SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored PXN A7 Gear Shifter using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the sim racing category. PXN's sim racing lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for sim racing of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
Key Features
- 1. 【NOTE】Please check product compatibility before purchasing. 1. The PXN-A7 only supports Thrustmaster steering wheels on PS3/PS4/PS5/Xbox One. 2. The PXN-A7 supports PXN V9/V99/V10/V12 steering wheel for PS3 / PS4 / Xbox one/Xbox Series X/S/PC. 3. The PXN-A7 does not support Logitech steering wheels on PS3/PS4/PS5/Xbox consoles. 4. The PXN-A7 does not support Thrustmaster steering wheels on PC.
- 2.【MULTI-PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY】: PXN A7 gear lever with removable three cables (DIN-USB, DIN-RJ11, DIN-DIN Cables) connect your PC, PXN steering wheels, and other steering wheels. The USB plug can be inserted into your computer and used with all steering wheels together on the computer; The RJ11 plug can be inserted into the PXN V9, and V10 steering wheels; The DIN plug can be inserted into the steering wheels with a DIN socket.(Note: console requires connection to T128/T248/T150/T300) ①When using the shifter on the computer, please connect it directly to the computer, not to the non-PXN steering wheel base. ②Some games require in-game button configuration and mapping.
- 3 .【SIX-SPEED SHIFTER WITH PUSH-DOWN REVERSE】We use the 6+1 gear shifter. The reverse gear design is different from the traditional shifter. You need to put the lever back in the middle, press it, and then switch to the 6th gear, that is, reverse gear. The six-speed reverse buckle "H" gear lever can move smoothly to each gear, with accurate gear change
- 4.【P-BRAKE AND HIGH&LOW SPEED BUTTONS】 Brake button: You can press the stop button directly to brake immediately in the game. If the brake can not be operated in time, the high and low gear button design can adapt to more gear requirements in the truck driving simulator. Extension rod design, the height of gear rod can be adjusted by 3cm, and can be disassembled according to the height you like.
- 5.【PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN】: PXN A7 shifter is made of high quality ABS material and solid steel gear shaft for extra sturdiness and durability. The threaded column bracket allows the shifter to be used on a 1.96 inch thick table and steering wheel bracket. (Note: In PS4 consoles, the A7 shifter needs to be used in conjunction with the steering wheel, only the PC side can be used alone.)
- 6.【Adjustable fixing clip】 The clip adopts the flat head adjustable design, and the threaded column bracket allows the shifter to be used on the workbench and steering wheel bracket within 1.96 inches thick. The clamp is made of ABS material and solid steel gear shaft, which has good robustness and durability, and is very stable when fixed on the table.
