Gearstick compatibility

Hi all

For Christmas we got our little boy a SIM setup, he now wants a gear stick so he can drive a car 'like dad does'

he has a Thrustmaster wheel and pedals, will the Logitech gearstick work along side it or does it need to be the same brand for compatibility?

Cheers

They'll be independent USB devices, so get whatever

Hold on. The Logitech Driving Force shifter is *not* a USB device and must be connected to a Logitech wheel.

Adapters are available but they're 3rd party and might add over 50% to the cost.

Yeah, I skim read tbh. Everything but the Logitech shifter is an independent device.
Sorry about that.

Cheers both, I managed to grab a Thrustmaster Gearstick which is compatible with our wheel, thanks for your help
