Thrustmaster TH8 Sequential Knob

Metal sequential gear knob for the TH8A and TH8 RS shifters

Description

The Thrustmaster TH8 Sequential Knob is a sequential gearshift knob for the TH8A and TH8 RS shifters.

How it works. It is a replacement knob, not a shift plate: it screws directly onto the shifter stick. Thrustmaster recommends using it only with the sequential (+/-) plate installed, not the H-pattern (7+1) plate.

Build. 100% metal, 11 cm tall and 4 cm in diameter, weighing 220 g. It works on every platform the TH8A supports, since it has no electronics.

Driving style

The Sequential Knob suits TH8A owners who run the sequential plate for rally, drift and touring cars in EA WRC, DiRT Rally 2.0, Assetto Corsa and RaceRoom, and want a taller, rally-style lever instead of the round H-pattern knob. Best for TH8A or TH8 RS owners who mostly use sequential mode; less suited for H-pattern drivers or TH8S owners, as it is not designed for them.

Build quality

Mid-range build

The knob is 100% metal, 11 cm tall and 220 g, and screws directly onto the TH8A or TH8 RS stick. It has no moving parts or electronics, so durability depends on the shifter itself.

Software

The knob has no electronics and needs no software. Sequential mode is selected on the TH8A by installing the sequential (+/-) plate, which the shifter detects automatically; gate settings remain in the TH8A's PC software.

Frequently asked questions

Which shifters does the TH8 Sequential Knob fit?

It is made for the Thrustmaster TH8A and TH8 RS and screws directly onto their stick. Thrustmaster does not list the TH8S as compatible.

Can I use the Sequential Knob in H-pattern mode?

Thrustmaster recommends using it only with the TH8A's sequential (+/-) plate installed, not the H-pattern (7+1) plate.

Does the knob change how the TH8A sequential mode feels?

It changes the grip and lever height, but not the mechanism. GTPlanet's TH8A review describes the sequential mode itself as springy rather than ratcheting, which a knob does not alter.

Is the TH8 Sequential Knob worth $49.99?

It is an all-metal, 220 g knob that installs in seconds, so it mainly makes sense for TH8A owners who use sequential mode often and want a rally-style lever. The TH8A also accepts universal shifter knobs.
