The BDH H1 Bazooka is a fully mechanical H-pattern shifter for sim racing, compatible with PC via USB-C, with a 3.5 kg HE260 aluminium chassis and contactless Hall Effect sensors, inspired by the Ford Escort MKII gearbox.
A reissue of the original "Bazooka" for BDH's 5th anniversary, the H1 is a shifter dedicated purely to H-pattern (not dual-mode or sequential), with 8 customisable gear positions, a centralising CAM system and an adjustable detent. Designed and built in York, England, it combines steel gearing, self-lubricating bronze bushings and wear-free magnetic sensors for a metallic, zero-latency response on aluminium profile cockpits.
