The Next Level Racing® HF8 Pro Haptic Feedback Gaming Pad adds eight individually controlled vibration zones to compatible racing, flight, and simulation seats. Compared with the original HF8, the Pro model delivers over 200% increased motor torque, over 400% more motor power, 60% faster motor speed, upgraded 75 fps HFS software, SIMAERO breathable mesh, and thicker high-density foam for stronger, faster, and more customizable feedback.
The HF8 Pro is a practical upgrade for users who want differentiated feedback through the back, hips, and legs without adding multiple external transducers, amplifiers, and cockpit mounting brackets.
Windows PC users receive the most detailed experience through game telemetry, HFS profiles, or SimHub. Console users can still receive audio-driven vibration, but they do not receive the same per-effect telemetry control.
Eight enhanced vibration motors are distributed across the backrest and seat base to provide localized tactile feedback.
Can reproduce engine, impact, turbulence, and directional effects.
Can provide braking, road texture, landing, and drivetrain feedback.
Can reproduce wheel slip, gear shifts, curb strikes, and runway effects.
The Pro version uses upgraded motors and software compared with the original HF8.
Creates stronger and more defined tactile sensations.
Provides greater intensity across demanding effects.
Improves response speed and separation between rapid effects.
Next Level Racing Haptic Feedback Software provides game-specific profiles and individual intensity control for the eight motors on supported Windows PCs.
Provides faster telemetry-driven updates than the original 15 fps system.
Adjust each motor separately to create personalized feedback.
Save different effect assignments for each simulation discipline.
Advanced PC users can integrate the HF8 Pro with SimHub for additional title support, effect creation, and combined haptic configurations.
USB connection with HFS or supported SimHub configurations provides game-driven effect control.
A 3.5 mm audio connection provides sound-derived vibration rather than individual telemetry effects.
Feel engine speed rise and fall through selected zones.
Add short impacts when shifting through the transmission.
Reproduce braking pulses and deceleration cues.
Assign tire-loss effects to selected seat zones.
Feel surface changes and track-edge impacts.
Add localized impact sensations when supported by the title.
Reproduce propeller, turbine, and engine-running sensations.
Add localized irregular feedback during disturbed airflow.
Feel extension, retraction, and touchdown-related events.
Add vibration during taxi, takeoff, and landing rolls.
Reproduce selected aerodynamic warning effects.
Create localized impact feedback during landing.
The pad uses breathable SIMAERO mesh, a non-slip surface, and upgraded high-density molded foam for comfort and motor isolation.
Promotes airflow during longer racing and flight sessions.
Helps distribute pressure and soften direct contact with the motors.
Helps keep the pad positioned against a compatible seat.
Adjustable straps allow the HF8 Pro to fit many racing seats, flight seats, gaming chairs, and office chairs.
For stronger motors, faster response, 75 fps HFS software, SIMAERO mesh, and upgraded foam.
For a lower-cost eight-zone haptic pad when maximum intensity and Pro materials are not required.
