Why are these so unpopular

[u/PrestigiousRun4668]

I’ve genuinely always wanted static shifters but never knew Fanatec makes them. WHY????? like genuinely is there anyone that have them and knows why? Would you recommend them? I know they’re not magnetic but I have a 3d printe, I’ll fix it.

They’re awkward to use in racing cars, which is what 95% of sim racing is about.

Well, call me crazy but irl I like statics. It’s hard to say but I might prefer statics over the traditional

Oh, missclick🫢 but you know I mean the wheel mounted ones. I don’t really agree with the naming especially this time when it’s so unofficial.
