For Sale- 1 year old Lightning SST shifter

Guy Moulton

I love this shifter and I don't want to sell it, but my PC has developed a problem with it and I can't figure it out. When the SST is hooked up to another PC (like the laptop I have) it works fine. When it is hooked up to my gaming PC, it is recognized but the buttons don't show up as being pressed when I go through the gears. I'm not reinstalling windows just for this, so I'm going for the TH8RS (which I have always wanted to try anyway).

Last year I modded this shifter so that 7th gear is blanked off (drilled a piece in place so the shifter can't enter that gate) and the shifter has a bit more resistance in shifting (just tightened it up). These are the only modifications I made. If you take it apart you can easily undo the blanked off gate. But it's 7th gear on an h-shifter..... would you really want to!

$120 shipped (that's almost half price without the shipping). US only unless you want to cover the shipping (then we can discuss the price)
 
I found the prob after posting this- the newest 8.51 Logitech Gaming Software has a prob with the SST. I got a new Logitech headset and it updated the LGS to this version and that breaks the SST. I rolled back to 8.40 and it works again. So I lose some functionality with the new headset :-/

Still moving on to the TH8 RS. What do you use, Cactus Dave?

Do you still have the sst for sale? Mine crapped out after years.
I might just give up simracing if I have to keep on with these stupid flippers.

Contact them, they might rebuild it.
 
I decided to keep the shifter. I found the issue and just reverted back to the old version of the Logitech software to solve it. This shifter is just too awesome to part with. I do wonder about the TH8 shifter though, I have heard it's good
 
TSW stuff is bulletproof, both the H and the sequential. The SST takes a little time to get used to, it isn't gated and I missed many shifts before mastering it. The other thing was I broke it 2 times..
I slammed gears hard when learning it, and messed up the 2nd gear switch, but the guys at SST are super customer friendly and repaired it free both times.

EDIT: LOL, now after putting on my glasses I see you were wondering about the TH8 shifter not TSW. oops.
 
As far as I know, they went out of business, so I'm screwed.
Y I had a bad switch so I moved 7th to p2 and no luck.
 
You can open up the unit and turn the gates (they are there but at the bottom) upside down and remap the buttons. I tried contacting gorillacustoms about the software issue but only got voicemail.
