VelocityOne Multi-Shift is a premium sim racing shifter & handbrake module that enables gamers to select between H-Gate shifting or rally-ready digital sequential shifting on-the-fly. More impressively, while in sequential mode the Handbrake button instantly transforms VelocityOne Multi-Shift into an analog handbrake.

What, no clutch pedal? :p
My Logitech G27 back in the 2000s came with both shifter (6-speed h-gate in addition to paddle shifters) and clutch pedal, for a fraction of what modern-day steering wheel controllers cost, which come with less (often the shifter is separate for example, or there's no clutch pedal).

I really haven't played any driving games since the 90's

How many titles actually support manual clutching? I presume most games just have a "press to shift up, press to shift down". How about changing gears in non-sequential order?

Those are very good questions, and I couldn't answer ya, as I haven't played many racing games in the last 20 years or so. And some of the more recent ones I played I ended up using a regular controller for, cuz it's a real hassle to break out the G27. I wish I had a proper, permanent setup for it, but I don't. But I think the more hardcore sim-like racers do have a lot of control and configuration options.

The serious ones that you don't see in benchmarks (often). Folks playing those are building their own controllers into their custom racing pods...
 
Yea the Level of Investment to get into a true custom driving rig is beyond what I would want to spend.
 
My son's cheap Logitech setup has a clutch pedal and I know he uses it because he screams about it all the time over Discord

He mostly plays BeamMG and Farming Simulator - so I assume at least some of those support a clutch.

What does he scream about the clutch? Complaining about it, or bragging? :p
 
I've never actually used a driving wheel, but I saw one on display somewhere recently. Can't remember where. Target? Microcenter? I believe it was Logitech branded.

It felt very flimsy and plasticky and nothing at all like driving a real car. I was kind of disappointed.

Maybe they come in different grades though.

If it is not running an actual game that supports it then it has no resistance, it basically rotates freely. But I think despite being frowned upon Logitech wheels offer far more resistance than needed if you set the strength to maximum. I don't think anyone needs better unless they plan to go pro. Anything else is just snobbery.

Ahh, I did not realize the resistance was configurable. I figured it was physically built into the wheel, permanently.

The Logitech ones are motorized and gear driven. Can feel chunky. You'll want a bracele for the foot pedals that break is super stiff.
