Conspit CHS Shifter Review: A Full-Metal Dual-Mode Shifter Worth $370?
Quick summary· AI-generated
The Conspit CHS combines H-pattern and sequential shifting in a single full-metal body with a compact 150×95 mm footprint. After a month of testing across multiple sim titles, the reviewer found genuinely smooth and predictable shift feel in both modes, instant mode-switching capability, and solid build quality. Main drawbacks are high noise levels at high resistance and non-standard mounting brackets; replacement shift knobs cost extra. The reviewer positioned it as one of the best dual-mode shifters tested, comparing favorably against the Moza HGP, Simagic, Fanatec, Thrustmaster TH8A, and BDH shifters.

Conspit CHS · $369
Conspit sent this product to me for review.
Conspit has entered the shifter market with the CHS, a dual-mode shifter that combines a 7-gear H-pattern with reverse lockout and a sequential mode in a single full-metal body. It retails for $369, which is still a lot of money, but far less than the top-end competition. I spent a month with it across iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Dirt Rally 2.0 to find out whether the shift feel lives up to the spec sheet.

Conspit CHS
Full-metal dual-mode H-pattern and sequential shifter
VERDICT: The Conspit CHS is genuinely one of the best dual-mode shifters I have used, with excellent feel in both H-pattern and sequential modes. It is loud and the mounting needs work, but the shifting itself is worth the price.
BEST FOR Racers wanting H-pattern and sequential in one
NOT FOR Apartment dwellers with thin walls
What I Like Both H-pattern and sequential genuinely done well
Mechanical, smooth and predictable shift feel
Compact full-metal build with instant mode switching
What I Don’t Loud as hell, especially at high resistance
Mounting brackets are not standard
Only a rally knob included, replacements cost extra

Design and Build
The CHS is built entirely from metal, and it feels like it. The whole unit is dense and solid, with a compact footprint of 150 x 95 mm that takes up less space on a rig than many competing shifters. A transparent side panel exposes the internal mechanism, which is a welcome touch for anyone who likes to see how their hardware actually works.
The defining feature is the dual-mode design. Rather than bolting a sequential mode onto an H-pattern mechanism, Conspit gave each mode its own mechanical path, and you can feel the difference. A selector on top of the unit switches between H-pattern and sequential, and the change is effectively instant.
The H-pattern side gives you 7 forward gears plus reverse with a lockout lever on the shaft. Shift…
