Buying guide: PXN shifters and handbrakes
PXN covers the three controls you add after the wheel and pedals: an H-pattern, a sequential and a handbrake. It is the range that lets you complete a rig without spending what a wheelbase costs. PassionSim is the official PXN distributor in Canada.
Three controls, three uses
The SF-SH offers an H-pattern gate for older cars, period touring and truck simulation. The SF-SMG works sequentially, faster and closer to modern rally and GT machinery. The HBS handbrake covers drift, rally hairpins and manoeuvring. All three are independent: you add the one your discipline needs.
Where to start
Look at what you drive most. In GT and formula, the wheel's paddles are enough and none of the three is a priority. In rally, the sequential and the handbrake tend to arrive together. In truck simulation or on pre-1990s cars, the H-pattern is what you miss most. Nothing requires taking all three at once.
Installation and compatibility
All three mount on a rig's aluminium extrusion and connect straight to the PC, independently of your wheelbase. Plan for space to the right of the wheel: that is the area both a shifter and a handbrake want, and it is often the real constraint on a compact chassis.
