About this deal
The announcement last week of the HF8, being a pad, multiple “shakers” and being relatively silent (based on reviews I watched from popular streamers); all combined lead me to my purchase. For racing sims you only need simhub to get it to work with your seat, but i still got me the simshaker wheels addon.

The Next Level Racing® HF8 is optimized for different simulation games* for a unique in-game experience. You can interact with ready to use haptic profiles or create your own for each gaming title, and even share your profile with the gaming community.In-game telemetry data* for PC games and sound output for console games, provide an immersive experience for racing, First Person Shooter (FPS), and flight. Mine arrived today, initially I plugged the audio cable into the V1 yoke and was somewhat underwhelmed.
