ACT-Labs GLP Shifter
shmokes:
My GLP shifter arrived from ACT-labs today to compliment my Logitech MOMO Force wheel. I've got to say that this shifter is impressive. The first game I tried it with was 4x4 EVO. I immediately decided that I had wasted my money. Then I realized that 4x4 EVO just plain sucks regardless of how you shift gears. I fired up Need For Speed 5 and it was seriously twice as fun with the shifter. I can't wait for Colin McRae 3 to be released next month.
I highly recommend these if you like racing games. It would also work well for High/Low shift games like Spy Hunter using gears 3 and 4 (they can be mapped to keyboard keys). Lots of fun.

notice: you must post picks when you discuss new items added to cabs. Thank you. ;)

Can all the gears be mapped to keyboard keys.. or just 3 & 4 ?
shmokes:
I will. I haven't mounted it yet. I'm in the slow process of building my first cab so it'll be a while. I'll definitely post pics. It'll be a while, though. I'm not much of a woodworker.
Yes, all gears can be mapped to keys so it will work at least somewhat with every game. I played one game that had no direct support where there was just an upshift and downshift. I mapped it so gear 3 was up and gear 4 was down and whenever I shifted I would just shift and then pull the stick back to nuetral. It worked pretty well.
