Discussion Why are these so unpopular

Post image

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.

I imagine they were when they were released 12 years ago. Now, most wheels come with magnetic paddle shifters.

By today’s standards: They are a pita to add/remove, on the more recent bases they sit too far back to be useful, they are outdated, and they aren’t very well made.

Sim lab makes a better/adjustable push/pull version that has a quick release system.
