aikeec USB Gearshift Knob from a Man Truck ATS ETS for Logitech G29 G27 G25 G920 H Gearshift Shifter Knob for ATS ETS2 Games AI PC …

A review from a 25 year veteran truck driver.I do also own the SKRS knob for the TM TH8A.This one I received works as intended.I purchased it for the Logitech Driving Force Shifter. The one that comes with the G920 wheel. This shifter knob is mounted to the shifter by pressing it on. There is a plastic sleeve inside the knob to make for a tight fit. After its on it takes some effort to remove it and it does not spin easily on the shaft.The switches work as intended. Windows 10 recognizes the lever/switches as two separate buttons. ATS however recognizes both buttons as the same (button 0), but it does actually work in game as two separate buttons on the knob.The quality of this thing overall is really good. I don't know if this thing is an actual knob out of a Man truck or not, as I have never driven a Man. But it does feel like an actual shift knob from a truck so I wanna say it is.The thing I noticed most is the stepped tapper at the bottom of the knob. That is not something I have ever seen on one in the US. This tapper creates an issue however by making the knob length longer over all. So by the time the knob is installed and fully depressed onto the shaft of this shifter, there is not a lot of space for the cable between the knob and the shifters vinyl boot. So either extend the original shaft or create a notch in the bottom of the knob for the cable to exit. This will help eliminate the cable from rubbing on the vinyl.The buttons compared to an actual truck. The splitter on the side of this one is stiff and has a very nice snap to each position. Very much like a new one would from the factory. The range lever on the front is also stiff but does not have the snap past center when moved. An actual shifter does. An actaul knob is very mechanical on the inside. So this lack of snap could be due to its modification to electronic output.My SKRS has a very nice snap to it on the range lever, but the splitter was always loose and less snappy. A lot like when an actual one is worn out.I purchased a second one these for a backup, but I might actually use this one instead and put my SKRS in a box as backup. I like this one better.Price! I know these seem expensive, but I have replaced two knobs in actual trucks and each knob from the dealer was about $90. So I can't complain.Update 3-8-22: I received the second knob the day after I ordered it. I plugged it in, and it works and feels exactly the same as the first one. I also happened to look down through the bottom of it and I could see where the fittings for the airlines will thread in. So yes, this is an actual knob from a truck.Bumped to five star instead of 4 for consistency in quality. The only reason for the 4 was the lack of snap on the range lever.Update 9-4-23: The kid has really put some good time and abuse (normal use) on this thing, and its still working. How much time, and in game miles I do not know.The splitter is still stiff as it was new. The range selector has very slightly loosened up.Again this is an actual knob out of a truck. And some of these things mechanically, last a decade or more before you want a new one. Thats a decade worth of hundreds of thousands of miles, through possibly the same amount of shifting.Its hard to say what they may have changed in the mechanicals of it, to make it USB. But I suspect the electronic part will fail before the knob does. And who knows when that will be, with any electronics.I have repaired the mechanicals in these, in trucks, and they really aren't that difficult to take apart. The hardest part is getting that dang cover off the top, without scaring any of it up. I even seen the professional shops scratch them up, doing it.So the electronics are what you'll be concerned about.I have read many of the reviews on this, and they seem mixed, from some folks who may not have used one of these IRL.I don't think you could go wrong.Price to me, seems very fair, when you compare what these cost at the truck dealer, new, at retail price.

I’m using the Aikeec USB Gearshift Knob mainly for American Truck Simulator, but also tested it with BeamNG, Forza, and Assetto Corsa—and it adds a whole new level of realism to all of them. It fits perfectly on my Logitech G920 setup and mounts to my NBCP 6-speed shifter with push-down reverse.Setup was easy, but just a heads-up: mine didn’t come with a manual. Thankfully it’s plug-and-play via USB, and mapping the buttons was super simple in ATS and BeamNG. The knob itself feels solid—it’s full metal and has a satisfying feel when shifting. The button layout is perfect for sim truckers who like to map engine brakes, lights, or transmission modes.Only small issue I had was the knob sliding sideways during intense shifting. Since it’s metal-on-metal, the set screws didn’t grip well enough. I added some electrical tape to the stick, and now it stays tight and doesn’t turn.Pros:• Heavy, realistic metal feel• Plug and play on PC• Great compatibility (works in multiple sims)• Nice button layout for shifting functionsCons:• No manual included• Could use rubber or better grip for the mount (mine slipped until I modded it)Bottom line:This knob seriously levels up your sim rig if you love truck driving games or just want more immersion. It’s well worth the money, and with a small tweak to secure it better, it’s now one of my favorite parts of my whole setup.

After about 2 days of using it in Ats it stopped working i couldn’t shifter with my range. The hi low works perfectly fine but after 2 days the splitter stopped working. EDIT GOT ANOTHER ONE ON MY RETURN STILL DIDNT WORK WAS DEAD OUT BOX… DO NOT BUY

My son used this on his Logitech setup and loves it.

Overall this is a great product. Feels very nice and comfortable. I drive big trucks for a living, and this gear shifter is great for 8/9/10 speeds. But here's where it gets tricky.Works great with ATS, haven't tried it with ETS2 yet. When you are in your controller setup, you'll select one drop down for the wheel/shifter, and another drop down for the "truck switch".There are 3 colors for the splitter button on the side. Gray is for 18-speed, Blue is for 15-speed, Red is for 13-speed. This is key.On the one I received, it has the blue button, so only allows me to split gears in the low range. Once I put it in high range (front lever to up), you can no longer split the gears.Be mindful of this. But for the price, I'm going to keep it and get another one.I gave it 4-stars overall because it's still a great product, 5-star for the value (way less expensive than the skks one), 4-stars for the install (I really had to press down hard on the knob to seat it on the gear shifter shaft of my g920, and 5-stars for the comfort.

Coming from somebody who drives an 18 speed locally, this thing is actually legit, and works pretty well. I wanted something to do on my off days and play ATS quite a bit, this thing makes ATS a blast. Obviously there’s no air running through a transmission so there’s no “force” or “feedback” when splitting, but it feels nice and sturdy. Installation is as easy as taking one screw out, and pushing this guy on your shifter, plugging it in, and map all your gears. 5/5

It works great. Once I got it to fit on my shifter post. It's an extremely tight fit and You need to twist and push and twist and turn just to get it on and in place. For setup in ATS make sure you select the shifter in the drop down list on the top of the controls page. Also check the box for "shifter toggles use switch mode" otherwise it won't work. I use the high/low switch for shifter toggle 1 and the side switch for shifter toggle 2. I gave only 3 stars due to how difficult it was to install on the shifter post.
