Firstly, the "H" brand was sold out everywhere when I was piecing together my rig.
Ratings:
Handbrake: 5/5 – Does exactly what it needs to do. Simple and effective.
Brake Pedal: 5/5
Clutch: 5/5
Throttle Pedal: 4.5/5 – Could use a bit more resistance, but that is entirely subjective. I need to investigate whether the springs can be swapped.
Shifter: 4.5/5 – Supports both H-pattern and sequential configurations and includes two shift knobs.
Shifter Feedback
Shifting from 4th gear to 5th feels somewhat numb on my unit. My shifter is mounted on the right side of the rig.
The gearbox supports eight positions, but I am using the included 7-position shift plate (which is not rotatable): gears 1–6 plus Reverse.
If I shift leisurely from 4th to 5th, I occasionally miss 5th gear because there is very little resistance or tactile feedback. Sometimes I overshoot the right-side gate and end up in the 7th/8th gear column, landing in the neutral position above Reverse. When I try to correct the shift, I feel like I'm gambling between 3rd and 5th gear because there is so little feedback from the mechanism.
I was unable to mount the shifter rotated 180 degrees to mimic the layout found in many German vehicles, where Reverse is next to 1st gear. I preferred not to have the wiring facing my side of the rig, and rotating it would also prevent me from seeing the illuminated logo. If my missed shifts continue, I may reconsider rotating it despite those drawbacks.

Hey Stenneth,
Thank you for taking a chance on the VNM Complete Control Bundle and for sharing such a detailed review! We're delighted to hear that the pedals and handbrake have met your expectations and that you're pleased with the overall package.
We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback on the shifter, particularly regarding the tactile feel when shifting into 5th gear and the mounting orientation options. Detailed insights like yours are incredibly valuable for both fellow sim racers and future product development.
Thank you again for your support, and we hope you continue to enjoy your setup for many races to come!

Works with many mounting options, but is not installed as advertised. I rotated mine 90 degrees to better position the hand brake relative to the shifter. One suggestion would be to add a swivel/pivot option, like 35-55 degrees, so when pulling the handbrake, you're pulling it towards you rather than back, for better ergonomics.

Easy to install. Does what it’s supposed to do. No problems here. Would recommend if you need more shifter space.

Well built and designed, works perfect. I also got the TR-One Gen2 Universal Shifter Mount. Lots of hardware pieces came with both pieces allowing me to easily mount to my rig and mount the Simagic shifter and handbrake.
