USB American Truck Simulator Shifter Gearshift Knob - Realistic Truck

In this review the suupar USB American Truck Simulator Shifter is assessed for sim drivers who want a more authentic truck shifting experience on PC. The bottom line: this plug-and-play USB gearshift is best for ETS2 and ATS players using wheels like Logitech G29, G27 or Thrustmaster TH8A who want physical H-pattern shifting up to 18 gears without complex mods. It delivers a satisfying, ergonomic feel and simple setup, but is strictly a Windows PC device and requires mapping in-game for full functionality.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Works with Logitech G25/G27/G29/G920, Thrustmaster TH8A and Fanatec SQ, making it easy to add a shifter to many popular wheel setups.
• USB plug-and-play: Connects via USB so the shifter appears as a joystick/controller in ETS2 and ATS for straightforward configuration.
• 18-gear support: Supports up to 18 gears with high/low range switching, letting users recreate Eaton Fuller 10/13/18 speed patterns.
• Ergonomic design: The knob and switch layout are shaped for comfortable, low-effort shifting that enhances immersion during long drives.
• Multiple adapter sizes: Includes 8mm, 10mm and 12mm adapters to fit a variety of shift lever diameters without modification.
• Custom setting button: A dedicated button allows users to set a personalized configuration for nonstandard mappings or preferences.

Who It's For

The suupar USB shifter is ideal for PC sim racers who play Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator and already own wheelbases like the Logitech G series, Thrustmaster TH8A or Fanatec SQ. It is a practical upgrade for players who want a more realistic H-shifter experience, especially those who prefer manual gear selection over automatic or sequential setups.

Less suitable are console players or those who expect native cross-platform support, because the device only supports Windows PC. Users who need force feedback integration tied to a wheelbase should also check compatibility with their specific wheel and setup before purchase.

Pros & Cons

• Supports up to 18 gears and a custom button for personalized configurations.

Cons

• Only supports Windows PC and requires manual mapping in ETS2/ATS game controls.
• No native force feedback or wheel-dependent integration is provided by the shifter itself.

Our Verdict

The suupar USB truck shifter is a practical, good-value add-on for PC sim drivers who want an authentic H-pattern experience in ETS2 or ATS.
