With high durability, then, the TH8S is perfect for long-term use. The shifting stick itself features a metal shaft, which is ideal for resisting wear and tear that’ll come from shifting it between gears repeatedly. There’s a nice amount of weight that helps lock the shifter firmly in place when clamped to your desk or setup, too. And while it does lack a premium feel, it certainly isn’t poorly built. The Thrustmaster TH8S’s chassis is largely built from sturdy plastic.
