the last one made it a year before the lower button quit. was a different brand. this one needs modification to work as the splitter has a lockout and works in low range only. take it apart and grind off the lock wedge on the blue splitter peice and it's good to go. if your able then save some money and get gaming with this otherwise great shifter.

Purchased this for use in Farm Sim and Truck Simulator. Doesn't work in either game. Windows reads it, but the switches won't read in either game. Very hard to install, too. It simply presses onto the shifter's shaft, and the hole was about 1/16" too small (probably to make a tighter fit) and I was afraid I as gonna damage my shifter trying to push it on. Lousy design, would have been extremely easy to put a simple set-screw on the flat side of the shaft, or used same design as Logitech used and put a screw in the center under the cap. Overall, extremely unhappy and retuning it now.

Item is as described...works perfect. No complaints from me.

Overall this is a great product. Feels very nice and comfortable. I drive big trucks for a living, and this gear shifter is great for 8/9/10 speeds. But here's where it gets tricky.Works great with ATS, haven't tried it with ETS2 yet. When you are in your controller setup, you'll select one drop down for the wheel/shifter, and another drop down for the "truck switch".There are 3 colors for the splitter button on the side. Gray is for 18-speed, Blue is for 15-speed, Red is for 13-speed. This is key.On the one I received, it has the blue button, so only allows me to split gears in the low range. Once I put it in high range (front lever to up), you can no longer split the gears.Be mindful of this. But for the price, I'm going to keep it and get another one.I gave it 4-stars overall because it's still a great product, 5-star for the value (way less expensive than the skks one), 4-stars for the install (I really had to press down hard on the knob to seat it on the gear shifter shaft of my g920, and 5-stars for the comfort.

Work pretty good

This is an actual shifter knob from a rl truck the real ones run about $60usd and they converted it to work with a USB cable which is pretty ingenuous. Thank you for doing so. I do feel the price could be a bit cheaper. The splitter the switch on the front is a bit hard to move but in time it may loosen up. the blue switch on the side is a high/low setting and is not made to "CLICK" this switch is for high/low gear selection such as RL/RH or 8L/8H etc.. Most driver rarely use this setting (switch) unless they have a very heavy load to get rolling and then on the highway to switch to 8H for better fuel econ. All I did to install it was unscrew the original shifter head and slide this on on. it fits snug and no screws needed hence no instructions. its well made at least the knob lets see how well of a job they did converting it to USB. Only time will tell but I think this will out last the Logitech shifter unit.

The feeling of the shifter and switches itself was pretty good, definitely felt like real life, but that’s really all that’s good about it. None of the buttons work, there is chinese text on the side that was not in the pictures shown, and this is not for 18 speed. When the back switch is in high, the slider on the side will not go forward, vice versa. Basically meaning that 5H,6H,7H,8H are completely unusable. This is a physical feature i noticed, but it doesn’t matter anyway because the buttons don’t even work!!
