For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you know the specs but really want to try the real thing. Especially with gaming gadgets, there's an appeal that you can only truly understand by physically touching them, such as key feel, fit, and texture.

That's why at the ASCII-sponsored event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II," held on Saturday, October 10th, we will be showcasing a wide array of highly anticipated gaming gadgets this summer. You'll be able to experience products recommended by our editorial team firsthand.

In this article, from among the gaming gadgets on display, we will introduce the shifter controller "ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5."

Instantly Switch Between H-Pattern and Sequential! ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5

The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 is a high-end shifter that allows you to switch between H-pattern and sequential modes with a single lever!

Not only can you adjust the shift resistance, but it also supports swapping in real car shift knobs. For those who want to meticulously craft their racing setup, it's truly a dream model.

Key Feature ①: Instantly Switch Between H-Pattern and Sequential!

With a single lever, you can instantly switch between H-pattern and sequential modes.

It's convenient to change the control method according to the game or your mood. A shifter like this is truly aspirational, isn't it!

Key Feature ②: Shift Resistance is Adjustable!

You can adjust the "weight" or resistance of the shift operation to your personal preference.

The appeal is that you can fine-tune not only the control method but also the actual feel when moving the lever!

Key Feature ③: Compatible with Real Car Shift Knobs!

The ability to swap in real car shift knobs is another key point. Furthermore, it comes standard with two types of aluminum knobs: one for H-pattern and one for sequential.

It's fun to customize the shifter to your liking, both in appearance and feel!

Head to Akihabara on Saturday, October 10th! Come and Experience the ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 in Person!

Gaming gadgets have aspects, such as button feel, dial resistance, and texture, that cannot be fully understood from photos or specs alone.

Happening in Akihabara! First-timers Are Absolutely Welcome! Come and Touch All the Gaming Gadgets You're Curious About!

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—Why not try out all the products you're curious about at once? No matter how many photos you see or spec sheets you read, the one thing you can't fully grasp is "what's it like to actually touch it?" So, let's head to Akihabara and try out everything that piques your interest!

The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)," an event where you can experience the latest gaming gadgets firsthand and consult with our editorial staff, has been decided! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And here's the important part: This event welcomes you just to look, touch, or compare. It's an event where you can freely try out gadgets that interest you at your own pace. There's no need to buy anything, so feel free to drop by!

There's no need to feel intimidated, thinking "PC events seem to be full of experts and hard to get into" or "What if they try to push me to buy something like in a store?" Not being an expert in PCs is perfectly fine! And of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key point is that you can carefully compare things like size, keyboard key feel, and mouse grip—aspects that are hard to understand online—right there on the spot. If you're unsure "what to choose," you can also freely consult with ASCII editorial staff.

Furthermore, we're planning prize giveaways, mini-stages, and puzzle-solving events. First, just come, look, touch, and remember what caught your eye. It's an event designed to be enjoyed with that level of casualness!

Of course, we'll also be holding the popular prize giveaway from last time. And we'll be doing it big! We've also prepared perfect novelty items to commemorate your visit, and we eagerly await your attendance.
