SimNet SSQ-1 Sequential Shifter

The Simnet SSQ-1 Sequential Shifter is an adjustable PC sim racing shifter built for drivers who want a more mechanical, customizable shift feel. Its metal construction, interchangeable detent system, adjustable handle, programmable multi-command lever, and software tuning let you tailor each shift to your driving style. KEY BENEFITS Customize shift resistance and tactile feedback with interchangeable detent balls for anything from a smoother action to a stronger, more pronounced notch Fine-tune ergonomics with 25 mm of handle height adjustment for a more natural reach from your driving position Access additional controls directly from the shifter with the programmable multi-command handle Adjust upshift and downshift trigger points through Simnet software to match your preferred shift action Get a rigid, mechanical feel from the stainless steel and CNC-machined aluminum construction Integrate the shifter into different sim racing setups through USB connectivity and supported third-party wheelbase connections Expand into a coordinated rally or drift setup with compatible Simnet handbrake mounting options WHO IT'S FOR The Simnet SSQ-1 is designed for beginner through advanced PC sim racers who want a dedicated sequential shifter with more adjustability than a basic up-and-down control. It is particularly well suited to rally, touring car, GT, drift, and other driving disciplines where fast sequential gear changes are part of the experience. Drivers building a dedicated cockpit will benefit most from its adjustable shift feel, handle position, mounting options, and ability to pair with a Simnet handbrake. KEY FEATURES The SSQ-1 uses a metal chassis constructed from stainless steel and CNC-machined aluminum for a rigid foundation during repeated shifts. Its interchangeable detent system allows the tactile response to be changed using included detent balls with different textures and sizes. The handle can be adjusted through a 25 mm range, while the resistance and notch feel can also be tuned to suit driver preference. A multi-command handle provides the standard forward and reverse sequential inputs while supporting additional programmable controls. Simnet software provides basic monitoring and adjustment for upshifts and downshifts, along with advanced trigger-point settings that can be configured around the driver's preferred shift behavior. The Simnet SSQ-1 Sequential Shifter also includes a dedicated USB connection and a transit port for supported third-party wheelbase integration. The platform can be expanded with optional handbrake lever extensions, different handle configurations, and a soft-grip handbrake option. Simnet also offers an optional mounting plate for positioning the SSQ-1 alongside a compatible handbrake in right-hand-drive or left-hand-drive layouts.

Changing the detent configuration alters how pronounced each shift feels, while resistance adjustment and the 25 mm handle-height range help dial in both effort and ergonomics. That makes it possible to configure a lighter, smoother action for rapid shifts or a more defined mechanical notch when stronger tactile feedback is preferred. The programmable handle also puts additional inputs within reach without requiring another button box or control to be positioned beside the shifter.
