What sets the Shifter & Handbrake Plate apart?
-
Sturdy Construction The 5mm thick steel construction provides exceptional durability, giving you the confidence to go hard on your shifter or handbrake without worrying about stability. Many comparable plates feel flimsy, but this one gives you that solid connection, even in the most aggressive gear changes.
-
Wide Range of Mounting Positions Thanks to the multiple slots, the Shifter & Handbrake Plate offers flexibility in positioning. Whether you prefer your shifter closer or further away, higher or lower, you can adjust it to match your exact preferences. Other plates often limit you to fewer mounting positions, but this one opens up more options.
-
Broad Hardware Compatibility This plate works with shifters and handbrakes from all the top brands, including Thrustmaster TH8A, Logitech G Shifter, and Fanatec CSS. It also accommodates sequential shifters like the Heusinkveld or Aiologs. Many competitors are limited to just a few models, but this one covers a wide array of hardware, giving it a big edge in versatility.
-
Simple Installation With the included M6 bolts and nuts, attaching this plate to your rig is straightforward. There's no need for a toolbox full of exotic tools; an Allen key and a basic wrench get the job done quickly. This simplicity in setup makes it more user-friendly than some other plates, which can be tricky to install.

Shifter & Handbrake Plate Compatibility
The Shifter & Handbrake Plate is designed with broad compatibility in mind. It supports major hardware brands such as Thrustmaster TH8A, Logitech G Shifter, Fanatec CSS, and more, ensuring you can mount your gear no matter which brand you prefer.

However, custom drilling patterns are not supported, so make sure your hardware matches one of the pre-designed patterns before purchasing.
While this plate fits seamlessly with most pedal rigs, you may find that it needs slight adjustments depending on your rig’s design. It's not designed for compatibility with some ultra-customized setups or rigs that require specific mounting angles, so it’s best to double-check your rig's compatibility before installation. With its wide coverage of major brands, though, it will likely suit most standard sim rigs on the market today.
The Shifter & Handbrake Plate doesn't directly interface with gaming platforms or PCs but serves as a crucial accessory in optimizing your sim racing experience. By providing flexible mounting options for your gear, it supports hardware that connects to PC and console racing setups. Whether you're driving on a PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, this plate ensures your shifter and handbrake are positioned perfectly to complement your gameplay.
