Simagic DS-8X Dual-Mode 8-Speed H-Pattern / Sequential Shifter Overview
Product Description
The Simagic DS-8X Shifter is a premium dual-mode sim racing shifter that seamlessly switches between H-pattern and sequential shifting modes, delivering the ultimate flexibility for every racing discipline. With an 8-speed H-pattern + reverse layout and instant tool-free switching to sequential mode, it’s designed for GT, touring car, rally, and endurance racers who demand precision and realism.
Built from a full-metal body — combining a CNC-machined aluminium alloy housing with a steel internal structure — the DS-8X is engineered for durability, rigidity, and a long service life. At the core of its design is a pull-up gear lock mechanism to prevent mis-shifts into 7th, 8th, or Reverse gears, ensuring every shift is safe and accurate.
With adjustable damping, drivers can fine-tune resistance for a more realistic or lighter throw, depending on driving style. The shifter also supports interchangeable gear knobs, letting you tailor ergonomics and aesthetics to your setup.
Compact yet solid, the DS-8X measures 170 × 102 × 264.5 mm and weighs approximately 2.0 kg, making it robust without being bulky. Mounting options are versatile thanks to multiple M6 mounting holes in both thread-hole and through-hole layouts, ensuring compatibility with most cockpits and rigs. Connectivity is simple and reliable via USB plug-and-play, compatible with both PC and Simagic wheelbases.
As the global distributor of Simagic, Trak Racer has proudly supported sim racing since 2008, supplying enthusiasts and professionals worldwide with premium simulation hardware. With official partnerships with the BWT Alpine F1® Team and Airbus Flight Sim, every product we distribute reflects our dedication to motorsport-grade performance and immersion. The Simagic DS-8X continues that tradition, combining innovative dual-mode technology, rugged construction, and pro-level accuracy.

Wish the mount plate would be a bit larger to put the hand brake and gear shifter. Has to add an extra plate to make it fit with some space in between. Overall a good product
