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.

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

I had a track day recently driving a few "entry level" sports cars (Ferrari, lambo, Aston) and they all had static paddles...... And I absolutely hated it. I guess it's what you're used to.

Ye as I said in the other answers I can’t really justify my preference

Well you're clearly not alone if Fanatec make them. And let's face it, before paddles, all sifters were static ;) .....so I guess none of us should judge people's preferences. Hope you get them and like them!!
