Which gear shifter fits on the CSL Cockpit?

When it comes to building a versatile and immersive sim racing setup, a quality gear shifter can make all the difference. For sim racers who enjoy switching between different types of motorsport disciplines—from historic race cars to American stock cars, modern rally cars, and even everyday street cars—a gear shifter is an essential part of the experience. Unlike paddles on a steering wheel, a physical shifter brings added realism, allowing you to feel more connected to the car you’re driving and to replicate the sensation of various racing styles more authentically.

The Fanatec CSL Cockpit is a great foundation for any sim racing setup, and it offers options for mounting a gear shifter to give you more control and flexibility.

The CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder is an additional accessory you can purchase for your CSL Cockpit. The Holder is made from metal brackets that you mount to either side of the CSL Cockpit. With height and lateral adjustment options, you can find the perfect position of your shifter for optimum comfort and performance. It is sturdy even at its highest position and designed specifically for the ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5.

The shifter is made entirely out of metal which brings durability and reliability. It features both the H-Pattern and sequential modes to allow for more driving flexibility and comfort. You can switch from the H-Pattern mode to the ultra-realistic sequential mode without having to unplug or reboot the shifter, without having to remove the knob and even without needing a tool. In H-Pattern mode you can press down the shifter to access reverse or 7th gear, preventing you from shifting incorrectly.

The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 comes with two titan grey polished anodized knobs in the box. Both enhance the technical qualities of each mode. The H-Knob allows for quick shifts whereas the sequential knob provides extreme comfort. Thanks to the standardized automotive mount, you can change the knobs according to your personal taste.
