Windows Central Verdict
A great shifter that will bring Xbox and Windows PC gamers up a gear.
It’ll come in clutch.
Sequential and H-Gate shifter all in one package.
A little boxy but excellent quality.
Multiple-length shafts and knob types allow for the best-customized feel.
Analog brake that takes the cake.
Can be a little “hitchy” if not used properly in sequential mode.
Excellent range of options with feedback detailing the analog hand brake.
I’ve loved racing games for years, dating back to the days of Gran Turismo on PlayStation 2.
He was never much of a gamer, but in those moments, he was.
Because of those heartfelt moments, racing has always held a special place in my heart.
Everything comes in black. So, don’t worry about any grease showing up.
That brings us to the modern technology of today.
Racing simulation wheels and peripherals are at an all-time peak.
Introducing the VelocityOne Multi-Shift.
I kind of wished the buttons were metallic, but they’re still presentable.
A premium racing shifter that can be used as a 7-speed H-pattern or sequential shifter.
I’ve been gaming and playing on PCs and consoles for 30 years.
Racing has, and always will be part of me.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Turtle Beach.
The company had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
There’s a lot to like about the VelocityOne Multi-Shift.
That resounding push for excellence has penetrated their racing wheel peripheral department.
Each of them fits those definitions well.
The general idea is that the greater the range of motion, the better the precision.
The option to switch from sequential to H-pattern shifting on the fly was fantastic.
There was no need to fiddle with extra options in the menu or reset key binds.
A flick of the switch was literally all I needed to do to switch over.
There’s also another switch that doubles the number of gears.
Hitting the button will swap from the first seven gears over to the remaining seven.
An excellent option for 18-wheeling enthusiasts like myself.
The added hall-effect magnetic technology lifts the entire experience.
There’s something far more manageable and controllable when using a proper hand brake to glide.
You’ll feel the power of a real drifter in the palm of your hand.
Heck, get two, and you’ll have both the analog brake and a shifter!
The mounting features are also rock solid.
It more than dealt with my desk via the clamp and racing rig with screws.
VelocityOne Multi-Shift review: The bad
Not everything is perfect, and neither is the VelocityOne Multi-Shift.
While my complaints are narrow and few, they’re still worth discussing.
Let’s break down what might hold potential buyers back.
First, I have a small issue with sequential mode.
Said hitch is literal, depending on use.
It’s small but noticeable if you’re overly aggressive in your shifting style.
My last complaint is the leather encasement.
I wish there was an option to remove the leather sleeve and reveal the underside of the H-pattern.
Even things you didn’t know you wanted, like analog braking.
If you’re looking for features and want to get multiple experiences from one rig, this is it.
You should not buy this if …
You’re looking for the most premium experience.
There’s higher-end gear available, but that’s not what Turtle Beach is aiming for.
They’re looking to tackle the entry and mid-level markets without breaking the bank.
Landing affordable features in the hands of gamers.
Honestly, the VelocityOne Multi-Shift surprised me.
The gadget is a near-perfect fit for any serious racing rig, both small and big.
For its price range, the VelocityOne Multi-Shift can’t be beat.
I’m extremely happy to see Turtle Beach continue crafting their VeloctyOne racing lineup.
Keep it up, Turtle Beach; you’re doing great.
