  • Excellent Simulator Haptic Pad
Style: Gaming Pad
Next Level Racing HF8 is an excellent product. The only painful thing about this product is Next Level Racing's software. It is horrible. Fear not though, because there is a software that you can download free and use with no limits (and please support the developer by donating) that is one million times better than Next Level's software. Go to Simhub and download their SimHub software. Simhub is a simulator peripheral/accessory software that powers many of today's simulator peripherals, including the HF8 Haptic Pad. And yes, SimHub is well-known and used globally by simulator enthusiasts. Once you have SimHub installed, HF8 will take you to another level of immersion. The problem I have with Next Level Racing's software is that it fails to detect my games that are installed in another drive. It seems Next Level Racing's software only detects games in your C: default drive. When I downloaded SimHub's software, it detected all my simulators, and with a press of a button, configured the simulators to function with my HF8 Haptic Pad...one press and SimHub configured it, plus it offers all types of haptic feedback options, from sending a pulse on the haptic pad whenever you change gears, to experiencing rumble effects when you hit a kerb., grass, dirt, rock. So...to save you the headache and pain...get SimHub's software and use it to run your HF8 Haptic. If you really want to use Next Level Racing's software, good luck and I hope it works for you. I am writing my review based on SimHub's software and HF8's pad so I cannot comment on how Next Level Racing's software works. I feel Next Level Racing's software still needs more work... a lot of work. With the SimHub software installed, you can now truly enjoy HF8 Haptic. I've tested HF8 on the following simulators that I use and they all WORK. Automobilista 2 Assetto Corsa Assetto Corsa Competizione Project Cars 1 Project Cars 2 RFactor 2 Euro Truck Simulator 2 American Truck Simulator F1 2022 Nascar Heat 4 The key to truly experiencing this HF8 is to get a good racing seat. The HF8 comes with three sections of straps to keep your haptic pad in place on your racing seat. The HF8 works best via USB to connect to your PC. You can also connect HF8 to your console via your consoles headphone jack where the feedback relies on audio to generate the haptic effect at a much lower weaker effect- HF8 comes with a input jack to connect your console and an output jack to connect your headphones. PC- USB is the only way to really experience HF8's haptic feedback- it's stronger, more powerful, and yes...MORE immersive. The HF8 comes with a small controller that you use to raise or lower the feedback effect- the LED changes colour depending on your setting -green means light effect, red means POW!!! HF8 comes with its own power supply adapter and has a long USB cable. I use a USB extension cable because I have a large Next Level racing simulator cockpit so I have to run the USB cable all the way around the cockpit to my PC. The HF8 has several haptic pads- two on your shoulders, two on your back, one your bottom, one on your thighs and two on leg area right under near your knees. Using the SimHub software, you can choose which type of effect to experience HF8's power, and how strong the feedback should be. Next Level Racing's software does offer the same feature but as I said, I never got it to work on my setup. Before using HF8 I decided to go out and drive a real vehicle first. I have been driving for 46 years but I still decided to go out and drive my vehicle to get a real-life sense on what I feel when I drive. I started taking mental notes how strong the feedback was when I hit the many potholes we have on our street. I drove on the highway, got a feel of the road impact at a good speed. I tried to feel the rumble of the engine. I did some basic cornering on this road that we have where it has some really good sharp turns. I tried to feel the pulse of the gears when it changed from 1st to second to third to fourth and so on. As soon as I had collected all these mental notes, I went home and then started working on my HF8 settings. I was surprised to see that in reality, I really don't feel the engine rumble on my back, so I decided to dial down the engine rumble on my HF8. I raised the settings on my HF8 for road impacts. So, all these preparations really helped me dial down or up what is close to reality. HF8 is able to give me a close representation of real life feedback when I drive my simulators. The HF8 is a gear that you want to have if you are serious with racing simulators. It pairs well if you have a motion platform installed on your simulator cockpit. Overall, I like Next Level Racing's Haptic Pad. It definitely raised my immersion level to another level. The only challenge with this product is its software, but there is an option you can use. Thank you Next Level Racing. ... show more

  • Good value for the money
Style: Gaming Pad
Overall I like the pad. It gives you a more immersive driving sensation. You now feel the whole car and the road surfaces etc. with your whole body. The included software is really not that good, but if you use simhub instead (there's a good video on YT, explaining how to set it up in simhub), the thing really comes alive. Overall a good product and I would buy it again ... show more

  • One motor broke within a month, customer suppor team on point
Style: Gaming Pad
I got it delivered October 25th. Loved using it and it added to a lot of immersion in DCS and Asetto. However as of November 30th (not considering I haven’t used it in a week or two) one motor doesn’t work using every software test to try to get it to fire. It’s a shame, really cool piece of equipment but with the price tag and how it broke literally just after the return period I wouldn’t recommend it. edit: I reached out to the HFS support team and they'll be sending a new unit out, the warranty process is straight forward, so im bumping the review up to 5 stars from 1. If the warranty claim process was more of a pain then it would be 4, but over all it's painless. ... show more

  • Did not live up to the hype that all the YouTubers and Twitch streamers endorsed
Style: Gaming Pad
I tested the Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic Feedback Gaming Pad (NLR-G001) with popular flight simulators like DCS and Microsoft Flight Simulator, and unfortunately, it fell far short of my expectations. The promised immersion factor was severely lacking, as the haptic feedback provided by the HF8 gaming pad failed to deliver the level of engagement and realism I was anticipating. The vibrations felt underwhelming and often disconnected from the in-game actions, failing to truly immerse me in the flight simulation experience. Instead of enhancing the experience, it felt more like a gimmick that added little to no value. Moreover, the comfort of the gaming pad was a major letdown, particularly during extended flights. Despite its promising design, it proved to be uncomfortable and even painful to sit on for prolonged periods. The pad's lack of adequate cushioning and ergonomic support led to discomfort and even soreness in my buttocks, which greatly hindered my enjoyment of the simulated flights. ... show more

  • Great quality and Performance. Using SimShaker For Aviators Instead of Native Software.
Style: Gaming Pad
This is a game-changer for any flight sim or racing simulator enthusiast. The HF8 is surprisingly comfortable to sit on, with a soft and breathable fabric that keeps you cool. The haptic feedback is powerful and immersive, making you feel every bump, turn, and acceleration. It really adds a new dimension to your simulation setup. The only downside is that the software setup is a bit complicated. I decided to use a third-party software called SimShaker for Aviators, which I found to have more options and features than the default one. However, it took a little time to follow the online tutorials and configure everything correctly. Once I did, though, it was totally worth it. Also, the HF8 compliments my Respawn 900 recliner. Even when I am not sim-ing, the HF8 adds comfort and support to the right areas. The HF8 is an amazing product that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a realistic and fun simulation experience. ... show more

  • It's ok and shows promise but can easily be a regrettable purchase.
Style: Gaming Pad
OK so what you should consider is not many games are supported and any others use a sound card which is less than optimal for many titles and pretty much unusable for others. That said they will be adding new games to their supported list but that may take some time as status on their page seems to be lacking any updates to that. Now if you can get over that the racing pad can be rather uncomfortable. It's easily squishable foam with a bunch of large hard hockey puck or bigger vibrating motors. They can create some really sore spots so long gaming sessions or endurance races are probably not the best.. personally I'm considering dismantling the whole thing and mounting it into a seat cutting pockets for the motors so it is more usable for longer sessions. ... show more
