BDH Active Shifter
The BDH Active Shifter is a mechanical shifter enhanced by a high-torque servo motor driven by SimHub telemetry. Built on the proven BDH H1 mechanism, it makes you feel engine vibration, torque retention, gear grinding and kickback through the lever, with dynamic gate locking and clutch lock-out to prevent mis-shifts.
Key features
- Servo-driven force feedback: resistance follows drivetrain load
- Native SimHub integration: RPM becomes vibration, clutch engagement modulates resistance, drivetrain load changes gate retention
- Gear grinding and kickback on a missed clutch
- Clutch lock-out, dynamic gate locking under load and torque feedback
- Adjustable haptic intensity for every vehicle type
- Gate configuration from 4-speed to 6-speed
- Integrated rotary encoder interface to change gate pattern, haptic intensity, feedback levels and clutch bite point in session
- Orientation-switchable for left or right-hand mounting
- H-pattern and sequential: sequential operation added by firmware update
Technical specifications
- Drive: high-torque servo motor
- Software: SimHub (required for active functions)
- Base mechanism: BDH H1
- Construction: aerospace-grade billet aluminium, anodised finish
- Modes: H-pattern and sequential (firmware)
- Gates: 4 to 6 speeds, configurable

Important notes
SimHub is required for the active functions. Existing BDH shifters (H1, H2SQ) cannot be upgraded to Active: it uses a new internal mechanism and control system.
Compatibility
PC only, with automatic configuration in games supported by SimHub.
- Top, side or reverse mounting on aluminium profile rigs via BDH's integrated clamp system, without extra brackets.
Which model to choose
- H1: dedicated H-pattern, classic mechanical feel with solid detents
- H2SQ: dual-mode H-pattern and sprint-style sequential, smoother refined feel
- S1: dedicated rally-focused sequential, longer shaft, high-impact feel
- Active: servo-driven force feedback via SimHub telemetry
FAQ
Is SimHub required for the BDH Active Shifter?
Yes. The BDH Active Shifter integrates directly with SimHub, which is required for full functionality; it then works as a plug-and-play device.
Can a BDH H1 or H2SQ be upgraded to Active?
No. The BDH Active Shifter uses a completely new internal mechanism and control system.
Does the BDH Active Shifter support sequential mode?
Yes. Sequential operation was added to the BDH Active Shifter by a firmware update; check that your unit runs the latest firmware.
Who handles warranty and after-sales service?
The French Simracer handles after-sales service for the BDH Active Shifter, as for every brand it sells, with a contact based in France. You never deal with the manufacturer directly. The product carries the 2-year legal warranty, or the manufacturer warranty if longer.
