The only negatives of T500RS is in my opinion the fixed pallets. That's why I quickly coupled to shifter and after a few weeks of use I do not regret my purchase: upscale design 95% metal grid rewarding way ferrari, nice "click" in shifting .. I use it for now on Gran Turismo 5 (iRacing soon) on all cars with manual transmissions. It's work to pass all these speeds with the clutch! But what a pleasure above all you can type in, cash object. I have not tested the sequential mode and do not think to. (Plate included) No hesitation to have if you have the T500RS and are adept peak heel.
