The BDH Active Shifter is an H-pattern gear shifter with active servo-driven force feedback for sim racing, compatible with PC via SimHub, designed for drivers who want to feel the drivetrain —vibration, gear grinding and torque retention— with every shift.

CNC-machined from aerospace-grade billet aluminium and built on the mechanical foundation of the BDH H1 "Bazooka", it doesn't play back pre-programmed effects: its high-torque servo motor generates resistance in real time from SimHub telemetry. Designed and built in York, England, it is a purely H-pattern shifter (not dual-mode or sequential) for solid mounting on aluminium profile cockpits.

Key features of the BDH Active Shifter

  • Active servo-driven force feedback: resistance replicates the real drivetrain load in real time.
  • Telemetry-driven haptics: engine vibration, gear grinding and torque retention delivered through the lever.
  • Dynamic gate locking: prevents mis-shifts under load.
  • Native SimHub integration: no plugins or third-party software, with zero-latency response.
  • Adjustable 4- to 6-speed gate: reconfigurable in-session from the integrated rotary encoder.
  • Aerospace-grade billet aluminium chassis with an anodised finish.
  • Versatile mounting: top, side or reverse mount via an integrated clamp for aluminium profile, orientation-switchable left or right.

Frequently asked questions

Is the BDH Active Shifter sequential or dual-mode?

No. It is a purely H-pattern shifter; there is no sequential mode and no upgrade path from other BDH models, as it uses a completely new internal mechanism and control system.

What software do I need for the force feedback?

It requires SimHub, from which it reads real-time telemetry. Once connected it works as a plug-and-play device, with automatic configuration in supported games, and no plugins or third-party software.

Does it work with PlayStation or Xbox?

No. The Active Shifter is PC (Windows) only and is not compatible with consoles.

What effects does the active system simulate?

It includes clutch lock-out, gear grinding and torque retention: it dynamically adjusts resistance and recreates drivetrain behaviour from SimHub telemetry.

How is it mounted on the cockpit?

It supports top, side or reverse mounting via its integrated clamp for aluminium profiles, orientation-switchable left or right, with no additional brackets.

What warranty is included?

Two years. After that period, BDH continues to offer repair support under its Return for Repair policy, avoiding paying import taxes or duties twice on international shipments.
