A newly published Hackaday project details a two-component H-pattern gear shifter built for racing simulation setups. The design uses just two components to recreate the gated shifting feel of a manual car, appealing to sim racers who want a realistic shifter without paying for commercial hardware. Maker communities are sharing the build as an affordable DIY alternative for home racing rigs.
Why now: DIY hardware projects that cut the cost of sim racing peripherals tend to circulate widely among gaming and maker communities.
