Producto malo.
Cuando mi computadora me marcó error, lo abrí para revisarlo y pues, así viene, muy caro para que lo mandan así y con pegamento en la parte de abajo, sosteniendo el cable.Solicitó mi reembolso por favor.

I really like this thing!
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.
