HF8 Pro Haptic Feedback Pad

The Next Level Racing® HF8 Pro Haptic Gaming Pad is a seat pad with eight vibration motors for sim racing and flight sim players. It sits on your seat and turns in-game events like RPM, braking and landings into feedback you can feel, with separate control for racing and flight.

Next Level Racing rates it at over 200% more torque, 400% more power and 60% faster motor speed. It adds a new SIMAERO breathable mesh, upgraded high-density foam and 75fps real-time haptics software. You can tune each of the eight individual motors in the included HFS software or in SimHub. It is universally compatible with all major racing and flight cockpits.

Why it matters

More power, sharper feel

With over 200% more torque, 400% more power and 60% faster motor RPM, the HF8 Pro produces deeper, sharper and quicker sensations across eight separately controlled haptic zones. You can assign in-game effects such as engine RPM, braking, gear shifts and turbulence to each motor, with separate settings for racing and flight titles. A tight hairpin and a runway touchdown both come through as precise, real-time feedback.

Comfort for long sessions

SIMAERO Mesh fabric breathes and sheds heat, so you stay cool during long sessions. A non-slip surface and high-density molded foam give lasting support. The improved fit and adjustable straps hold the pad snug on Next Level Racing seats or any compatible seat on the market.

You control every zone

Each of the eight haptic vibration motors has its own intensity setting. In HFS software or with SimHub, you choose which effects each motor plays: engine RPM, gear shifts, braking, road texture, turbulence and more. Racing and flight titles each get their own setup. A GT race through the corners and the rumble of landing gear can feel completely different, tuned to how you play.

HFS software

The upgraded HFS software now runs at 75fps, for responsive, low-latency feedback. It supports a wide library of racing, flight and sim games, so you can start playing your favorites right away. Save your settings as custom profiles and load them any time. Advanced users can also run the pad through SimHub. Setup is plug-and-play.

Key features

• Over 200% more torque: more than double the torque gives deeper, stronger vibrations that land harder and react faster in every turn and impact
• Over 400% more power: a 400% jump in motor power keeps effects strong and consistent, even in long, high-load sessions
• 60% faster motor RPM: quicker motors produce fast, precise vibrations, from fine surface texture to sudden hits
• Real-time haptics, 15fps to 75fps: the HFS software now runs at 75 frames per second for near-instant, low-latency response
• SIMAERO mesh: Next Level Racing's SimAero™ fabric lets air flow so you stay cool, dry and focused
• Thicker high-density foam: spreads pressure better for long-lasting comfort in a racing or flight setup
