FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Product FAQs

  • Yes, but only when used with a compatible Fanatec wheelbase. Simply connect the shifter directly to the “Shifter 1” or “Shifter 2” port on the wheelbase with the included RJ12 cable. The SEQ acts just like the Fanatec Clubsport Shifter in sequential mode. There is nothing else you need to do.

    Should you ever decide to leave the Fanatec ecosystem, you can always connect the shifter to the ClubSport USB adapter to use it as a standalone shifter on PC.

  • Short answer: Made in the USA. These products are designed and hand-assembled in Ohio. Some components are sourced worldwide, such as fasteners, electronics, wires, switches, and cables. The knobs are currently sourced from China, but the main shifter enclosure and internals are produced in the USA.

  • The Mini Sequential has a magnetically-driven cam mechanism, and is significantly smaller than the V3 shifter.

    However, the Mini does not have adjustable tension or throw, though it can be mounted more easily in most cases.

    The feeling of the two is quite different, but both provide a tactile shifting experience.

  • Yes. However, there is no ETA currently.

  • An H-pattern shifter is in very early concept stages only. There is no ETA currently.

Shipping FAQs

  • That’s correct. Since adding additional product offerings, a flat rate fee has been added to each order to ensure I don’t lose money on low-cost accessories when they are ordered separately.

    You might ask, “Why can’t you just make orders over a certain value (shifters, for example) qualify for free shipping?” The answer is that my e-commerce package doesn’t currently offer that functionality without a significant cost increase on my end.

    I’ve slightly offset the cost of shifters to account for this change.

  • Orders containing a shifter will ship within 35 days of purchase, typically ahead of this timeframe. Shipment dates vary based on several factors including current order volume, your place in the queue, and whether or not parts are available in-house to begin assembly immediately.

    Oktane Designs is run by one person, and each shifter is hand-assembled and tested before it’s sent.

  • Most of them! Go ahead and place your order.

  • Flat rate international shipping starts at $25 USD for North America and $100 USD everywhere else. Please keep in mind that customs/import fees are the buyer’s responsibility.

    Your international order is just as important to me as domestic shipments. Items will be sent via UPS, and typically arrive within 5 business days from the shipment date.

  • No. Legally, and from an insurance perspective, every item will be declared on the customs invoice at the purchase price.

  • Yes. Please reach out to get free shipping on your accessory order. If you cancel the shifter order, you will be charged the flat rate to ship your accessory instead.

    Please note that shifters and accessories will ship together to save on shipping costs. Thanks for your understanding.
