American gaming hardware manufacturer Turtle Beach has revealed its new VelocityOne Multi-Shift shifter, which is available to pre-order now.
The Multi-Shift features both H-pattern and sequential modes, with seven forward gears and one reverse, with a high and low-range switcher pushing the forward numbers to 14.
The Multi-Shift employs hall effect technology for its gear change action, with short and long throw shafts and two different shifter knobs packaged. It can also be used as an analogue handbrake, while switching between H-pattern and sequential shifting can be done on the fly.
The Multi-Shift is compatible with Xbox consoles when connected to Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne Race wheelbase, while PC compatibility arrives via USB. The shifter can be bolted directly to a sim cockpit or can be attached to a desk thanks to the built-in table clamp.
Discussion
I have one arriving tomorrow. I currently use a TH8A with a short shift kt installed and want to see if this is an upgrade. I’ve never felt comfortable with it and mis-shift often. I had the Velocity One wheel but returned it. In fact, was a big upgrade over my G920, but it still felt like a toy. I’ve been very satisfied with my Turtle Beach Velocity One Rudder Pedals and hope the Mulit-Shift meets or exceeds that standard of quality and functionality.
Interesting – how did you find it?
