The product arrived at home just the day after Xtmas.
I had the good idea to contact directly custom duties in Belgium on December 20th, giving them the exact Australian Post references.
They told me they were astonished that the Belgian post did not send me the link to pay the taxes.
It was possible from December 6th onwards to pay those pesky taxes (35 € BTW). Anyway I received the product and I am fully satisfied with it.
The original shifter from Logitech was useless for me (always the wrong speed and it feels like a toy). The handbrake in metal was a nice opportunity to bring it to life and to make it useful. Using a wheel button as handbrake is not something I recommend.
The product was easily setup. It is solid as a rock and it works flawlessly in games on PC.
I use it primarily as handbrake with Dirt Rally 2.0. This is all about timing, so it is pilot’s fault, not the product’s fault if I miss the road turn 😉
It is so solid that it can move the whole Next Level Racing Wheel stand 2.0 if the stand wheels are not locked (sometimes when they are locked too...).
Even if it comes so far away (from Belgium), this is a very good product I can only recommend.
In fact you improved the original Logitech shifter in two ways :
1. with H-pattern improvement spring (showing also how badly Logitech produced the original shifter, in order to reduce the production costs I guess) ;
2. with extra features like shifer 2.0 or handbrake.
Now I am interested in your magnetic paddle shifter mod...
I suggest you have a subsidiary company in Europe or you sell via Amazon. your products are great and you will find customers without any doubt even if sim racing is a niche market.
